And it\u2019s so rewarding to [study] because you get to understand those personal signatures that those artists bring to the characters.

The decision was made by chief creative officer Jennifer Lee and producer turned Disney Animation Studios president Clark Spencer (<em>Encanto<\/em>). The program featured Goldberg (who is probably most well-known for his role as animation supervisor for Genie from<em> Aladdin<\/em>), Mark Henn (Supervising animator of Young Simba from <em>The Lion King<\/em> and Tiana from <em>The Princess and the Frog<\/em>), Randy Haycock (Supervising animator of Princess Kida from <em>Atlantis: The Lost Empire <\/em>and Prince Naveen from<em> The Princess and the Frog<\/em>), and Rachel Bibb (Lead Key Assistant Animator of Pooh and Christopher Robin in 2011\u2019s <em>Winnie the Pooh<\/em>).<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\nSix trainees were selected out of more than 2,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>licants. The program spans twelve months and covers character and effects animation as well as cleanup. Goldberg expresses the excitement behind the program.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<em>\u201cI\u2019ve been campaigning for a long time to train up people in hand-drawn, and, as the CG films became more and more popular, that idea became less and less important to the studio. But now we have an atmosphere and a group of people who recognize that\u2019s part of the legacy here, and to actually have content that requires hand-drawn animation is absolutely great. Thank goodness we have people who can do both here, but to actually commit to training up a new generation is a wonderful thing and I think perfectly appropriate for [us].\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Goldberg, it is the success of Disney+ that played a hand in the studio turning an eye back to its roots. While the company is still shifting its attention to the streaming platform, hand-drawn animation is expected to play a bigger role in the process. According to Goldberg, this could include feature-length films to series! Floyd Norman, a Disney Legend who participated in the creation of such classics as Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book, and Robin Hood, spoke up about the studio\u2019s return to its roots.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! --><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<em>\u201cI remain very enthusiastic about Disney\u2019s animation unit.
