The Iron Giant with Dean DeBlois

Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.

In episode 141 Sam is joined by animator and filmmaker Dean DeBlois. His work includes Lilo & Stitch and the How To Train Your Dragon animated trilogy. His latest film, the live action version of How To Train Your Dragon, is in UK cinemas now. 

Dean has chosen The Iron Giant (87 mins), directed by Brad Bird and starring the voices of Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., and Vin Diesel.

Sam and Dean discuss bringing the animated world of How To Train Your Dragon into live action, the California animation scene in the late 90s, and seeing an early cut of The Iron Giant on VHS.
