British character animator. He was first known for his work on several Walt Disney Animation Studios films, including various characters in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Rafiki in The Lion King, Belle in Beauty and the Beast, and Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. After Notre Dame, Baxter moved over to DreamWorks Animation, where he worked on films such as The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Shrek 2 and Madagascar. Early in 2005, Baxter left DreamWorks and set out on his own as an independent animator. He became the head of his own studio, James Baxter Animation, in Pasadena, California, where he has directed the animation for the 2007 film Enchanted and the opening credits to Kung Fu Panda, for which he received an Annie Award. As of the summer of 2008, James Baxter Animation has closed and Baxter has returned once again to DreamWorks Animation as a supervising animator. Baxter has also worked on Tummy Trouble, How to Train Your Dragon and The Croods. In May 2013, Baxter was a guest animator for an episode of Adventure Time entitled "James Baxter the Horse".The episode's story focused on the lead characters trying to emulate a horse who can cheer everyone up by neighing his name (James Baxter) and balancing on a beach ball. Both the horse's animation (which is visually distinct from the other characters) and voice were provided by Baxter. The episode's title card features a drawing of the horse drawing a horse on a beach ball, while sitting at an animation table. -Wikipedia

Based on the 1987 Ninja Turtles and 1992 C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa TV series. The Masked Bull, Saddle Sore, and Boot Hill are in the middle of the Mojave Desert where they find the Technodrome. When they get inside, they recognize Shredder, Rocksteady, and Bebop when they first met in Moo Mesa and had their battle with the Turtles and Marshal Moo and his deputies. Krang has plans for both Shredder and the Masked Bull. Since the Technodrome runs low on power, they both have to steal a lot of power from the power plant in New York. Together, Shredder, Rocksteady, Bebop, the Masked Bull, Saddle Sore, and Boot Hill call themselves the Sinister Six! If those 6 slime balls steal all the power from New York, the city will be all blacked out unless the Turtles and C.O.W.-Boys stop them. From the creators of Legend of the Three Caballeros (2018). Voices by Ben Stiller, Tom Kenny, Steve Carell, David DeLuise, Hugh Laurie, Grey DeLisle, Hynden Walch, Alec Baldwin, James Patrick Stuart, Kari Wahlgren, Nicole Sullivan, Johnny Depp, Wally Wingert, Eric Bauza, Bruce Lanoil, Diedrich Bader, and Carlos Alazriqui.
