Who is David N. Weiss?

David N. Weiss is an American writer, lecturer and labor leader. He is a screenwriter of films, including All Dogs go to Heaven, The Rugrats Movie, Shrek 2, Clockstoppers, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and The Smurfs and has also written for television shows such as Mission Hill.

Weiss was nominated for a prime time Emmy Award for his work on Rugrats Mother's Day and two of his films were nominated for Academy Awards™. The Smurfs spent a record-breaking 7 weeks at #1, world-wide. His combined box office now exceeds $2.3 billion, world wide. Since most of his films are animated and not covered under the WGA agreement with the studios, he has received little "back end" payment.

With his writing partner, J. David Stem, Mr. Weiss served as a head writer of the Rugrats TV Series and penned the acclaimed perennial Rugrats Chanukah. Other TV credits include the hit CBS series, Cybill The CW’s Mission Hill and Nickelodeon’s Roundhouse.
