James Baxter Animation Reel

Note: Found out 1:05-1:10 is actually animated by Kristof Serrand.

A compilation of animation by James Baxter I made for my blog post about him: https://hobbessakuga.wordpress.com/20...

The song is Emile Pandolfi’s cover of Beauty and the Beast.

Baxter is a British animator who worked for Disney in the 90s and currently works at DreamWorks.

Baxter was the supervising animator for these characters in the video:
Beast
Belle
Rafiki
Quasimodo
Giselle
Prince Edward & his horse
Spirit
Moses
All the animation in the Kung Fu Panda opening
Everything in the pencil test animations
James Baxter the Horse

I’m pretty sure that Baxter animated all of these cuts but it’s possible that I’ve made mistakes. If anyone has info about other animators doing shots in the video, please tell me so I can credit them.
