The beloved animation veteran was best known for directing, with Rob Minkoff, the original 1994 Disney animated milestone The Lion King. His additional credits include directing Open Season, with Jill Culton, and The Prophet, head of story on Beauty and the Beast, storyboard artist on The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, and providing pre-production concept on Tron.
Still no word on a release date, though.
