with Paul Germain to create Recess for Disney. The Recess playground was based on Ansolabehere and Germain's own elementary school memories, and the characters were all based on friends they knew back then. The show became ABC's biggest Saturday morning hit of the late 1990s. It spawned a feature film, Recess: School's Out, which Ansolabehere and Germain wrote and produced in 2001. With Germain, Ansolabehere also created and produced the animated series Lloyd in Space for Disney, and developed and produced the show Pound Puppies for The Hub, receiving the 2012 Humanitas Award for the episode "I Never Barked for My Father". He worked for Disney Jr. from 2011 to 2017, writing for Sheriff Callie's Wild West and Miles from Tomorrowland, then story editing the first season of Goldie and Bear. Other animated television shows Ansolabehere has written and produced for include Beethoven, Duckman, Dinosaur Train, Peter Rabbit, Henry Hugglemonster, Let's Go Luna and Motown. He was credited as a screenwriter on Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue.
