This is an alphabetical list of some of the people who worked on the film, along with a short biography of their work.

Name: John August
Position: Screenplay
Profile: IMDB
History: August's career as a writer is studded with several successful films, including Charlie's Angels, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Corpse Bride. On a more electic note, he also has also written songs for the films he helped write, probably the most well-known being "Wonka's Welcome Song".

Name: Kym Barrett
Position: Costume Designer
Profile: IMDB
History: Kym began in theater, and has seen a very successful career in costume design. She has worked on such films as Romeo + Juliet, The Matrix series, Gothika, and Eragon. How she wound up doing Titan A.E. is beyond me.

Name: Don Bluth
Position: Director, Producer
Profile: IMDB
History: Bluth began his career at Disney in 1955 as an assitant animator on Sleeping Beauty. He left Disney and returned in 1971 to work on films such as Robin Hood and The Rescuers. During this time he met Gary Goldman. After Walt died, Gary and Don led a small revolution of Disney personell and resigned in 1979. Together with John Pomeroy, they formed Don Bluth Productions. Among the films they created were Banjo the Woodpile Cat and The Secret of N.I.M.H.. Don found the most success after teaming up with Morris Sullivan, creating a string of successful films: An American Tail, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, and Rock-a-Doodle, to name a few. At Fox Animation in Phoenix, Don directed and produced his last great success, Anastasia. With the box-office failure of Titan A.E., the Fox Animation studio was shut down, leaving Bluth with his Dragon Lair 3D project. He has written two books since, one on animation and one on storyboarding.

Name: Ben Edlund
Position: Screenplay
Profile: IMDB
History: Ben's career has been a healthy mix of writing and production. He created the comic series The Tick, and was a writer and producer on the well-known sci-fi television shows Angel and Firefly.

Name: Gary Goldman
Position: Director, Producer
Profile: IMDB
History: Gary's career follows closely with Don's. He began at Disney in 1972 as an in-betweener on Robin Hood. He worked alongside Bluth, and eventually they teamed up to rediscover their own process of creating an animated film. The two broke away from Disney in 1979 and produced several successful films up until Titan A.E. and the shutdown of Fox Animation. They are still collaborating together under the revived Don Bluth Productions, developing Dragon's Lair as a feature film.

Name: David Kirschner
Position: Producer
Profile: IMDB
History: David's career began as an illustrator for Jim Henson. In 1986 he executive produced An American Tail, the first step in a string of family films, including Hocus Pocus, The Pagemaster, and Cats Don't Dance. Since Titan A.E., he has gone on to produce several more films, including Curious George and Seed of Chucky.

Name: Graeme Revell
Position: Composer
Profile: IMDB
History: Graeme's career as a composer began in 1989 with his work on the score of Dead Calm. He is highly reknown as a talented experimental composer, and his work spans a vast amount of films. Among them are The Crow, Pitch Black, Sin City, and, of course, Titan A.E.

Name: Joss Whedon
Position: Screenplay
Profile: IMDB
History: Whedon's career is an eclectic one, with work in practically every field of film from writing to direction to acting. He created the Firefly television series and composed the main title theme. He directed the feature film tie-in Serenity, and directed several episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. He wrote the lyrics to "My Lullaby" for The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, and worked on the screenplay for Toy Story and Atlantis: The Lost Empire (all of a sudden, the Gune/Mole relationship makes some sense).
