FRANK NISSEN

My first published work was a mimeograph comic strip. I’ve always loved telling stories though art. I count my blessings every day that I was able to hitch my wagon to that star.

​

I honed my craft for twenty- five years in Canada at various animation studios. Then I spent fifteen years at the Walt Disney Studios. There I did story work on features such as Tarzan and Treasure Planet and directed Pooh’s Heffalump Movie and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.
