Nancy Beiman

Nancy Beiman is a director, character designer, teacher, and animator. She is recognized as the second woman to be credited on a Disney film (although there were many women before her work on Disney film). She has taught animation at Savannah College of Art and Design, and taught at Rochester Institute of Technology, School of Film & Animation until 2008. She now teaches at Sheridan Institute's Animation department in Canada.

Upon graduating from high school, she was offered a scholarship to be part of the inaugural class of the Character Animation program at CalArts. Her classmates included the likes John Lasseter, Jerry Rees, John Musker, Tim Burton, and Brad Bird. After CalArts, unlike many of her classmates, she was not offered a job at Disney because, as she stated, of "the very conservative policies in place at Disney's at the time"[1]. She went to New York to work at Jack Zander's Animation Parlour.
