Anecdotes

Tyrus is a 2015 feature-length documentary directed by Pamela Tom about the Chinese American artist Tyrus Wong, whose paintings became the inspiration for the classic animated feature Bambi.

Production

Pamela Tom was inspired to make Tyrus after watching Bambi with her daughter. In the behind-the-scenes documentary that followed, she learned of Wong:

...the animators kept referring to this Chinese American artist named Tyrus Wong. I thought, 'A Chinese American artist in the 1930s? I need to find out more about this person.'

Tyrus was produced by Tom, Gwen Wynne, and Tamara Khalaf.
