He was also the lead animator of Snow White in Disney's Snow White (1937) and of the Prince and the Princess in Fleischer's Gulliver's Travels (1939). In the 1940s and 1950s, he worked with several studios drawing Mickey Mouse, Woody Woodpecker, Popeye, Mr. Magoo, and many other cartoon characters. A 1910 graduate of local Lincoln High School, Natwick created the first logo for the yearbook, Ahdawagam, and provided artwork for Consolidated News, a paper company publication. For several early years, his major income came from illustrating sheet music covers, including "St. Louis Blues" and other works by W.C. Handy. His maternal grandfather, Reuben Lyon, for whom Lyon Park on the west side of Wisconsin Rapids is named, was the last mayor of Centralia, now Wisconsin Rapids. His paternal grandfather, Ole Natwick, arrived in 1852 and operated a sawmill in the area. Grim's parents, James and Henrietta (Lyon) Natwick, owned a furniture store and raised eight children there. His brother Frank was invited to the 1908 Olympic games, and first cousin Mildred Natwick was a prominent movie and Broadway character actress.
