Bio:

  • Eric Goldberg is a director, designer, and animator whose early forays into Super-8 filmmaking earned him a full scholarship to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He began his career as an assistant animator on Richard Williams’ RAGGEDY ANN & ANDY: A MUSICAL ADVENTURE (1977). After co-founding Pizazz Pictures, a commercials studio, he joined Disney and began work as supervising animator on the wise-cracking Genie in ALADDIN (1992). He went on to co-direct POCAHONTAS (1995), animate the feisty satyr Phil in HERCULES (1997), and then directed, wrote, and animated two sequences for FANTASIA?2000 (1999) (“Carnival of the Animals” and “Rhapsody in Blue”). Recently, he served as supervising animator of the trumpet-playing alligator Louis in the hand-drawn feature THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG (2011).
