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).
