More than 10 years have passed since the arrival of the fearless cat’s first solo film, and now its sequel is playing a huge role in ushering in a new era for DreamWorks Animation. This great studio, recognized worldwide for being the home of successful franchises such as Shrek, Madagascar, How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda, is now moving away from the traditional CG animation style to which we are so accustomed and heading towards new waters. with a combination of 2D and 3D animation.
In a recent interview with Joel Crawford for Discussing Filmthe outlet was able to discover how Puss in Boots 2 achieves all its visual splendor alongside a magical classic DreamWorks narrative. In addition, the filmmaker shared what it was like for them to reinvent themselves and bring a fresh animation technique to the big screen with this feature film. His words were as follows:
It’s such an exciting time in animation, I think more than just the house styles between the studios. Like when the first Shrek came out, it was an incredible technical achievement that had great storytelling and wowed audiences. But there was this pursuit of photorealism in early CG work, that everything could look as real as possible. You could see details like the freckles on the character’s arms and it was impressive. And audiences have gotten more sophisticated since then.
I think one of the amazing things as artists is that we’re seeing all kinds of different art forms. For example, I’ve always been a fan of Akira, it’s the anime movie that inspired me from the beginning. Now, having seen all these different styles, as filmmakers, we can pull out different inspirations and put them out there. The idea that conventional animation doesn’t just have to look like CG, that it can really be all sorts of things, like a filmmaker, feels like you’ve been given more tools. You have more tools to tell the story more specifically, so it’s a very exciting time in animation right now.
