Stephen Anderson, director of Meet the Robinsons and Winnie the Pooh, has currently a feature film in development at WDAS.
Q: What are you working on now?
Stephen Anderson: I'm developing a new feature at Disney. It's a little early, unfortunately, for me to talk about it but I'm very excited about it and looking forward to getting that going.
Q: Do you want to give us an update on what's the latest and greatest that Steve is working on?
Stephen Anderson: Yeah. I can't talk about the specifics, but I am developing a new feature film. It's many, many years away. It's still very early, but I'm very excited about the idea. I think it has the potential to be a really great movie. Of course, we're all going to say that when we're this early in the process, but I really do think that this can be a great movie. It feels like classic Disney, but at the same time feels very fresh and new and like something we haven't done before. So, I'm pretty excited about that. Right now, it's in early development. There's no storyboarding being done so I'm just directing this one.
I'm glad he's involved with another film. MtR and WtP aren't in my top Disney films, but I have mostly positive feelings towards both of them.

Meet the Robinsons made only $169 million worldwide in 2007, while Shrek 3 made $800 million & Pixar's Ratatouille made $624 million & won an Oscar. And 2011's Winnie the Pooh, only $33 million worldwide. But their critical reviews are pretty good. Also neither of these films were nominated for Best Animated Feature Oscar. Will be interesting to see what he's working on.

Can't wait! Wouldn't it be great if it was King of Elves?
I would love that. The designs for that film were unparalleled.

If it was, all my interest in this would evaporate.

Since Stephen Anderson has left WDAS and joined DTVA, it's presumed his project there has been shelved.
Q: I'm also curious to see what you were working on during the mid-late 2010s before you left Disney, too. Whatever it was, I bet it sounded really cool.
Stephen Anderson: Thank you for your interest! It was pretty cool but after 5 years of development, the project stalled out and I stepped away. Oh well.
