Cal Dalton (December 2, 1908 – June 9, 1974) was an American animator and director at Warner Bros. Cartoons.
Afterwards, Dalton left to work at Leon Schlesinger Productions, with his first project being 1934's Viva Buddy.
Dalton later admitted feeling aggrieved about the fact that while he was meant to be nominally in charge of Freleng's former unit, he tended to be overshadowed by the presence of the more experienced Hardaway.
Cal Dalton's major contribution to the legacy of Warner Bros. animation was having co-directed Hare-um Scare-um in 1939 with Hardaway.
He spent the rest of his years at Warner Bros. doing strictly animation work before leaving the studio in 1947.
