Hello gain!

>>He became known to the Disney fans from his contribution to the film "Fantasia 2000"

Actually, Eric Goldberg, who directed the "Flamingo" sequence in Fantasia 2000,
had already "found the inspiration for the Genie's design in the strongly silhouetted shapes drawn
by the theattrical caricaturist Al Hirschfeld". "Then [Production Designer] Richard Vander
Wende and [Art Director] Bill Perkins pointed out the connections between Hirschfeld
and the S-curves of Arabic Calligraphy and Persian miniatures that would unify the characters
and backgrounds in 'Aladdin' "

("Disney's 'Aladdin': The Making of a Animated Film", 1992, p, 24)
