Stephen Anderson is an American animator and voice actor working for Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Anderson joined Walt Disney Animation Studios in 1999 as a story artist on Tarzan . Prior to joining Disney, Anderson worked as an animator at Hyperion Animation on Rover Dangerfield and Bebe's Kids .
Following Tarzan, Anderson served as a head of story for The Emperor's New Groove and Brother Bear . Anderson made his directorial debut with the 2007 film Meet the Robinsons and later directed the 2011 film Winnie the Pooh with Don Hall. After the release of Meet the Robinsons he pitched an idea for a feature called The Earth and the Sky, which would have been The Fox and the Hound with a boy and a dragon.
