Biography

Jim Kammerud is a multifaceted American creative professional, with expertise in film direction, screenwriting, and animation. His academic background is rooted at Ohio State University, where he honed his cartooning skills as a student journalist for the esteemed student newspaper, "The Lantern".

Upon graduation, Kammerud collaborated with his college friend Jeff Smith to establish their own animation studio, "Character Builders". Kammerud's early career was marked by his work as an animator and storyboard artist on projects such as "Rover Dangerfield" (1991) and "Space Jam" (1996).

Kammerud's talent and dedication eventually caught the attention of Disney, which led to his hiring as a sequence director for "Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World" (1998). He subsequently rose through the ranks to become a director for a series of sequels to beloved Disney classics.

As one of two co-directors, Kammerud worked on the films "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea" (2000) and "101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure" (2003). His solo directorial debut was the film "The Fox and the Hound 2". Although he began work on another sequel, "The Aristocats II", the project ultimately stalled in development hell.

Following his departure from Disney, Kammerud joined the animation studio "House of Cool", which provides storyboards and additional animation services to various film projects. As a storyboard artist, Kammerud has contributed to films such as "Gnomeo & Juliet" (2011) and "Ice Age: Continental Drift" (2012).
