Sherri Lynn Stoner (born July 16, 1959) is an American actress, animation executive, and writer. She also voiced Slappy Squirrel in the children's television series Animaniacs and for one short segment in its revival.
Biography
She has worked extensively in animation. She was a writer
and producer for such 1990s animated shows as Tiny Toon Adventures and
Animaniacs. In Animaniacs, Stoner also voiced Slappy Squirrel, a grumpy elderly
squirrel and retired cartoon star. In 2023, she reprised the role of Slappy
Squirrel for the final episode of the Animaniacs revival.
She co-wrote (with Deanna Oliver) Universal's Casper and was
on the writing staff of the 1996 revival of an animated Casper the Friendly
Ghost, also known as The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper. Stoner and
Oliver wrote the Disney film My Favorite Martian, based on the original 1960s
TV series.
Stoner served as the animation reference model for Ariel in
Disney's The Little Mermaid and for Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Animators
for The Little Mermaid incorporated some of Stoner's mannerisms, such as biting
her lower lip, into the character design of Ariel.
