About Claude Cloutier
- Claude Cloutier is a Quebec film animator and illustrator who has to date made seven short films with the National Film Board of Canada.

- He worked most notably as an illustrator with the now-defunct Quebec satirical magazine Croc, with two comic book-style series La légende des Jean-Guy and Gilles la Jungle contre Méchant-Man.
- His hoped-for entry into animation came when an NFB producer asked him if he wished to adapt La légende des Jean-Guy into an animated short, which resulted in The Persistent Peddler.The summer of 2015, Cloutier did a two-week "Frame x Frame" exhibition at the Musée de la civilisation in Quebec City, during which the public could watch him working on his next film.
- Cloutier has said his animation technique involves working first with paper and ink: "I draw on paper with brush, India ink and water, for nuance and half-tones.
- After that, it's colored by computer.
- I like to draw on paper.
- I'm old-school."
