Donovan Cook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Donovan Cook is an American animator and cartoonist, and probably most well-known for the animated television series 2 Stupid Dogs and Nightmare Ned, both of which he created.
Donovan Cook graduated from the California Institute of the Arts sometime around the late 1980s or early 1990s and has worked on several different Disney animated movies, such as The Little Mermaid and the Mickey Mouse adaptation of The Prince and the Pauper. In 1992 he created 2 Stupid Dogs for Hanna-Barbera Studios, which was significant in bringing back the extremely simplistic style Hanna-Barbera cartoons had in the 1950s and 60s and that has been emulated and copied numerous times since. Donovan also served as assistant director on a few episodes of The Ren and Stimpy Show in 1992 and directed three episodes of Duckman in 1996.
Donovan is currently filming the full-length animated feature film Space Chimps, which he is co-directing. The film is due for release in May of 2008.
