In this new episode of The Animashow, my guest is Pierre Perifel — French director and animator at DreamWorks Animation, best known for helming the global hit The Bad Guys and its highly anticipated sequel The Bad Guys 2, coming in 2025. From his early days at Gobelins to directing blockbuster features in Hollywood, Pierre shares his journey, his passion for stylized animation, and what it means to bring a European artistic eye to a major American studio. Together, we explore how to build emotional storytelling within genre films, how to lead international teams, and why making bold creative choices is at the heart of powerful animated filmmaking.
