S05E06: Ron Clements — Veteran Insight


Listen Later

Ron Clements's animation career began while he was still
in high school and working part-time at the local
television station in Sioux City, Iowa. An ill-fated trip
to New York changed his career, leading a young Ron to Los
Angeles and a job at Hanna-Barbera before landing his
dream job: Disney.

In this conversation, Ron talks about his early passion for
drawing and experimentation with film, the highs and lows
of his career; from being at the forefront of the "Disney
Renaissance" with the release of The Little Mermaid
to the disappointment of Treasure Planet, and the
shift to CG animation.
