The Writing King Your Ethical Ghostwriter. Your Story, Done Right.

Director: Kirk Wise

Kirk Wise co-directed Beauty and the Beast with Gary Trousdale, and it became the first animated film nominated for Best Picture. The ballroom sequence combined hand-drawn characters with a computer-generated background at a time when that had never been attempted at scale.

They followed it with The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which is startlingly dark for a Disney feature, with a villain whose motivation is explicit lust and a song about damnation.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire was the last of the partnership’s features and its commercial failure contributed to Disney abandoning hand-drawn animation.
