He directed &#8220;Brother Bear&#8221; and is now working on a computer-animated film about Elves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">He is a gifted Artist and what is so ironic is I went to California and while I was out there I taught Aaron and my grandchildren how to work with Polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It was so enjoyable to teach him something he didn&#8217;t know about and I have to thank you for the guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I guess I have been long winded with this letter but I wanted to share this with you. Keep up the good work and keep in touch. Have a peaceful and wonderful Easter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sincerely,<br \/>\nChristine Maher<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">How cool is that! Christine is not only excited about learning more about polymer clay, but she is also sharing what she has learned with her grandchildren and her Disney Animation Director son, Aaron Blaise!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Wow, Christine! I Googled Aaron and found this <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/films\/2003\/12\/02\/aaron_blaise_brother_bear_interview.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">informative Disney interview article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> done by Anwar Brett of the BBC. You must be very proud of him!<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Beginning his Disney career with Roller Coaster Rabbit and The Rescuers Down Under, Blaise became a supervising animator on such films as Beauty &amp; The Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King and Mulan. Brother Bear marks his debut as director.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I can see how it would be enjoyable to teach your son some tricks with polymer clay that he didn&#8217;t know about.
