About the Author
Tracey Miller-Zarneke has long been fascinated with the world of animation, way beyond her credited roles on Meet the Robinsons, Chicken Little, and The Emperor’s New Groove. She has authored fourteen books on the art of animation across five studios, including the quartet of DreamWorks’ Kung Fu Panda films. Tracey has also written animation textbooks, a history book, and most recently, the Disney 100 Edition of The Disney Book. James Hong is one of the most prolific actors in Hollywood history, having amassed nearly 700 credits. From the iconic films Blade Runner and Chinatown, to the multiple Academy Award–winning Everything Everywhere All At Once, Hong has left an indelible mark on cinema. The versatile actor is beloved for his voice work in animated features that include the Kung Fu Panda franchise and Mulan, as well as his on-screen work in classic television shows such as Seinfeld and The West Wing, to name a few. In addition to his many roles, he is one of the co-founders of the Los Angeles–based East West Players, a historic theater organization that nurtures the talents of new generations of Asian American actors.
