Quentin Blake wasn't the first illustrator - Fantastic Mr. Fox with Colin Jack - E025

1 hour 2 minutes

Colin Jack is currently a co-director at Dreamworks Animation, and has storyboarded on everything from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Captain Underpants, Puss in Boots, The Croods, Boss Baby as well as more recently been Head of Story on Trolls Band Together.

As we siphoned through a list of potential candidate works to talk about, he quickly decided on Fantastic Mr. Fox, the 2009 debut animation from visionary director Wes Anderson. I was so excited ot get to share a discussion about his work with Colin.

These are a few of the things we talked about:

- Moving from Live Action to Storyboarding

- The themes of Fatherhood in the movie, reflected in Colin’s Life

- The design choice of Fantastic Mr. Fox as it doesn’t resemble the visual style of Quentin Blake.

& so much more!

I’m really excited to hear your thoughts after listening to us ramble on!
