About

Hi, I’m Simon Ward-Horner. I’ve spent many years working in animation, most recently as animation supervisor on the reboot of the hit show, King of the Hill. My roles have ranged from director and overseas animation supervisor to designer, storyboard artist, and writer. I’ve had the pleasure of directing award-winning projects like Wild Animal Baby Explorers and co-directing The Legends of Treasure Island II. My passion for writing complements my art, as I’ve scripted episodes for animated series and worked on screenplays for features.
I’m also interested in illustration/cartoon work.
I love developing new projects and pushing creative boundaries, whether for television, books, or animation studios worldwide. Working internationally has given me great insight and experience, and I enjoy collaborating on stories that engage and inspire audiences of all ages.
