TYRUS is the first in-depth portrait of the art, life, and enduring impact of Tyrus Wong. The film takes the audience on a remarkable journey — from his birthplace of Guangzhou, China in 1910 to the boarding houses of LA’s old Chinatown and the studios of the Golden Age of Hollywood. The film explores his formative years as a young WPA artist and the influence of Sung Dynasty art on his work. Animation lovers know him as the man whose watercolors were the inspiration for the Disney classic Bambi. Film buffs celebrate his production design contributions to legendary Warner Brothers films like Rebel Without a Cause and The Wild Bunch. Now 105 years old, Tyrus has plenty to smile about and he does so behind a century of bringing joy to the lives of millions.
