ANIMATION

I learned animation at Cal Arts as a student in 1978 and as an employee at the Disney Studios.

I was Glen Keene and Randy Cartwright’s assistant on "Fox and The Hound", then John Pomeroy’s assistant on "Dragon’s Lair 2" and "An American Tail".

 John had assisted and been one of Milt Kahl’s favorites of the new generation, so I can rightly consider myself having learned how to animate from the great masters of animation.

Before transitioning into “story”, I animated on "Oliver and Co.", "The Little Mermaid" and as supervising animator on "Rescuers Down Under".

I continue to enjoy hand drawn animation, although these days I do it mostly for my own short film projects.

I was one of the animators of Ariel in THE LITTLE MERMAID

I did these scenes with the Chef and Sebastian.

I animated Sebastian and designed the ducks, the turtle and the pelicans.
