Design by committee is rarely a good idea — unless you’re making an animated Disney movie.
Tacoma-based animator Benson Shum is one of hundreds of talented people who have spent the past year creating what will probably be Disney’s next big hit: “Big Hero 6.” The movie opens Friday (Nov. 7) nationwide.
Vancouver, B.C., born and raised, the 35-year-old Shum splits his time working at the Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, California, and in Tacoma with partner Justin Leighton.
Shum’s résumé includes Terrence Malick’s “Tree of Life,” Warner Bros.’ “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” Sony’s “The Smurfs,” “Hotel Transylvania” and Disney’s “Wreck-it Ralph” and “Frozen.”
