One of my student Antoine Cunningham showcases his amazing talent in character animation. He worked on all time favorite Disney movies such as Tarzan, Mulan and many more. Check it out!

Disney Is Producing New Mickey Mouse Shorts
Disney producing new Mickey Mouse shorts! Check out the post on Cartoon Brew for more information.
Looks beautiful and CLASSIC! Reminds me of the Golden Ages of Disney animation 🙂
Disney Face Swaps
This is funny. Check out the face swaps for Disney characters and pick your favourite. lol 😀

JoeBowers Interview
Joe Bowers an animator at Disney goes over some of his shots in this interview.
Disney Research wants to build more realistic replica human faces
So this seems like an interesting article on creating realistic and physical face replica or clones!
Soft Tissue Deformation
Techniques and methodology used in character deformation “Soft Tissue” from Disney! Think of The Algorithm that went in to solving this simulation!
Walt Disney Papers
More papers and publication from Walt Disney! More Cool Stuffs. Check them all out, really wonderful and useful resource materials for all artist alike 🙂
Walt Disney’s ElasticSkin
Walt Disney’s ElasticSkin presented on Siggraph 2011. Cool stufff! Check it out 🙂

We present a new algorithm for near-interactive simulation of skeleton driven, high resolution elasticity models. Our methodology is used for soft tissue deformation in character animation. The algorithm targets performance through parallelism using a fully vectorized and branch-free SVD algorithm as well as a stable one-point quadrature scheme on a hexahedral grid.
Here’s a video-demonstration

And some tech notes!
