Mark Henn Autographs
Mark Alan Henn (born April 6, 1958) is an American animator and film director. His work includes animated characters for Walt Disney Animation Studios films, most notably leading or titular characters and heroines. He served as the lead animator for Basil, Dr. David Q. Dawson, and Olivia in The Great Mouse Detective (1986), Oliver, Jenny, and Dodger in Oliver & Company (1988), Ariel in The Little Mermaid (1989), Bernard and Bianca in The Rescuers Down Under (1990), Belle in Beauty and the Beast (1991), Jasmine in Aladdin (1992), Young Simba in The Lion King (1994), the title character in Mulan (1998), Grace, Wesley, Rusty, and Pearl Gesner in Home on the Range (2004), Ronno in Bambi (2006), Tiana in The Princess and the Frog (2009), and Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin in Winnie the Pooh (2011). Since many of these characters are Disney Princesses, he came to be known as the "princess guy" around the studio. He directed the short films John Henry (2000) and D.I.Y. Duck (2024). Henn spent a total of 43 years at Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1980 until his retirement in 2023.
Henn grew up in Dayton, Ohio. At seven years old, Henn watched a reissue of Cinderella (1950) and decided to become an animator. He also viewed The Reluctant Dragon remembering a scene of "Ward Kimball drawing a scene of Goofy. He picked up all that paper, started flipping and everything kind of came to life. From then on, the animation bug beats hard for me."
In 1976, Henn graduated from Trotwood-Madison High School. He next attended Bowling Green State University and sent an animation portfolio to the Disney studios, but did not accept it though they recognized his potential. He then attended Sinclair Community College and sent a second portfolio, which was rejected. He sent a third portfolio a semester later, to which he received a rejection letter from Don Duckwall, the studio's production manager. Henn recalled, " sent a nice rejection letter back and he wrote a sentence that was burned into my memory saying that it wasn't that I wasn't a good artist, but they just didn't think I had what it took to travel the narrow roads that their animators travel."
