Sheridan College is a prestigious school with a high number of grads going on to work at Disney and Dreamworks. “They had a program designed for people like him, who already have a degree and a strong portfolio,” said Betty.

“That’s Chris. He can keep people laughing. Disney is the perfect place for him.” – Betty Williams supervisor. “He’s had his fingerprints on every Disney movie since The Lion King,” said Betty. Chris’s win with codirector Don Hall has certainly elevated his name in the film industry, but he’d already gained notoriety for his voice acting skills, if only through his character’s name. Chris wrote and voiced the part of Oaken in Disney’s Frozen, whose ‘Yoohoo, big summer blowout’ line virtually exploded onto the internet and became one of the movie’s most quoted lines. “That’s Chris,” said his mom. “He can keep people laughing.” “He had to have a Norwegian accent, and his mother-in-law is actually right from

Norway,” continued Betty with a laugh, “and she says it’s not quite right.” Chris and the rest of the Big Hero 6 team are still busy rolling out the movie in other international markets, but it’ll soon be back to work for the award-winning director, creating new and ever more enticing worlds for moviegoers. That streak of creativity seems to have been passed along to Chris’s own four-year-old son, added Betty, who said her grandson’s vivid imagination reminds her of Chris. “He always had a wild imagination and was very funny,” she said. “Disney is the perfect place for him!” reporter@peninsula newsreview.com
