Biography
Phil Johnston is an American screenwriter and filmmaker best known for his work on Walt Disney Animation Studios' blockbuster animated films. Born October 26, 1971, Johnston co-wrote Wreck-It Ralph (2012), which launched a franchise exploring video-game mythology through deadpan humor and heart. He continued that momentum with Zootopia (2016), a buddy-cop comedy that became a cultural phenomenon, before directing Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) alongside Rich Moore—a sequel that earned Johnston an Academy Award nomination. As a screenwriter, Johnston specializes in blending accessible pop-culture references with genuine emotional stakes, a hallmark of contemporary animation.
