About the director
A Logan County native, Chapman grew up in the village of Beason.
She attended Lincoln College and then the California Institute of
the Arts.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in character animation,
she was a story trainee on Disney's animated film "The Little
Mermaid." She was one of several key story artists on Disney's
"Beauty and the Beast," where she worked closely with future Disney
director Roger Allers to define many of the key sequences and motifs
used in the film. She later served as head of story, the first woman
to do so in an animated feature film, for Disney's animated classic
"The Lion King." She also worked in story and development for other
Disney animated films, including "The Rescuers Down Under," "The
Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Fantasia 2000."

Chapman joined DreamWorks Animation at its inception in the fall of
1994. There she was one of a team of three directors who worked on
the 1998 film "The Prince of Egypt," along with Steve Hickner and
Simon Wells. She became the first woman to land a directing role in
an animated feature by a major studio.
