Richard Rich (director)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Rich (a.k.a "Richie Rich") is an American animated film director, producer and assistant director.

He started at the Walt Disney Studio in the late 1970's after founder Walt Disney had died, working with his successor as chief animator, Don Bluth. The only two films he directed at Disney were The Fox and the Hound and The Black Cauldron.

After 1985, he left Disney to found his own studio, Rich Animation Studios (later known as RichCrest Animation Studios), and directed a series of upbeat, inspiring Bible stories. His most widely distributed film is The Swan Princess, a musical based on the story of Swan Lake, with a score by Lex de Azevedo.
