Ambrozi "Amby" Paliwoda (December 20, 1909 – June 9, 1999) was an American animator.

An American of Ukrainian descent, Paliwoda grew up in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio.[1]

Paliwoda graduated with honors from the Cleveland Institute of Art.[2] He contributed a painting, "Out of the Past, the Present, Out of the Material, the Spiritual", to the Cleveland Public Library's Jefferson branch through the Works Progress Administration arts program.[1] He spent the next year touring Europe on an art scholarship.[3]

Later, Paliwoda moved to Los Angeles, where he worked from 1935 to 1960 at Walt Disney Studios, first as an assistant animator and later as an animator. His first film work was on Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1937).[4] While at Disney he helped organize the Motion Picture Screen Cartoonists, Local 839 IATSE, and was one of the 21 charter members of that union.[citation needed]

Paliwoda served in the United States military during World War II.[5][6] He trained with the Signal Corps.[7] In his leisure time, played chess with Milt Kahl.[8]

After leaving Disney, he worked for other studios, including Hanna-Barbera and Duck Soup Producktions.[9][10]

For his lifetime of work in the animation field, Paliwoda received the Animation Guild's Golden Award in 1985.[9]

Paliwoda died on June 9, 1999.[11][12] Ralph Bakshi's short film Last Days of Coney Island was dedicated to the memory Paliwoda (and others).[13]
