Just completed assistant animation work for Disneyland Tokyo's new multimedia attraction "Once Upon a Dream" that opened in May 2014. The film is projected on the Cinderella Castle. Very cool! My character is the Fairy Godmother in the "Cinderella" sequence and appears at the 7 minute mark. Hope you enjoy seeing the Fairy Godmother speaking Japanese!!!
Just found out the Sebastian animation I worked on is part of Disney's new California Adventure attraction called "World of Color" that opened on June 11, 2010. My animation is at 4:25 of the show where Sebastian sings "Under the Sea." Hope you enjoy!
Here's the link to a 2010 TV commerical I worked on for a Disney Water Parks. The characters I drew were Mickey Mouse carrying a surfboard and Captain Hook in a striped bathing suit.

DISNEY ANIMATION TRAINING PROGRAM
After studying life drawing and animation at the American Animation Institute, I was accepted into the Walt Disney Animation Training Program. This was a tremendous opportunity and opened the door to realizing my dream of becoming a Disney Animation Artist.
"Hercules" was the first animated film I worked on and an unforgetable experience to say the least! Pegasus the flying horse was my main character -- but I also worked on Hercules and Meg. Click on the link below to see all three characters.
Here's Michael's drawing of Captain Hook and Peter Pan.
"THE PRINCE OF EGYPT" (DreamWorks)
It was a real honor to work on this film -- DreamWorks first animated feature. My character was Moses sister, Miriam -- but I also worked on Moses and Aaron. Believe it or not, I appeared as an animated character in the movie. One of the animators needed to film some reference footage of a girl weaving on a loom. Not only did he film me, but he drew the character of the girl to look like me. In the scene where Moses and Zipporah are are discussing his returning to Egypt, there's a girl between them in the background weaving on a loom. That's me!
"El Dorado" was DreamWorks' second animated feature, and marked the second time I was assigned to an animated horse character. His name is Altivo and he's Miguel and Tulio's horse.
I know what you're thinking. This is a horse movie, so Ramya worked on the horses. Right? Well, yes and no. I did work some on Spirit, but I was assigned to the Cavalry Soldier Unit. You'll see them in the trailor. Especially, the lead Cavalry Soldier with the Mustache who's in the climactic final scene with Spirit.
Disney legend Eric Goldberg was the director on this short film. It was the first film I worked as a Key Animation Artist. My characters were the monkey's of course: Doofus, Clever and Tag-a-long.
My character in the film was the evil Queen Narissa. This was the first Disney villain I had the opportunity to work on. Watch her being drawn in the film clip below.
"KUNG FU PANDA: SECRETS OF THE FURIOUS FIVE" (DreamWorks)
"Furious Five" was a lot of fun to work on. What started out as additional DVD material became its own DVD film. I worked on several characters, but mainly on Young Monkey. This is a great film for kids!
