Animation

I love the challenge of making a film for a big audience and trying to make it successful for the studio. There's something nice about the wide fan base, the films like How to Train Your Dragon have gained. But I do think my spirit is independent. I would love to make small films that don't cost very much, that take more risk. You kind of have to have an independent spirit if you want to create those kind of darker storylines because not really the favorite of big budget movies. It was fun, actually. Very much a boy's wish come true to sit around and design potential toys with the makers.
