Eric Walls has had a career in animation for over 30 years, with an extensive and versatile background in both traditional hand-drawn and CG animation for animated and live-action films, as well as theme park attractions. His animation has been featured in many projects for Disney, DreamWorks, and Warner Brothers, including *The Lion King*, *The Prince of Egypt*, *Meet the Robinsons*, *Bolt*, *The Princess and the Frog*, and the Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi theme park.

Eric’s work spans character animation, effects, illustration, digital cut-out animation, and a substantial list of previsualization projects. He has also had the privilege of mentoring new artists, including training several now in prominent roles through Disney Animation’s prestigious Apprenticeship Program.

Eric’s goal is to help students become clear communicators through their art, while building on their skills to achieve their career goals.
