Dan Lee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dan Lee (May 19, 1969- January 15, 2005) was a Canadian animator, best known as the creator of the title character from Finding Nemo.
He was born in Montreal, Quebec in 1969, the youngest of four children of Chinese immigrants and grew up in Scarborough, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto. He graduated from the animation program at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. He worked on television cartoons and commercials for several studios, including Kennedy Cartoons in Toronto and Colossal Pictures in San Francisco before joining Pixar in June 1996.
In August 2003 he was diagnosed with lung cancer despite the fact that he was a nonsmoker. He died in 2005, at the age of 35 in Alta Bates Summit Hospital, Berkeley, California, USA. He is not to be confused with Danny Lee, the big game hunter from New Jersey.
