The two continued their collaboration, with Snyder producing and Deitch directing both original films, including the Nudnik series, and cartoons outsourced from American studios such as Tom and Jerry cartoons for MGM, episodes of Popeye the Sailor for King Features, and shorts for both UPA and Terrytoons, both of where Deitch had previously worked. Three additional nominations for Best Animated Sort were received. Snyder also produced the feature film Alice of Wonderland in Paris (1966).Snyder died of Alzheimer's disease at the age of 80 in 1998.
Rembrandt Films is run today by his son, Adam Snyder, and his wife, Patricia Giniger Snyder.
