Don Hahn
Don Hahn produced the classic Beauty and the Beast, the first animated film to receive a Best Picture nomination from the Motion Picture Academy. His next film, The Lion King, broke box-office records all over the world to become the top-grossing traditionally animated film of all time and a long-running blockbuster Broadway musical. Hahn served as associate producer on the landmark motion picture Who Framed Roger Rabbit. His other films: The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the 2006 short The Little Matchgirl (which earned Hahn his second Oscar® nomination), Maleficent, and Burton’s Frankenweenie, as well as the Disneynature films Earth, Oceans, African Cats, and Chimpanzee. Hahn has also authored three books on the art of animation, including the 2008 book, The Alchemy of Animation, which provides the definitive account of how animated films are created in the modern age.
