From there he created the shorts "Kitty the Hapless Cat" and "Baxter and Bananas," and worked on the popular series "The Fairly Odd Parents," "Dora the Explorer" and the Emmy Award-winning short, "Max and His Special Problem."

Moncrief joined Disney to work as a storyboard artist on "Teacher's Pet" and continued to lend his creativity to the hit series and videos "Lilo & Stitch," "Kim Possible" and "Brandy & Mr. Whiskers." During this time he returned to his alma mater to teach sophomore level students in the character animation department. He left Disney for a brief time to join Fox, where he directed two seasons of its successful series Family Guy. He returned to Disney to direct Phineas and Ferb.
