DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition - Journey from Sketch to Screen at the Montreal Science Centre Français
MONTREAL, May 14, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - The beloved characters from DreamWorks most celebrated films, including How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, are spending the summer in town at the Montréal Science Centre's newest exhibition DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition – from Sketch to Screen.
More than 400 objects on display
To mark its 20th anniversary, DreamWorks Animation has mined its vaults for rare and never-before-seen items, including maquettes, sketches, photographs, posters and accessories. This impressive collection is combined with unpublished interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, giving visitors an exclusive look inside the creative process that brings the much-loved characters of the world's leading animation studio to life.
Technology in the service of art
Divided into three sections (Character, Story and World), the Exhibition is full of surprising, interactive experiences including 'flying' on the back of a dragon as well as creating your own 2D animation sequence. "DreamWorks has developed unique animation techniques over the years, a fascinating blend of art and technology that has thrilled generations of moviegoers. I suspect that many parents will not have to be asked to come to the Science Centre this summer," said Science Centre Director Isabel Dansereau.
DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition, produced in collaboration with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) and DreamWorks, in partnership with Universal Brand Development, will be on display until September 16, 2018
