Movies

He launched his career when he co-directed ‘The Lion King,’ a Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film, alongside Roger Allers (1994). It became the highest-grossing animated film at the time after grossing nearly $763 million. In addition to its four Academy Award nominations, ‘The Lion King’ won two of them for Tim Rice’s song ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ and Michael Zimmer’s original score.

After the huge success of ‘The Lion King,’ Minkoff directed his first live-action film, which starred Hugh Laurie, Nathan Lane, Jonathan Lipnicki, Jennifer Tilly, and Geena Davis, among others. The movie was titled ‘Stuart Little’ and was released in 1999. Part of it was based on a 1945 White novel of the same name. In 2000, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, but lost to ‘The Matrix’.

In addition to “Star Little 2,” Minkoff directed “The Haunted Mansion” in 2003, a horror-comedy based on Disney’s theme park experience. Besides Thomason, Murphy, and Parker, Terence Stamp also starred in the movie.

Directed by Minkoff, ‘The Forbidden Kingdom’ came out in 2008. It starred Jackie Chan and Jet Li. This film was inspired by ‘Journey to the West,’ a 16th-century novel.

Minkoff followed up ‘Fly Paper’ with another crime comedy featuring Patrick Dempsey and Ashley Judd aimed at adults. Only one theater screened the film, which received widespread criticism.

Following the failure of ‘Fly Paper,’ Minkoff returned to animation.

The DreamWorks Animation film Mr. Peabody & Sherman was released in 2014.

The picture featured a cast that includes Max Charles, Try Burrell, Stephen Cobert, and Leslie Mann, among others.

Minkoff has also begun directing the Netflix original animated series ‘Llama Llama.’ It is based upon the late author Anna Dewdney’s picture book series. He also produced the computer-animated cartoon Rainbow Rangers for Nick Jr.

Minkoff and Koetseir teamed up once again for the 2024 animated picture ‘Blazing Samurai,’ which was inspired by the 1974 Mel Brooks western ‘Blazing Saddles.’ The cartoon once again involved Michael Cera, Samuel L. Jackson, George Takei, and Rick Gervais.
