Yarrow Cheney’s Early life, Childhood, & Education
Yarrow Cheney was born in the United States of America. He is the oldest of five children. Yarrow has a sister and three brothers.
When his parents divorced his family was left with very little money and relied solely on money brought from his mother, Caryn Brady who worked in the Catholic Church as a Youth Group Director, and some help here and there from his extended family
Yarro then decided that he wanted to go into animation. He worked for hours making his drawings perfect.
By the time he applied for college, he was more than ready to keep up with the workload but was initially rejected from the college of his choice (CalArts) purely through of a lack of space for enrollment.
He soon got the Dean of Administration to accept him. Although Darrow was not quite sure how he was going to pay for college, he accepted the position and set off to tell his family the great news.
Yarrow never finished college because, in his 3rd year, he worked on Cats Don’t Dance, for Turner Feature Animation, and then Iron Giant, and Quest for Camelot for Warner Bros. Feature Animation.
During this period, he worked with his friend from college, Carrie Buell.
