Ralph Guggenheim: CEO

As a founding member of Pixar, the pioneering computer animation company, Ralph was Vice President of Feature Animation.  At Pixar he managed the growth and development of the studio from seven people in 1986 to more than 350 employees in 1997.  Among his many accomplishments, Ralph produced Toy Story for Pixar and Disney.  This computer animated feature film, produced for $30 million, grossed over $350 million worldwide and is among the most successful animated films ever produced.

Subsequently, Ralph was an Executive Producer at Electronic Arts, the computer game manufacturer, where he produced Majestic, an innovative online episodic experience that established the Internet as a storytelling medium.

At Alligator Planet, Ralph supervises the production of all projects, including relationships with offshore production studios.  He produced two computer animated feature films for the direct-to-DVD market in 2004 and 2005: Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie and Casper’s Scare School, both for Classic Media, Inc.  These projects required his coordination of a multinational team spanning Australia, India, Los Angeles, London and New York.  Each 75-minute film was produced in less than 16 months from script to delivery.

Ralph produced the first season of Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, working closely with the show’s creator and a small team based in San Francisco.  Subsequently, he produced a pilot for the Fox TV series Bob’s Burgers, picked up by Fox for a 13-episodes first season.

Recently, he consulted to The Weinstein Company, helping troubleshoot a feature animation project.

In addition to his producing credits, Ralph consults to a number of entertainment companies on financial and production management issues.
