Zac Moncrief

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zac Moncrief left Montvale, New Jersey, in 1989 to go to California Institute of the Arts, a Disney-funded college specializing in animation. He then gained an internship on an animated feature, The Pagemaster, and moved on as an assistant animator on the film Cats Don't Dance. While there, he sold a pilot to Fred Seibert (then president of MTV Networks and Hanna-Barbera), for the What-A-Cartoon! series titled "Godfrey and Zeek". This transitioned into doing story work for Hanna-Barbera's other series, Johnny Bravo.

Zac went on to open his own company, creating animation on several CD-ROMs, as well as a commercial work featuring Warner Bros.' "The Road-Runner", The Carl's Jr. spot featuring Dennis Rodman as well as Animation for A GM sponsored ride at Walt Disney World. Soon after, Mr. Seibert came calling again with a new series on Nickelodeon called Oh Yeah! Cartoons. There, Zac created the shorts Kitty the Hapless Cat, Baxter and Bananas, and also worked on other shorts such as The Fairly OddParents and the Emmy winning short "Max and His Special Problem".

Shortly thereafter, he was asked to teach at his Alma Mater (CalArts) and by Walt Disney Television Animation to storyboard on Teacher's Pet, the series (and its theatrical release) as well as the hit series/"Direct to Videos" for Lilo & Stitch, Kim Possible and the network's latest hit Brandy and Mr. Whiskers.

He left Disney to become an Director on the hit series Family Guy for Fox Animation Studios. He no longer teaches at CalArts and has returned to Disney bringing his Directing and Story skills to Dan Povenmire's new Disney animated series Phineas and Ferb.

Moncrief attended Pascack Hills High School in Montvale, New Jersey.^[1] [1]
