Andrews studied animation at the Character Animation Program at CalArts. After that he was one of five who got a Disney internship, but was fired after three months.[7] He is also considered to be Brad Bird's "right-hand man".[who?] Some of his student films have been featured at MOMA's exhibition TOMORROWLAND: CalArts in Moving Pictures. Unlike most other CalArts alumni, he was not a huge fan of Disney films, and claimed he was a bigger fan of anime such as Kimba the White Lion, Speed Racer, and Robotech.[8]
He is the father of Maeve Andrews, who voiced Jack-Jack Parr in The Incredibles.[9] Andrews replaced Brenda Chapman as director of Brave (2012).[10] Both were credited as directors, and they won the 2013 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.[11]
On January 15, 2013, it was announced that Andrews was writing and directing another original feature film at Pixar.[12][13][14] Andrews left Pixar in 2018[2] and his new project was eventually shelved.[15]
Andrews served as director and executive producer of the Netflix original animated series Super Giant Robot Brothers, which premiered on August 4, 2022.[16]
