The thing that bugs me about this, is that both Chris Sanders and Dean Deblois are former Disney animators at the Florida studios and were responsible for Lilo & Stitch and they also worked on other Disney movies. So, why on earth did Disney have to let these guys go?
Great job and congrats to them though, and to Dreamworks for hiring them.

Chris Sanders and Dean Deblois didn't fit Disney's culture. I think they were under-appreciated for the great work that they did. The only two "rebels" that seem to get running room and respect for their own personal style at Disney are John Lassiter and Brad Bird.

Lilo and Stitch was a successful film and a wildly successful property around the world. Stitch was unique and unfortunately over-exposed, but that doesn't take away from the genius of his design.

How to Train Your Dragon shows that their work wasn't a one-time fluke. I wish them both a long and successful career with Dreamworks.

I might agree that they didn't necessarily fit in with the culture, and definitely agree that they were under-recognized. But, it's just a shame that Disney let them go after bringing them up thru the ranks and then their wildly successful character and movie. I guess that's just the way the business goes though.

I wish them well also, and look forward to seeing more of their creative talents in the future, whether or not they're with Disney, Dreamworks or whoever.
