In 1977, he finally ended up at Disney Studios as animator on ''The Fox and the Hound'' but left Disney later because he did not want to work on ''The Black Cauldron''. It was then he met future ''Tron'' director Steven Lisberger, who was working on ''Animalympics''. After ''Animalympics'' was completed, Lisberger developed ''Tron'' and sold it to Disney. After ''Tron'' was finished, Kroyer decided to stay with computer animation instead of traditional animation and worked at Robert Abel and Associates and Digital Productions. In 1986, he and his wife, Sue, started Kroyer Films to combine computer animation with hand-drawn animation. They made a short film titled, ''Technological Threat'' and it was nominated for an Academy Award in 1988. He directed Computer Warriors in 1990 as then ''FernGully: The Last Rainforest'' in 1993. He was originally set to direct ''Quest for Camelot'' but he was replaced with Frederik Du Chau. Soon after he joined Rhythm and Hues Studios as Senior Animation Director and supervised the CGI animation for films such as ''Garfield'', ''Scooby Doo'', ''Cats & Dogs'' and ''The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas''. In early 2009 he began teaching at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts in Orange, California.〔Wolff, Ellen (March 2011). "Bill Kroyer's Academic Adventure".
