Uli Meyer

Uli moved to London from his native Germany in 1986, upon the invitation of legendary animation director Richard Williams who recognized his talent and sent him to train with another animation legend - Disney veteran Art Babbit in Los Angeles. Today Uli is recognized as one of the world's leading character animators, whose work ranges from the seminal 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' to helping to set up Amblimation (later to become Dream Works Animation) and 'American Tail 2'. Through his own studio Uli has worked on a number of major animated features including 'Space Jam', 'The Lion King - The Circle of Life' and 'Lost in Space' and more recently 'King Arthur', 'Aladdin' and 'Mary Poppins Returns'. He has directed and produced over 750 commercials. Uli has just completed overseeing the work on Warner Bros' upcoming live action/ animation hybrid 'Tom & Jerry' movie. As a life-long fan of Ronald Searle Uli has been working on bringing 'Molesworth' to life as an animated character for some years with the full blessing of Ronald Searle himself, who Uli met in 2008, and the Geoffrey Willans Estate.
