Smith directed and Animated many of my favourite animated productions including the Emperors' New Groove, the Princess and the Frog and animated scenes within the movie Space Jam.
The movie the Emperors New Groove has a story that revolves around a selfish prince that gets turned into a llama, learns to not be selfish and then becomes a beloved prince by his people. The style of the animation used modern day frame by frame 2D hand drawn animation, This animation is my favourite animation to watch as I find it aesthetically appealing.
