Walt Disney Animation Studios has announced the appointment of Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jared Bush as its new chief creative officer, effective immediately. Bush, recognized for his contributions to hit films such as “Encanto,” “Zootopia,” and as a writer for the Oscar-nominated “Moana,” succeeds Jennifer Lee, who will shift her focus back to directing, specifically for the “Frozen” franchise.
Jennifer Lee, who has been with Disney since 2011 and served as CCO since 2018, will concentrate on directing “Frozen 3” and co-writing “Frozen 4” with Marc Smith.
With more than a decade at Disney, Bush will oversee the studio’s creative endeavors, including films, series, and associated projects. He is currently working on “Zootopia 2” and serves as the writer and executive producer for the upcoming “Moana 2,” set for release in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
