The lone east coaster of the Creator/PixarRegulars (a native of Boston, MA), Andrew Stanton became the second animator hired by Pixar in 1990, after briefly working on the 1980s ''WesternAnimation/MightyMouse'' cartoon and screening a few shorts at ''Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation Festival.'' He worked as a writer for the ''Franchise/ToyStory'' films, ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc.'', and ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' (which he also co-directed) before directing ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''. For the next few years, he worked on his next film as a director, ''WesternAnimation/WallE''. Like ''Finding Nemo'', ''WALL•E'' was a critical and financial success. Also like ''Nemo'', it ranks as one of Pixar's most... er... ''[[TearJerker emotional]]'' films, so tissues are highly recommended.

Andrew Stanton is an American animator, writer, director, producer, and voice actor best known for his work at Creator/{{Pixar}}.

The lone east coaster of the Creator/PixarRegulars (a native of Boston, MA), Andrew Stanton became the second animator hired by Pixar in 1990, after briefly working on the 1980s ''WesternAnimation/MightyMouse'' cartoon and screening a few shorts at ''Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation Festival.'' He worked as a writer for the ''Franchise/ToyStory'' films, ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc.'', and ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' (which he also co-directed) before directing ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''. For the next few years, he worked on his next film as a director, ''WesternAnimation/WallE''. Like ''Finding Nemo'', ''WALL•E'' was a critical and financial success. Also like ''Nemo'', it ranks as one of Pixar's most... er... ''[[TearJerker emotional]]'' films, so tissues are highly recommended.

Like other Pixar crew members, Andrew Stanton has provided voice work for many Pixar productions. He most notably voiced Crush the turtle in ''Finding Nemo'' and [[EvilOverlord Zurg]] in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2.''

Stanton made his live-action debut in 2012 with Creator/{{Disney}}'s ''Film/JohnCarter'', which bombed hard enough to take his ProtectionFromEditors with it. His live-action career survived, however, as he would later direct two episodes of the second season of ''Series/StrangerThings'', "Dig Dug" and "The Spy."

!!!Works he's directed/written:
* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' (screenwriter, 1995)
* ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' (co-director/writer, 1998)
* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' (screenwriter, 1999)
* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc.'' (screenwriter, 2001)
* ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' (2003)
* ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' (2008)
* ''Film/JohnCarter'' (2012)
* ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'' (2016)
* ''Series/StrangerThings'' (director of the season 2 episodes "Dig Dug" and "The Spy," 2017)

!!!Tropes associated with films he has directed/written:
* AuthorAppeal: Both ''Finding Nemo'' and ''Wall-E'' have a certain "ambient" aesthetic.
* CentralTheme: Most of his films are about Love and family.
* {{Crossover}}: He reprised his role as Crush for the ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman'' episode "The Ol' Shell Game".
* OldShame: In his youth, Stanton was an actor in an Series/AfterschoolSpecial, ''Dear Diary: A Film About Female Puberty''. When the subject turned to Afterschool Specials in the DVDCommentary for ''Finding Nemo'', Unkrich and Peterson were quick to bring it up, and to remember the special's title after Stanton pretended to have forgotten it, much to his embarrassment.
