width= WOW! This summer marks the 30th Anniversary  of Disney’s The Lion King!

This movie literally changed my life!
And it was not just me… the movie changed the ENTIRE ANIMATION INDUSTRY!

So, I didn’t want to let the occasion go unmarked! 

This week I did a new public live stream on my YouTube Channel where I shared stories from the making of the film, answered viewer questions and created some new animation of young Nala – The character I designed and animated for the film!

Give it a watch below:

    I can’t say how much it means to see this, CAT team; it’s a beautiful story that brings so much more meaning to her. One of my earliest memories is pausing my Lion King VHS on Nala’s scenes to draw her. I would sit in front of that frozen image and do my best; of course it must have been scribbles, but I just remember the joy it brought me and I hold on to that until this day when I pick up a pencil. You taught me to love drawing 25 years ago.To see this and learn about her relationship to your daughter makes Nala all the more special. Thanks for sharing, this is why we make art.
