Charbonnier trained at the Paris École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris and the Académie Ranson. Since then he has worked in a wide variety of artistic fields, including as a painter and costume designer at the theater.

Since 1928, Pierre Charbonnier has directed a series of short and animated films. Its most important cinéastically phase began in 1950 with the collaboration with Robert Bresson .
