Kevin Lima traces his fascination with animation to seeing Disney’s Jungle Book in 1967, when at the film’s end, he said to his mother, “I’m going to make that when I grow up.” Lima was true to his word and after graduating from the California Institute of the Arts worked on many of the films of the Disney’s renaissance including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin before taking the director’s chair on A Goofy Movie and Tarzan. In 2000, Kevin made his live-action feature film debut with 102 Dalmatians, then the TV movies Eloise at the Plaza and Eloise at Christmastime for which he won the Director’s Guild of America award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Children’s Programs. His film, Enchanted was the joyous culmination of all of Lima’s filmmaking experiences in live-action and animation. Currently, Kevin is collaborating with his wife, Brenda Chapman, the Academy Award winning director of The Prince of Egypt and Brave, to form ‘Twas Entertainment.
