This week on the show, we welcome phenomenal artist Aaron Blaise. Aaron is a veteran of Walt Disney Feature Animation, where he worked as an animator and supervising animator on The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, and Mulan. He was also co-director of the underappreciated Brother Bear, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature Film. On this episode, we chat with Aaron about his years with Disney, the legacy of Brother Bear, his move toward illustration and teaching, what drives him creatively, working digitally, and where he's going next.
