Joe was an animator at Walt Disney Studios for fifteen years and while there pitched the idea for Disney's Hercules. Joe has animated some of Disney's most beloved characters, including the Genie in Aladdin and Roger Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which gave him the opportunity to work with academy award winners Richard Williams and Robert Zemekis. He worked on the highly acclaimed film Beauty and the Beast (the only animated feature ever to be nominated for Best Picture), as well as Rescuers Down Under, Pocahontas, Mulan, Atlantis, and Home on the Range.

Prior to Disney, he worked in London, England on feature films, rock videos and commercials. Joe is a graduate of Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada. Mr. Pfau began his career in 1995 as a digital artist for Apollo 13, eventually moving on to work as lead digital artist on Titanic, Small Soldiers, and Star Wars: Episode I.
