 About
Stuart Sumida
From ancient fossils to cutting-edge animation, Stuart Sumida’s
work takes him all over the place. First and foremost, he
is a biology professor at Cal State San Bernardino who has
worked on ancient finds such as “Sue,” the world’s largest
and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex. Helping students excel
in the classroom with his knowledge of anatomy led to a simple
lecture to Disney animators on how animals move. And that
led to consulting jobs on films such as “Beauty and the Beast,”
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,”
and more than 30 more films by Hollywood’s major studios.
“Making animated films and films with extensive special effects
now takes an enormous amount of technology and scientific
information,” Sumida said. “I’ve been very fortunate to be
able to participate in this new wave of animation technology.
Significantly, it also impacts very positively on my teaching
at Cal State San Bernardino.”
