James "Shamus" Culhane, a renowned animator, held the unique distinction of working on all four of Walt Disney's initial feature-length animated films. With a career spanning an impressive six decades, he collaborated with an astonishing 18 different cartoon studios, including his own independent venture.
During the mid-1990s, Culhane's early expertise in traditional hand-drawn animation merged seamlessly with cutting-edge computer-generated imagery for Disney's iconic films, such as Aladdin, released in 1992, The Lion King, which premiered in 1994, and Pocahontas, which captivated audiences in 1995.
