Larry Smith comes from a family of animators. Mr. Bill Hanna, of Hanna-Barbera, and Larry’s father, Jerry Smith, were good friends and colleagues. Mr. Hanna asked Larry’s father to establish animation studios overseas to reduce his costs, starting with Australia. At the age of 17, Larry joined him in Taiwan, teaching animation production and had the unique opportunity to learn all aspects of the animation process from the “old-timers” who came over to teach other areas of production.  Larry has been a professional animator for over four decades.  His credits include Space Jam and nearly three decades of work on The Simpsons, among many others.  Myoung Smith while trained as an artist quickly moved up to General Manager of a studio with over 200 artists. She was in charge of the quality of all the Warner Bros. theatrical productions including “The Iron Giant.” Myoung is currently at Disney TV where she works with the Directors and Storyboard artists to improve the quality of their productions. Larry and Myong have been married 42 years, have two children and 4 grandchildren. Together, they spent over 13 years working in Asia establishing animation studios in Taiwan, South Korea, China and The Philippines. Over 20,000 people are producing American animation in these countries due to the efforts of the Smith family.
