Emmy Award-winner Ken Bruce has a storied career in animation across a variety of roles and projects, such as an animation timer for shows like Family Guy and a sequence director for The Fairly OddParents, to a storyboard artist for films like Shrek, Up, and Toy Story 3. He now brings his adoration of the classic Disneyland attraction The Enchanted Tiki Room to spectacular light via his incredible new book: Before the Birds Sang Words. It's a master-class book that disentangles the show's history, including all of the elements that led to its creation. Ken shares how he invested years of effort and love into this passion project, one of the richest examinations of any singular Disney theme park attraction to date via book form.
You can pick up a copy of Before the Birds Sang Words on Amazon.
