I recently had the chance to talk to Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders, directors of HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. This was a real thrill, mainly because I had already followed Chris’ artwork for a while, and have been a huge fan of LILO & STITCH, which both me previously helmed. They came to Dallas for part of a press tour for the new film, and participated in a roundtable interview with select members of the press. The following video was recorded by Devin Pike of Redcarpetcrash.com, and you mostly just hear the questions I asked and the questions Devin asked. Honestly, I could have talked to these guys for hours. I strongly recommend you check out HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, especially in 3-D. It’s easily one of my favorite CG-animated movies of all time.
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON is now open nationwide.
