Des Gobelins à Hollywood !
The Animashow - Épisode 12 - Saison 6
Édition spéciale "Festival d'Annecy 2025"
Le style Tarantino peut-il rencontrer l’univers déjanté des Looney Tunes ? C’est possible. Bienvenue dans l’univers explosif des “Bad Guys” — la franchise Dreamworks qui propose au grand public un univers unique entre action, rédemption, et pur fun visuel. Dans ce nouvel épisode de The Animashow, mon invité est Pierre Perifel — réalisateur et animateur français chez DreamWorks Animation, à qui l’on doit le succès mondial Les Bad Guys, et désormais Les Bad Guys 2, qui sortira en 2025. De son parcours aux Gobelins à sa montée fulgurante à Hollywood, Pierre partage avec passion son amour pour l’animation stylisée, l’importance d’un regard européen dans un grand studio américain, et la liberté créative qu’il a su défendre dans un système souvent formaté. Ensemble, nous revenons sur l’écriture d’un film de genre, l’évolution des personnages, la gestion d’équipes internationales… et ce qui fait, selon lui, le cœur d’un film d’animation : une émotion sincère, portée par des choix de mise en scène forts.
Bonne écoute à vous !

From Gollum to Orwell
The Animashow - Episode 10 - Season 6
Annecy Festival - 2025 Special Edition
SUMMARY
What if Gollum directed George Orwell?
In this new episode of The Animashow, my guest is Andy Serkis — the legendary actor behind Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, a trailblazer in performance capture, and now the director of his first animated feature: Animal Farm, a bold and timely adaptation of George Orwell’s classic novel. As part of this Annecy Festival 2025 special edition, Andy opens up about why Animal Farm matters now more than ever, how animation can carry powerful political messages, and what it means to tell stories with both raw emotion and artistic vision. It’s a passionate, thought-provoking conversation with one of the most innovative storytellers of our time.
A special retrospective celebrating Annecy Festival 2025!
Enjoy the podcast!
