Week-2 Bruce W. Smith(Research) CJ Cook

 The animation artist I've decided to research about is Bruce W. Smith. He's film character, director and television as well. Mr. Smith is best known as the creator and executive producer of "The Proud Family". Mr. Smith also supervised the animation of the evil villain Dr. Facilier in the Walt Disney animated film "The Princess and the Frog". Before he went to Disney channel, he directed the paramount pictures film " Bebe's Kids" and he also co-directed on the warner bros live action/animated move, "Space Jam"(1996) before returning to Disney to supervise animation on "Tarzan"(1999) and "The Emperor's New Groove"(2000).  Most of his best work comes from dealing with African Americans families, but arguably his best works were "The Proud Family". The proud Family was about him and his family when they lived in the urban community. In my personal opinion, I feel like the reason his work is so good is because of he's able to make it relate to his fans and make it very interesting. My favorite work from his so far is The proud family, because growing up I've always wanted a family where I had a lot of siblings, but since I didn't I was able to use my nephews and niece for replacement.
