Don Hahn Biography

Don Hahn, a senior Disney employee who managed the creation of two classic animated films, Beauty and the Beast (1991) and The Lion King (1994), was a key figure in the 1990s Hollywood animation revival (1994). With effusive reviews and over $145 million in box office sales, the former awakened the industry to both the business and aesthetic possibilities of the medium. Beauty and the Beast was also the first animated film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. The Lion King, although being only moderately less well-received, was a commercial triumph, collecting roughly $340 million in the United States, making it not only Disney's biggest blockbuster but also the sixth highest-grossing box-office champ (as of 1996). Hahn has established himself as Disney's ace animated movie producer, intimately involved in every area of his films, from screenplay to music to color to acting.
