Steve Box (born February 21, 1967) is an Oscar-winning animator and director who works for Aardman Animations.
His early work in animation included the popular British claymation television series The Trap Door for Bristol-based animation studio CMTB Animation.
Box joined Aardman Animations in 1990. He directed the video for the Spice Girls' "Viva Forever" in 1998. He won a BAFTA Award in 1998 for his 11-minute animated film Stage Fright which he wrote, directed and produced. He also provided the voice for the character of Vince in the TV series Rex the Runt.
He was the key animator for Aardman's film Chicken Run and was an animator for the Wallace and Gromit films The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave, before co-writing and co-directing the much-anticipated Wallace and Gromit feature film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit along with Nick Park. The film gained him his second BAFTA and his first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
