Willis also served as composer for HBO's Emmy Award-winning comedy series "Veep."

His latest film is Searchlight Pictures' "The Personal History of David Copperfield," starring Dev Patel. Recently, Willis composed the soundtrack for the new ride-through attraction "Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway" at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. He also co-composed Nothing Can Stop Us Now," an original song for the attraction, with his wife, Elyse. Originally from England, Willis studied music at Clare College at the University of Cambridge, where he received a PhD in Musicology, and trained as a concert pianist at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Currently, he resides in Pasadena, Calif. with Elyse and their two dogs, Bailey and Paddington. .

Yvette Llimargas Gonzàlez C u r s 2 0 1 7 - 2018 3 | P à g i n a TFG TFG – Narratives visuals 2D i 3D Abstract Aquest projecte pretén donar vida als personatges més recents creats conjuntament amb la meva millor amiga Kagero. Amb ella hem creat infinites històries abans, de diferents universos basats en diferents franquícies com Pokémon o Digimon. Aquestes històries les hem desenvolupat sempre en fòrums, juntament amb altres amics. Aquest cop, però, l'univers en el que està basada la història és en el de "The Lion King" de Disney, concretament en el concepte de la sèrie seqüela anomenada "The Lion Guard". Temporalment, però, ocorre en el fil temporal de la primera pel·lícula. Tot i que encara no hem començat a postejar al fòrum en sí per falta de temps d'ambdues parts, sí que anem dissenyant personatges puntualment i concretant moments de la història que han de passar.

  • Mickey Mouse Funhouse S1 Lead Sheet 2021
    "Mickey Mouse Funhouse" Disney Junior's whimsical animated series "Mickey Mouse Funhouse" introduces preschoolers' first pal, Mickey Mouse, and his friends - Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy and Pluto - to Funny, an enchanted talking playhouse who takes the Sensational Six on adventures of all types to unique worlds that inspire the imagination. Geared to kids ages 2-5 and their families, "Mickey Mouse Funhouse" takes place in the magical Funhouse Forest, where Funny lives with his pet doghouse, Teddy, and Windy, the weathervane. Funny can change into anything – a rocket ship, a steamboat, an amusement park ride – and guides Mickey and his pals through all sorts of adventurous and comical quests. Inside the funhouse, the Stairs to Anywhere take the crew to the Adventure Doors, each one leading to a different world. Once transported to these new lands, Mickey and his friends are transformed into characters specific to each setting that help immerse them into whatever situation the doors have lead them. Whether portraying medieval knights, kings and queens in the kingdom of Majestica, old-timey cowboys and cowgirls in Sunny Gulch or mer-people in Underwater Ocean World, Mickey and his pals are eager to embark on these new adventures together. "Mickey Mouse Funhouse" is guided by an established curriculum that nurtures multiple areas of child development: physical, emotional, social and cognitive, thinking and creative skills, as well as moral and ethical development. Stories demonstrate creative play, encourage wish fulfillment and impart age-appropriate social and emotional lessons about friendship, creativity and ingenuity. Curiosity, humor and discovery are central to the series as Mickey and his pals explore diverse places and meet new friends on their adventures.
