Aaron Horvath

Aaron Horvath (born Aug. 19, 1980, in California) is a writer, producer, and director known for his work in animation, particularly his contributions to the comedic and action-packed superhero genre. Horvath began in the animation industry as a storyboard artist and writer on television. He worked on series like El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera and Fish Hooks. His big break came when he co-created the animated series Teen Titans Go! in 2013. The lighthearted, comedic take on DC’s Teen Titans characters earned Horvath widespread recognition.

To the Movies (2018), a humorous feature film adaptation of the series. In 2023, Horvath made another major stride in feature animation as co-director of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a box office hit that breathed new life into the Nintendo franchise.
