His name may not say a lot to many people, but his films speak for him. Kelly Asbury had worked on Rox and Rouky, Taram and the Magic Cauldron, Bernard and Bianca, Toy Story, Shrek 1, The strange Christmas of Mr. Jack or Kung Fu Panda before becoming himself director of Spirit the stallion of plains and, above all, Shrek 2.
It is easy to understand, the director was therefore a monster of animation cinema in the United States since he was also the voice of many cartoon characters. Unfortunately Kelly Asbury died on Friday June 26 of cancer at the age of 60.
