Veteran Disney Animator Davy Liu Offers the Best to God

A seasoned professional, Davy Liu has worked for Disney on “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” “Mulan,” and “The Lion King” and for George Lucas and Warner Bros. Animation. His illustrations have graced the pages of Time, The Wall Street Journal and Business Week.

In an interview with The Gospel Herald, Liu said that he abandoned his six-figure salary job as an animator in Hollywood in order to fulfill a dream from God – the creation of a 12 series of animation that spreads the gospel message. With confidence, persistence, dream and passion, Liu is determined to offer his best to God.

Liu shared with The Gospel Herald his testimony in a previous interview ; this time, he described how he came to receive the inspirations for creating the scripts for the series of 12 Bible-based animations and eventually shooting them into films.

Inspirations from “The Lion King”

At age 19, Liu became the first Chinese animator in Disney, where he learned and worked at the beginning of his career. It was when he was working on “The Lion King” did he received the inspiration for creating a Bible-themed animation series.

The plot of “The Lion King” is actually derived from the story of Joseph from the Bible, where Joseph had received the favor and love from his father, but his brothers hated him and sold him to a very far place. Like Joseph, Simba, the son of Mufasa, was to become the king, but he left his own kingdom to a remote place, idling with his outside friends in the pleasures of life – he forgot who he is. The film depicts Simba’s search for his own identity, the climax of him finding back his identity as the king.

“Everyone is created according to God’s noble image. And we are the sons and daughters of the King of kings,” said Liu. “When making animations, we often take a simple character from an ordinary story and use the animation techniques, blended with the best music and dubbing, to bring out the joys and sorrows in life, and, through them, the theme would then be brought out.”

Animals’ Perspectives of the Bible Stories

With the inspirations from “The Lion King”, Liu conceived the idea of filming a series of exceptional Bible-themed animations.

The God Centered Life: And Introduction to God Consciousness as to ...

As a Christian writer Williamjordan walks a fine line because, Christianity have strayed so far away from the teachings of the Bible as taught by, Jesus and the Apostles to include the prophets. As far back as the book of Genesis you can read and find that God desire to have a deep and intimate relationship with man. Genesis give us two reason God desired for intimacy with man one he made in his image, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Just like a father who loves a child that favors him that’s our God. Adams hides from God “And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou?” That was how man lost physical and spiritual contact with God, God consciousness is about spiritual renewal something that the modern church has let become taboo to the point of it been unchristian but is this biblical. The scriptures do not support spirituality as being unbiblical in Genesis Enoch who walked with God “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not for God took him.” So here we have a man that was Conscious of God to the point that he pass from this world to be with God. Later on in this chapter we will find the life of Noah another God consciousness man who stayed spirituality connected to God and save preserved mankind people who maintain god consciousness do great thing and cause great things to happen for others. A life centered around God must make time for God Consciousness by praying , mediating, praying, worshiping, praising, walking and talking and listening to God all of these are required to keep consciousness contact. Prayer: Today I will seek to maintain consciousness contact with God thru prayer, mediation, praise, and worship as well as walking talking and spending quite time listening to God that my life may be better centered around God that I may be of maximum service to God and my fellow man. amen… William Jordan Born in the summer of 61 Spent thirty year drinking and drugging while doing everything from managing restaurants to day labor work.
