Kevin Lima (born June 12, 1962) is an American film director and animator who has directed A Goofy Movie (1995), Tarzan (1999), 102 Dalmatians (2000), and Enchanted (2007).
Then, he worked on The Chipmunk Adventure (1987), where he met Glen Keane, one of many artists, who had left Disney after The Black Cauldron (1985) had failed at the box office.
Following the release of Tarzan (1999), Lima wanted to direct live-action films, and subsequently left Disney once again.
Soon after, Lima was offered by Glenn Close, who had voiced Kala in Tarzan, to direct her on 102 Dalmatians (2000), which had just lost its director.
