Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger have been writing partners for more than 10 years.  Jonathan was born and raised in New Jersey and attended Harvard University, where he studied psychology and music.  While at Harvard, he co-wrote the Hasty Pudding show and was music director of the world-renowned vocal group, The Din & Tonics.  Glenn grew up in Smithtown, New York.  He studied Japanese and economics at Brown University, where he also began performing stand-up comedy.
The two met right out of university while working as management consultants in Boston.  It was there they both discovered their passion for comedy writing and lack of passion for management consulting.  So they threw away their suits and briefcases and moved to Los Angeles to become writers.
They began their career writing for television and were part of the original staff of the animated FOX hit “King of the Hill.”  They remained at the show for six seasons, rose to become executive producers, and garnered four Emmy nominations and one win.
They’ve since transitioned to writing feature films, doing numerous rewrites and original live action scripts for studios such as Disney, Warner Bros., New Line, Universal, and Fox.  For DreamWorks Animation, Aibel and Berger have penned the Oscar-nominated  “Kung Fu Panda” as well as “Monsters vs. Aliens”, which was Dreamworks’ first stereoscopic 3-D movie.  Combined, these movies have taken in more than one billion dollars in worldwide box office (or more than €684,000, but that sounds far less impressive than a billion.)  For their screenplay of “Kung Fu Panda”, they received the Annie Award, the American animation community’s highest honor.
They are currently writing the “Kung Fu Panda” sequel, which will hit theatres in 2011, and are consulting on the forthcoming “Shrek Forever After”, both of which will be released in stereoscopic 3-D.
