DiCaprio’s 5 Best, Animator from Ottawa, Casting Call for Kids

With Zootopia being the next biggest animated movie, Richard Crouse of metronews.ca talks to an Ottawa native animator who worked in California on the film. Having worked before on Frozen and Big Hero 6, Trent Correy is now channeling his artistic talents into creating Moana, a mythological epic animation.  Correy got off to a doubtful start, failing art class in high school because he was more into drawing cartoons than studying the ancient history of art. After rediscovering his interests in art, he joined the Disney animation team, where he enjoys making characters come to life.
