S05E04: Kevin Lima — Obsessively Creating


Listen Later

Growing up with his grandmother in Rhode Island, Kevin
Lima doesn't remember a time when he didn't draw. That
passion for creativity led to puppetry and, eventually,
CalArts.

A successful career at Disney followed, working on Disney
Renaissance classics The Little Mermaid, Beauty
and the Beast and Aladdin, later transitioning
into directing a trio of cult favourites: A Goofy
Movie, Tarzan and the live-action/animation
hit Enchanted.

In our conversation, Kevin discusses his career
trajectory, his sources of inspiration, his passion for
storytelling, and the vital skill of knowing when a story
isn't working.
