Howard Huxham

Howard Huxham has been popping up in some pretty big titles lately, and honestly, if you’ve paid attention to modern movies and animation, you’ve probably seen his name somewhere in the credits—even if you didn’t realize it. His work on Space Jam: A New Legacy from 2021? That movie was everywhere for a hot second, mixing classic Looney Tunes chaos with all the nostalgia and wild cameos you could cram into a basketball flick starring LeBron James. It’s not easy taking on a sequel to a cult hit, but Huxham was part of the team that made it happen, for better or worse. Then there’s Disenchanted, Disney’s sort-of fairy tale follow-up from 2022. If you remember Enchanted, you know how clever, weirdly meta, and musically catchy that film was. Disenchanted had Huxham working behind the scenes again, helping bring those animated-meets-real-life shenanigans back to the screen. It’s all about flipping fairy tale tropes on their head, so if you’re into that kind of thing, his fingerprints are all over it. And don’t sleep on Central Park, the animated series that started in 2020. Not as mainstream as the other two, maybe, but it’s got its own cult following. It’s this offbeat, musical love letter to New York City, and Huxham’s contributions add to the show’s quirky charm and catchy tunes. Basically, if you dig animation and musicals with a twist, his credits are worth checking out.
