Andrews studied animation at the Character Animation Program at CalArts. After that he was one of five who got a Disney internship, but was fired after three months.[3] He is also considered to be Brad Bird's "right-hand man". Some of his student films have been featured at MOMA's exhibition TOMORROWLAND: CalArts in Moving Pictures. Unlike most other CalArts alumni, he was not a huge fan of Disney films, and claimed he was a bigger fan of anime such as Kimba the White Lion, Speed Racer, and Robotech.[4]

He is the father of Maeve Andrews, who voiced Jack-Jack Parr in The Incredibles.[5] Andrews replaced Brenda Chapman as director of Brave (2012).[6] Both were credited as directors, and they won the 2013 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

On January 15, 2013, it was announced that Andrews was writing and directing another feature film at Pixar.[7][8][9] As of 2019, Andrews no longer works at Pixar and there has been no further development of his announced project.[10]
