Mike Cedeno

Cedeno started at Disney Feature Animation when he was 18 years old and worked there for 31 years. He's done animation, story, character design and was the character lead on more movies than the Genie could count. It has been said that if Mike Cedeno was actually recognized for the animated characters he's designed and animated and he and Tom Hanks were walking down the street, people would point and wonder, "Hey, who's that guy over there walking with Mike?" His brilliant line work, animation and designs have graced the screen from "The Fox and the Hound" to "Tangled" and everything in between. Mike teaches at prestigious institutions, designs characters for projects and paints landscapes with his friends when he can. He lives with his wife, Kate - another former Disney artist, in the scenic foothills of Southern California.
