Steven Spielberg’s old buddies at DreamWorks Studios, boasting a catalogue featuring the likes of Shrek, Madagascar and Kung-Fu Panda, are back with their latest instalment of animation wonderment. However this time around the studio has opted to give their latest offering How to Train Your Dragon the fangle-dangle 3D treatment.

Steve Purcell is an American artist, cartoonist and film/game designer. Perhaps most important of all though, he is also the creator of the hugely popular characters Sam & Max, who have featured in a wide variety of media products over the years including comic books, a TV show and now a return to gaming with their third Season from Telltale Games, launching tomorrow (15th April 2010). He also works at Pixar. What better time to speak to this hugely talented artist and designer? I was recently lucky enough to be able to track Mr Purcell down and pick his brain for the pleasure of AMO’s readers… he even provided us with some fantastic artwork too!

When I was a kid, I once found a record called Robin Williams: A Night At The Met. I had no idea that the Met was the New York Metropolitan Opera House, or know anything about cocaine, Ronald Reagan, or even a lot about alcohol – I did know that listening to Robin Williams say that beer commercials always showed “Manly men doing manly things! You’ve just killed a small animal – it’s time for a light beer!” sounded damned funny.

What have the Swedes ever done for us, eh? Saunas, au pairs, Ulrika Jonsson, Henrik Larsson; what have they ever done for us?!
As far as the world of cinema goes, seems like they’ve hit an unsuspecting audience with a decent double whammy. Firstly, 2009’s crotch-grabbingly excellent Let The Right One In and now this year’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
