empire it’s fair to say Seth MacFarlane is one of the most famous

1999, American Dad!,. Despite gaining a massive following,
Family Guy was cancelled after season 3. This was overturned a
few years later when the show came back on the air along with a
newer show in Seth’s animation style: American Dad! and the
opportunity to direct feature films like Ted and A Million Ways to
Die in the West. Just developing one show is a massive
undertaking. Having the chance to work with, develop, and
influence the animation styles of 3 primetime shows is just plain
incredible.

11. ERIC GOLDBERG
Eric Allen Goldberg is a supervising animator, writer, director,
and storyboard artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios . One of
the lesser-known yet still wildly popular Disney animators. It
seems like an oxymoron to say he’s not well known, yet also
popular. But Goldberg is featured in a lot of behind-the-scenes
clips along with some featured interviews discussing how he
animates. His work for Disney has changed a lot over his career
as the company moved away from 2D films to focus solely on 3D.
But the fundamentals of animation always remain the same.
That’s the beauty of Goldberg’s work. He is most notable for
animating characters such as Genie, Phil, and Louis the alligator.
He was recently the supervising animator for Rabbit in
the 2011 Winnie the Pooh film. He is also one of the directors of
the 1995 Disney film Pocahontas (along with Mike Gabriel).
