In this episode, Tony sits down in the home office of Simon Otto, the Head of Character Animation on all three of Dreamworks Animation’s How To Train Your Dragon movies. Simon shares how he was first “drawn” to animation as a child in Switzerland and made his way to work for Dreamworks, first as a 2d animator and then making the change to CG animation. From working on Dreamworks first animated feature, The Prince of Egypt to the most recent Dragon film, Simon is one of DW Animation's oldest employees.
