HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON trilogy writer/director Dean DeBlois hits DCS Nov 23-24!

Please help us welcome two-time Oscar and Bafta nominee and multiple Annie Award-winner, and winner of the presitigous Texas Avery Award for Animation, the magnificent Dean DeBlois! Hot off the success if HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD (the third movie in the popular franchise) earlier this year, Dean is making a special trip to join us at Dallas Comic Show’s Holiday Special this November 23-24

His early days in Hollywood saw him working as an assistant animator on shows like THE TEDDY BEARS’ PICNIC and THE RACCOONS, and eventually films like THE NUTCRACKER PRINCE (as assistant animator and layout artist), THUMBELINA (as layout artist), A TROLL IN CENTRAL PARK (as layout artist), MULAN (as the story co-head) and ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE (as story artist). Dean’s directing career started with co-directing LILO & STITCH for Walt Disney Pictures, before moving on to the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON franchise. Dean has been behind all three DRAGONS films (co-directing the first and solo directing 2 and 3), as well as writing the screenplays, and has been proudly representing Dreamworks Animation for the past decade. He’s even hosted presentations on animation for President Barack Obama, and was picked to be the keynote speaker at this year’s VIEW Conference in Turin, Italy. Dean also directed the documentary HEIMA about the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, and also directed another feature-length music film for Sigur Rós front-man Jónsi, entitled GO QUIET, as well as a feature-length concert film entitled JONSI: LIVE AT THE WILTERN. We are so very excited to have Dean make a special rare appearance with us this November, so please be sure you don’t miss the opportunity to meet him in person.
