Asifa-Hollywood Will Live Stream Annecy Master Class With Clements and Musker on Friday

On Friday, June 19th at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern), 9:00 a.m. (Pacific), legendary Disney directors Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, the Princess and the Frog, Moana), in a live streamed Annecy Festival Master Class, will discuss their careers and views on the animation industry. Ron and John’s open ended, informal conversation will cover their development as animation writers/directors, their history at the Disney studio, their animated features, views on the current animation scene, as well as projections on the future of the industry. Following the session, there will be a Q&A moderated by ASIFA-Hollywood’s Executive Director, Frank Gladstone, welcoming questions from the Annecy festival audience.

“Creating an event for the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, one of our Annie Award festival partners, especially during this ‘online year’ was something we really wanted to do,” said Frank Gladstone. “The idea for a Ron & John presentation and Q & A came from our board members, Jeanette Bonds and Brooke Keesling, and with the prodigious help of our executive coordinator Leslie Ezeh and, of course, John Musker and Ron Clements, it’s going to happen!”

ASIFA-Hollywood is the world’s foremost professional organization dedicated to promoting the art of animation and celebrating the people who create it. Today, ASIFA-Hollywood, the largest chapter of the international organization ASIFA, supports a wide range of animation activities and preservation efforts through its membership. Current initiatives include the Animation Archive, Animation Aid Foundation, AEF, animated film preservation, special events, classes and screenings.
