Drawing and Animating Movie Magic with Oscar Nominated Artist and Director Aaron Blaise

This is the recording of a live broadcast special where I chat with Oscar-nominated animator and director Aaron Blaise. We talk about his career at Disney working on movies such as The Lion King, Pocahontas, Brother Bear and Aladdin, along with more recent animation projects and how he uses Photoshop to draw. We also go behind the scenes and get an exclusive look into his short film project, Snow Bear. It's a rare chance to hear from someone who has helped bring some of the best-loved animated films to life.
