I'm preparing for another big interview, this time with the directors of Disney classics like The Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Princess and the Frog and Moana.
The dynamic duo of Ron Clements and John Musker.
I will be recording the interview this Wednesday if the weather is right and posting it later to the Animateducated YouTube channel which you are a subscriber of or should be!
Back in the early 1980s, Women were just beginning to enter the animation industry and Lee Crowe was one of them. She graduated with a BA in Art from a college near her home in Georgia, before moving to Canada to be enrolled into the Sheridan College Animation program.
After graduating, moved to Los Angeles, where she job her first job in animation at a smaller animation studio called Carter Mendez. She met Floyd Norman and worked there on several animation projects before it was discovered that the studio was a front for a money laundering scheme.
Take a look at the interview below and learn about more animation stories that Lee Crowe experienced during the early part of her career in animation.
I feels good to finally go through these boxes in my garage and clean up the place for a change.

Its kinda of a Information yard sale, all I ask is that you click on the ads to let me know you appreciate this blog.
