John Musker is retiring from Disney after 43 years to make his own short films. No word on whether Ron Clements plans to leave as well. On the bright side, he's already working on a 2D-animated short!

Disney director John Musker retired today. One of the directing team who brought you Great Mouse, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Treasure Planet, Princess and the Frog and Moana! He is planning on making his own short films. What do you think, end of an era?

We got to wish legendary director John Musker a Happy Retirement! It was an honor and a sheer delight to have worked under John on Moana! John was an inspiration, having directed classic Disney films such as “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”, “Hercules”, “Princess and the Frog” and most recently “Moana”! We’ll miss you John! Best of luck on your animated short!
