DON DUGA - Legendary Rankin / Bass Animation Artist



Don Duga has been at the forefront of American Animation for more
than 40 years, having worked with some of the most prestigious
Animation Studios in the world. He is a versatile animator, director
and producer. His work includes but, is not limited to, UPA and
RANKIN/BASS STUDIOS to commercials, SESAME STREET and feature films.
Don has storyboarded such classic characters as Mr. Magoo and
Underdog, and has worked on animated features such as " THE LAST
UNICORN," "MAD MONSTER PARTY," and "DAY DREAMER." The journey for
Don began in 1958, when he studied with mentor, Don Graham, at
California's Chouinard Art Institute. After finishing school, Don
took his talents to UPA Studios, but it was his time with
Rankin/Bass Studios where Don took part in projects like "Rudolph
the red-nosed Reindeer," "The Year without a Santa Claus," "Mad
Monster Party," "The Little Drummer Boy," and of course "Frosty the
Snowman." As a Storyboard artist at Rankin/Bass Studios, Don
specialized in laying out the essential frame work for the various
film projects. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s Don worked animating
Commercials for various national companies. A relationship with
Hostess Foods proved to be a large success for Don where he designed
and brought to life such memorable characters as Twinkie the Kid,
Captain Cupcake, King Ding Dong, and Fruit Pie the Magician. Duga's
own animation company, POLESTAR, won numerous awards, including the
prestigious CARNEGIE MEDAL for Best Children's film of the year and
the ASIFA EAST AWARD for his work on "OWEN," which was narrated by
Sarah Jessica Parker.
