Producer

Roy Conli produced Walt Disney Animation Studios’ (WDAS) Oscar®-winning feature “Big Hero 6,” and is part of the executive leadership team for WDAS.

Roy joined Disney in 1993, and after launching production for “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” he relocated to France to oversee the contributions of the Paris-based animation team over the two-year production schedule. Upon completion of the film, Conli remained in France and guided production on the animated films “Hercules” and “Tarzan.” Roy returned to the studio in Burbank to produce “Treasure Planet.” He served as producer of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 50^th animated film “Tangled” (2010), “Big Hero 6” (2014), as well as the featurette “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” (2017). Conli joined the Disneynature team in 2015, serving as a producer of “Born in China” prior to his work on “Penguins.”

Before joining WDAS, Roy spent four years at the Mark Taper Forum, Los Angeles’ leading regional theater, managing special projects, new play development and the premieres of such award-winning plays as “Angels in America,” “Jelly’s Last Jam” and “The Kentucky Cycle.” He previously initiated a restoration of the Pasadena Playhouse, guiding the theater to its official reopening in 1983, and served as associate producer for the Camden Shakespeare Festival in Maine.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Roy studied theater at San Francisco’s prestigious American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.), later earning his M.F.A. at Boston University.
