Welcome to a thrilling new episode of the Collide Kids Podcast hosted by Christen Clark! Today, we have the amazing pleasure of chatting with the incredibly talented Davy Liu, an artist and animator whose magical touch graced some of Disney’s most beloved films like "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," and "The Lion King." Not only has Davy worked in big-time animation, but following a spiritual calling from Jesus, he launched his own company, Kendu Films, focusing on creating animated stories with biblical themes. From childhood tales in Taiwan to shaping biblical narratives on the big screen, Davy’s journey is a testament to the power of creativity and faith that we can do all things through Christ. So grab your sketchbook and let's dive into a conversation that’s as inspiring as it is enlightening with the one and only Davy Liu. Plus kids only segment featuring Summer Jones. Don't forget to share this episode with friends and family, and remember, creativity starts with just one sheet of paper!
