Zootropolis 2 wins the BAFTA for Animated Film💫 #EEBAFTAs

Zootopia 2 took hundreds of artists, TDs, and engineers to make; I was lucky enough to be a small part of it all! Here are some of my personal thoughts/notes from working on Zootopia 2, along with some pretty pictures. blog.yiningkarlli.com/2025/12/zootop…

Jared Bush on ZOOTOPIA 2 surpassing $1 billion at the global box office. “This milestone means the world to us, because more than anything, it means audiences are coming to theaters for a shared experience of watching this movie on the big screen, everyone together, from all walks of life around the world — and that is a Zootopia dream come true.”

Zootopia will be changed furrrever... Get ready for #Zootopia2, only in theaters November 26!

The first Moana was my first credit at Disney Animation, so working on Moana 2 was a cool opportunity to revisit/reflect over how much I've learned and worked on over the past decade. Here's a short blog post with some thoughts from working on Moana 2: blog.yiningkarlli.com/2024/12/moana-…

THIS is why #Moana2 needs to be seen on the biggest screen you can find. November 27th, get ready to go… Beyond. ❤️🪝🐚🌊🐓🐷 @DisneyAnimation @DisneyStudios

‘It’s actually what an illustrator would’ve done’ --> The new tools that @DisneyAnimation built to give ‘Wish’ an old-school feel. A new in-depth look at @beforesmag with VFX supervisor Kyle Odermatt, recorded at @ViewConference beforesandafters.com/2023/11/22/its…

#Wish is a soaring tribute to all of the Disney’s achievements and advancements in visual storytelling. The film pushes the boundaries in blending traditionally hand-drawn and CG animation. Its emotionally nuanced story radiates & the seven songs are destined to be classics! Wow!

Combining next gen technology with timeless storytelling, #Wish looks like nothing you’ve seen before and feels exactly like your favorite Disney animated feature — whatever it is. A celebration of hope, community and self actualization and 100 years of Disney magic. Loved it⭐️

Crew screening of Wish last night, first chance to see the finished film. So many talented people from every craft, discipline, and dept brought their A-game to create something special to honor 100 years of Disney animation. See it how it was designed to be seen, in a theater.

Celebrate 10 decades of storytelling, artistry and technological achievements with “Once Upon a Studio,” Disney’s all-new short film, now streaming on @DisneyPlus! #Disney100

Excited for the world to see this special celebration of 100 years of Disney Animation. An honor and a privilege to be a part of it.

As part of the Multiplane Camera process, glass plates were painted by the Background Department and used to add depth and dimension to our worlds. Most plates were washed off, repainted, and reused at the time. 🎨 Watch Sleeping Beauty on Disney Plus. ✨ Join us as we look at the artistry, technology, and people that have shaped #100YearsofDisneyAnimation.
