With a lifetime achievement award in animation handed to him by Hollywood, Eric Goldberg is a veteran director, designer, animator, and voice-over artist who is widely regarded as one of the top animation talents of his generation. 

He began his association with Walt Disney Animation Studios on the popular feature “Aladdin,” supervising the animation of the wise-cracking Genie. He then co-directed “Pocahontas” and animated the feisty Danny DeVito-voiced satyr Phil in “Hercules”, followed by “Fantasia/2000,” for which he directed, wrote and animated two critically-acclaimed sequences: “Carnival of the Animals” and “Rhapsody in Blue.”  He was supervising animator for Louis, the trumpet-playing alligator in Disney’s hand-drawn animated feature “The Princess and the Frog,” assignment that won Eric his third Annie Award for best character animation.

Eric handled the legendary Bugs, Daffy, Elmer, Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam and the entire Warners stable, as well as providing the voices for Speedy Gonzales, Tweety and Marvin the Martian in Warner Bros.’ live action/animation feature “Looney Tunes: Back in Action”. 

Eric is equally at home with traditional hand-drawn animation and the most up-to-date computer animation, pioneering ground-breaking techniques in both worlds. In his latest work, Disney’s Vaiana, Eric oversaw the animation of Mini Maui, the mobile tattoo of Dwayne Johnson's larger-than-life character, Maui.
