The Genius of Hans Bacher




Hans Bacher knows what he is talking about. He is an avid student and admirer of classic animation as well as modern art. Hans knows color like nobody's business. He is an expert at composition, staging and mood. His work on Mulan elevated that film into one of the two most beautiful Disney films from the modern era. (The other one being Aladdin. Richard Vander Wende was responsible for the look of that film.)
Here are a few pages from Hans' Mulan style guide. Extraordinary!

  3. Just received his artbook Dream Worlds for not so long ago; however, I just lost interest in him at the Beauty and the Beast chapter when he writes about learning to curse in German. I disgust curse words!
