CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY ANIMATION PROGRAM, WHERE YOUNG ANIMATORS ARE MENTORED BY THE PRO’S IN THE FIELD
At Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, animation students don’t just learn from textbooks and lectures. They have the unique opportunity to be mentored by animation giants—industry veterans who have left an indelible mark on the world of animation. Lauren Faust, Emmy winner and creative force behind beloved shows like “My Little Pony” and “Powerpuff Girls,” is one such mentor. But she’s not alone. John Musker, two-time Oscar nominee for films like “Moana” and “The Little Mermaid,” and Brenda Chapman, the Oscar-winning director of “Brave” and “The Prince of Egypt,” also lend their expertise to Chapman’s Animation and Visual Effects (AVE) program.
