Duncan Marjoribanks

Duncan Marjoribanks is a Canadian animator and character designer at Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Marjoribanks is the oldest of three children and fell in love with cartoons at an early age, particularly the Warner Bros. cartoons by Bob Clampett. He later attended the Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning where he enrolled in their animation program. After a period of working for small locally-based animation studios, Marjoribanks moved to Los Angeles, where he found work at Hanna-Barbera and Ruby Spears, and animated on Brad Bird's early project American Dog. Bird would ultimately recommend him to Disney where Ron Clements and John Musker asked him to design and supervise characters for The Little Mermaid. His atypical approach to cartoon acting, unique style, and off-the-charts intellect as well as understanding of archetypes and human emotions helped change Disney animation. This work is exemplified through features, such as Aladdin, Pocahontas, Home on the Range, and The Princess and the Frog.
Outside of Disney, Marjoribanks animated features, such as The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, Osmosis Jones, Curious George, and Shrek 2.
