About Bert Klein - His passion and talent were such that he managed to become a working professional in the cartoon industry while still in high school. At the time, he was a student in Rowland Heights High School’s animation program, he was also working at Film Roman, juggling textbooks with pencils and animation paper. His career progressed rapidly from there … After high school, Mr. Klein leaped full-time into the animation business. (Attending Cal Arts was an option, but the pay was much better working as a layout artist on the t.v. cartoon The Critic.) Television, however, was only his first stop. Disney soon came calling, and Bert found himself working on The Lion King and the string of Disney animated features that followed. Bert Klein | Animation Guild
