Among Kelly Asbury's many achievements, he directed UglyDolls (2019) and Les Schtroumpfs et le Village perdu (2017). He also co-wrote the 3D computer-animated feature film Gnomeo et Juliette (2011).

Asbury's other past directorial efforts include the Oscar-nominated films, Shrek 2 (2004) and Spirit: L'étalon des plaines (2002).

During his over thirty-year career as an animation artist, Kelly Asbury had served many creative capacities on some of Hollywood's most popular animated films, including La Reine des neiges (2013), Les Mondes de Ralph (2012), Shrek (2001), Toy Story (1995), Tim Burton's L'Étrange Noël de monsieur Jack (1993), "Beauty and the Beast" (Disney 1992) and "The Little Mermaid" (Disney 1989).

Asbury also provided a variety of character voices on Gnomeo et Juliette (2011) and Shrek 2 (2004).

In addition to films, Asbury was a noted author and illustrator of several published children's books, as well as having written and compiled the offbeat, non-fiction book, "Dummy Days - America's Favorite Ventriloquists from Radio and Early TV" (Angel City Press - 2003)

He sadly passed away on June 26, 2020. He is survived by his wife, Jacquie, two step-sons, a sister, and a niece
