Don Fox Bio
Don Fox has been creating exciting worlds for parents and kids for 30 years, first with theme park rides at Midland Entertainment and then in family feature development and programming. His special attraction films have been featured at the MGM Grand and the Luxor in Las Vegas, Busch Gardens and Sea World Parks in Florida, Paramount Parks, Six Flags, and other parks worldwide – so no matter where you live, you might very well have already seen Don’s work!
Don’s favorite award he has won is the Themed Entertainment Association (Thea) Award, honoring entertainment projects that demonstrate the power of compelling environments and experiences for guests and visitors.
After completing the 3D attraction film Robots from Mars – 3D Adventure, which appeared in theme park rides and 3D theaters around the world, Don decided to take the world of the film and turn it into a revolutionary new kind of e-book that kids could read or watch like a movie. He is now working on a prequel series, The Sorcerer of Mars, and on his next two projects, The Titan Adventure and Return of the Sorcerer, and he has films in development as well.
It has taken Don five years to create the over 970 illustrations that have gone into the Robots of Mars 4-part series. The series is available on both Apple Books and Amazon.
Don lives in Berkeley with his family and dog, Oliver, a black miniature schnauzer. When Don was a kid, he had a passion for creating monster movies with his friends. Now, he spends hours imagining and designing the Martian landscape – but always makes sure to leave time to take Oliver on his daily walks around the neighborhood.
