Tyrus (Documentary)

Post by Sotiris »

A feature-length documentary about Tyrus Wong, a veteran Disney artist most known for his work on Bambi, is being produced. Don Hahn serves as an executive producer and the film features interviews from various Disney artists. You can watch the trailer, here. There's also an exhibit of his work at the San Francisco's Asian Art Museum.

Interestingly, this is the second documentary this year focusing on a veteran Disney artist of color (the first one being Floyd Norman: An Animated Life).

To learn more about the project, you can visit the following.
