The animation teams between these two Disney classics gave each other some motivational competition.
The Lion King is Disney nobility — all pun intended. The animated film is one of the most beloved, celebrated, and successful movies Disney has ever produced, becoming one of highest grossing animated films at the time of its release. Its critical acclaim was as notable as its commercial success, taking home two Academy Awards in the process.
Who Was on Each Animation Team? Ultimately, both animation teams were full of incredible creatives and some of the most talented artists in the world. However, the depth of experience seemed to skew in favor of Pocahontas over The Lion King. Pocahontas was directed by Mike Gabriel, who had previously directed Rescuers Down Under, and Eric Goldberg, who had just animated the Genie in Aladdin.
There were some hints of bias in favor of Pocahontas over The Lion King, notably stemming from Katzenberg's non-discreet belief that Pocahontas would be a guaranteed hit, while The Lion King was a much riskier endeavor.
