Rob Minkoff is the director responsible for bringing the two highest-grossing family films of all time to the screen.
Beginning his career with the Walt Disney Company, he directed 'The Lion King', which grossed more than $768 million worldwide and became the highest grossing animated film Disney ever made. He then merged live action and computer generated images (CGI) for Columbia Pictures’ 'Stuart Little' which earned over $300 million worldwide and went on to become one of the most successful non-Disney animated family films ever made.
Born and raised in Palo Alto, California, Minkoff attended Cal-Arts Character Animation Programme before joining Disney as an animator. While at Disney, Minkoff developed story, characters and animation for the now classic 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Beauty and the Beast'. His directorial acclaim began with the action packed 'Roger Rabbit' shorts.
