==Career==
Line 7 ⟶ 14:
The Brizzis first made their name working in commercials and short films, including the award-winning short ''Fracture''. In 1985, the brothers directed the animated film ''[[Asterix Versus Caesar]]'' (''Astérix et la surprise de César'') for [[Gaumont Film Company]], and started their own animation studio, Brizzi Films, the following year.<ref name="artistreg" /> Brizzi Films worked on several international television series, including ''[[Babar (TV series)|Babar]]'' and its feature film adaptation, ''[[Babar: The Movie]]'' (1989). In 1989, the Brizzis sold their studio to [[The Walt Disney Company]], who first turned the facility into a satellite shop for [[Walt Disney Television Animation]]. The Brizzis worked as unit producers on several Disney TV shows and two films based on Disney TV shows, ''[[DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp]]'' (1990) and ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'' (1995).
In 1994, [[Walt Disney Animation France]] was placed under the [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Walt Disney Feature Animation]] division, and after completing work on ''A Goofy Movie'', the Brizzis moved to Los Angeles to work as storyboard/concept artists and sequence directors on ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996 film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' (1996).<ref name="sony">{{Cite web |url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Sony+Pictures+Animation+Announces+Projects+for+Directors+Jill+Culton,...-a0101493610 |title=Sony Pictures Animation Announces Projects for Directors Jill Culton, Anthony Stacchi, Roger Allers, Brenda Chapman and the Brizzi Brothers. - Free Online Library |access-date=May 8, 2010 |archive-date=October 19, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019142247/http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Sony+Pictures+Animation+Announces+Projects+for+Directors+Jill+Culton,...-a0101493610 |url-status=dead }}</ref> They also worked extensively on ''[[Tarzan (1999 film)|Tarzan]]'' (1999),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://artofdisneyeng.canalblog.com/ |title=
