CG animation supervisor for STUART LITTLE (1999). After studying biology at UC San Diego, Henry Anderson moved on to California Institute of the Arts' animation program, then plied his trade at Pacific Data Images, Rhythm & Hues, Pixar, Digital Domain and Blue Sky before beginning his tenure at Sony Pictures Imageworks. His CG animation for Columbia Pictures' STUART LITTLE was the result of 10 years' experience directing digital character animation that included Coca-Cola's perennial polar bear campaign and the primetime Emmy-winning martians of CBS/Hanna-Barbara's "The Last Halloween." Anderson's goal on STUART was to translate the wishes of director Rob Minkoff (THE LION KING, 1994) into a series of unified performances coaxed from a team of 30 animators, giving life to Stuart (voiced by Michael J. Fox) and his rodent co-stars (Bruno Kirby and Jennifer Tilly). Anderson also supervised the animation of a supporting cast of talking felines, supplied by Rhythm & Hues (supervised by Bill Westenhofer) and Centropolis Effects (lead animator Benedikt Niemann). The demands on those studios for the photo-realistic integration of believable animal performance became an almost herculean endeavor. Working with senior VFX supervisor John Dykstra and Imageworks supervisor Jerome Chen -- who clothed and furred the mice, then implemented the final digital composites -- Anderson and company raised the bar on 3D character animation and captured the heart and soul of E.B. White's timeless tale. Use this link to see a QuickTime example of the animation in STUART LITTLE. Nominated for Achievement in Visual Effects 1999: STUART LITTLE (w. John C.
