An Inside Look Into The Don Hahn Movies and The Producer Himself

Posted on Sun, 02/26/2012 - 06:00

On Saturday February 25 at 10:00AM, select Members were able to meet and spend time with Academy Award®-nominated producer and author Don Hahn, in the Diane Disney Miller Exhibition Hall at The Walt Disney Family Museum.

Don Hahn’s Movies: The Most Iconic

Don produced the classic Beauty and the Beast, the first animated film nominated for a Best Picture Oscar® from the Academy of Motion Picture of Arts and Sciences. His next film, The Lion King, broke box office records to become the top-grossing traditionally-animated film of all time, and a blockbuster Broadway musical. Don also served as associate producer of the landmark film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

His other credits include The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Disney Nature films EarthOceansAfrican Cats, and Chimpanzees; and the short The Little Matchgirl—which earned Hahn his second Oscar Nomination. He is currently the Executive Producer of Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie, a stop motion animated feature due out in 2012. His latest book, Brain Storm: Unleashing Your Creative Self is out in bookstores—and was included in the ticket price of this special Member Event.

Don’s Enjoyable Personality

While enjoying a fresh cup of coffee and mingling with other Members, guests were able to enjoy Don's bright personality and conversation—and even get their photo taken while Don signed their copies of his book.

This was the second special signing event for Museum Members only (Sam Gennawey and Jeff Kurtti met Members and signed books in January), and departing Members were pleased and beaming, thanks to Don's charm and generosity.

Don, along with Jeff McCall and family, demonstrate the general mood of the event.
