“For Aladdin, the look of the film was roughly inspired by the great cartoonist and caricature artist, Al Hirschfeld. Therefore, the directors wanted a very smooth and flowing line for all the characters.

“While designing the character of Rajah, I initially struggled with turning the stylized linework that was essential to the film into a believable tiger character. Then one day I was walking down the street in Orlando (I was working at the Florida studio at the time) and I saw the hood ornament on a Jaguar automobile. The flowing shape of the sculpture caught my eye. Immediately a ‘light bulb’ went off in my head. I rushed back to my animation desk and having been freshly inspired by the hood ornament, I had my tiger character down on paper very quickly. It was that design that ended up in the final film.”

Affinity series

Santa Fe-based photographer Brad Wilson captures portraits of animals isolating each bird, mammal, or reptile against a deep black backdrop. The images are part of the ongoing Affinity series that explores human’s relationship with animals, both positive and negative, while highlighting the fragility of each subject with the aid of soft studio lighting
