JIN KIM HAS A BLOG

The world is that much of a better place, today.

He's one of my favourite artists at Disney, possibly my very favourite, but I haven't been able to find any of his artwork in an art book or anything so I can't show anyone why. Until now! Enjoy! With any luck he'll have a load of stuff in the Rapunzel art book, but that's a long way off yet ...

No no, Jin Kim's been around for a while. I think he worked on Tarzan, definitely on Treasure Planet, and was animation supervisor on Avatar for the first season if memory serves. You're probably thinking of Hyun-Min Kim, who is so good she drives long-standing professionals to despair, or at least to calling her the next Milt Kahl. I think (I think) 'help' in this case was mostly getting it a lot of attention and into festivals, which got it some rather nice awards, and in turn got her an O-1 visa. There might have been some production assistance and ... technology and stuff ... I know she finished her film in the summer so it wasn't exclusively a school project.
