Kristen Anderson

Kristen Anderson-Lopez is a songwriter who has collaborated on a number of projects with her husband Bobby Lopez.

The first song they ever wrote together was "The Wide, Wide World" for the fourth season of Bear in the Big Blue House. That same year, they also wrote "Clean Up the Truck" and "Everything Is Great About the Library" for the show. In 2019, the pair wrote songs for Muppets Live Another Day, a project developed for Disney+ that never went into production.

Appearing on NPR's "Ask Me Another", Anderson-Lopez described how she and her future husband were a couple before working together professionally:

“He was writing these songs for Bear in the Big Blue House [audience applause] and he wanted a little help on it, and I was like, 'Okay, yes! Yes! I'm there!' I got on a bus across town and had a lyric for him when I showed up. Which he then ripped apart [laughing] and said we have to start again.”

Her other credits include Wonder Pets on Nickelodeon, Finding Nemo: The Musical, Disney's 2011 feature film Winnie the Pooh, Disney's Frozen, and the Marvel streaming series WandaVision.
