(I'm a few days late on this.)

Artistic contributions include Hercules, Hunchback, Fantasia 2000, BatB, TLK, Pagemaster, Atlantis, The Princess and the Frog, The Emperor's New Groove, and early development work for Aladdin.

I found this on her site, talking about her work on Fantasia and thought it was kind of funny:

Quote:
[Fantasia 2000] was one of those films that had a ton of ideas come and go. I think it was Michael Eisner who thought of a scene where all Disney couples march to "Pomp and Circumstance" and instead of receiving a graduation diploma a stork brings them a baby - thusly carrying on the next generation of Disney heroes. I did one of the mannnnnny versions of this song. I, however, boarded the part of Jasmine and Aladdin receiving their child as an ode to Fanny Brice. Ever watch "Funny Girl"? You know what I'm talking about? My sketch had the baby looking a bit too blue to be Aladdin's. It was done as a joke - never to be put to screen. (I also did a serious version to be nice.) Producer Don Ernst framed the panel and had it hanging in his office for years.


Under "Mulan," she also mentions this:

Quote:
We use to have long, drawn out meetings over how large Jasmine's nose should be in "Aladdin".

I like the screencap from KOT with the caption "this is not from Fantasia 2000" paired with the story Laughing

But that's depressing. There's so few women in the industry to begin with Sad

That screencap is defenitly my favorite Gensmine scene Laughing
Also I wonder what "My sketch had the baby looking a bit too blue to be Aladdin's." implies?

He either had it with Eden or a member of his fandom (sorry if I offend anyone)
Could also be his ex that was in one of the comics

Also for context I thought she meant that it was Genie in disguise and I was about to comment how Genie could kind of already be the adopted child of Al and Jasmine Laughing
