Birthplace: N/A

A veteran Disney-Pixar animator and director, Angus MacLane (birthname: Angus Perry MacLane) is the director of Disney-Pixar’s 2022 spinoff of the Toy Story franchise, Lightyear. Though initially wanting to be a comic-book artist, MacLane switched his focus to animation and joined Pixar immediately after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design. After working on each Pixar feature, starting with A Bug’s Life (1998) until Toy Story 3 (2010), he was elevated to character animator status on Monsters, Inc. (2001), and then Brad Bird’s Pixar classic, The Incredibles (2004), for which MacLane scored his first Annie Award.

After extensive collaboration with director Andrew Stanton on the Disney-Pixar masterwork, WALL-E (2008), MacLane joined Disney-Pixar’s director track with some shorts, leading up to his first feature directing assignment, the acclaimed Finding Dory (2016), with the voices of Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill, Diane Keaton, and Eugene Levy. Soon after, MacLane began developing his idea for Lightyear, a movie concentrating on Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear character. The project was announced in 2020, with the voice of Chris Evans replacing that of Tim Allen, who voiced Buzz in the previous Toy Story movies.
