About the Brizzi Brothers

Celebrating 50 Years in Animation

From Paris to Hollywood

Twin brothers Paul and Gaetan Brizzi were born into an Italian family in 1951. Raised in Paris, they studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Decoratifs. They brought together their passions for Fine Art and Cinema when they decided to become Animation Directors.

Their career spans across decades and continents, the brothers having moved to Los Angeles in 1994 to work for the Walt Disney Feature Animation Studios, Dreamworks and Sony.
