Teddy Newton

TEDDY NEWTON came to Pixar in July of 2000 to work on Pixar‘s sixth feature film, The Incredibles, and has since contributed his considerable character-design skills to many of Disney•Pixar‘s award-winning feature and short films, including Ratatouille, Your Friend the Rat and Presto.

He was also instrumental in the creation of the end titles of The Incredibles and Ratatouille, and is frequently cast as a voice in Disney/Pixar films, including the role of Chatter Telephone in Toy Story 3.

For his Disney/Pixar directorial debut, Newton teamed with producer Kevin Reher on Day & Night, the new short film being released with Toy Story 3.

Prior to coming to Pixar, Newton worked in the story department and in character design at Warner Bros. on Iron Giant. He also served as writer/producer for the independent feature film The Trouble with Lou.
Newton is inspired by the drawings of Al Hirschfeld and early Warner Bros. animation. He grew up in Dana Point, Calif., and attended California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts).
