Schneer (May 5, 1920 – January 21, 2009) was a film producer most widely known for working with Ray Harryhausen, known for his work in stop motion model animation. ==Life and career== Born in Norfolk, Virginia, he graduated from Columbia University in 1940.

The octopus had only six tentacles, which Schneer is reported to have been correct in claiming no one would notice.〔Bill Edwards (Obituary – Charles Schneer, ) ''The Guardian'', October 29, 2009〕 This film made use of stop-motion photography which the two men were to use to greater effect in later films including ''Jason and the Argonauts'' (1963), ''The Golden Voyage of Sinbad'' (1973), and ''Clash of the Titans'' (1981). In 1960, he moved his base of operations to London, where he remained for 45 years. Beside the fantasy films, he also produced the film version of the stage musical ''Half a Sixpence'' (1967) starring Tommy Steele and ''Hellcats of the Navy'' (1957), the only film starring both Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan (as Nancy Davis).
