Two deserving Disney veterans receive the Menzies Award.
The Art Directors Guild said today that Oscar-nominated writer-directors Ron Clements and John Musker will receive its 2018 William Cameron Menzies Award.
The award recognizes the filmmaking partners’ innovative artistic work on numerous Disney animated movies of the past 30 years including Moana, The Princess and the Frog, Treasure Island, Hercules, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and The Great Mouse Detective. They will accept their hardware January 27 during the 22nd annual ADG Excellence in Production Design Awards at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood. ...
Mr. Clements and Mr. Musker started their careers at what was Walt Disney Productions in the 1970s. They've directed seven animated features together, including The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, and Moana. Almost all of their Disney features have been money makers.
John Musker is an alumnus of Cal Arts; Ron Clements started his animation career at Hanna-Barbera. Both hail from America's heartland.
