In 1986 he published his first comic, Secrets of the Dragon Fly.
Ten years later he produced the short film The Old Lady and the Pigeons. This won him a BAFTA, the Grand Prize at the Annecy Festival, the Cartoon d’Or prize, as well as the Audience Prize and Jury Prize at the Angers Premiers Plans Festival. It also received an Oscar nomination for best short film.
His first feature length animated film; Les Triplettes de Belleville (Belleville Rendezvous in the UK) was also nominated for two Oscars in 2003 (Best animated feature and Best song).
His second feature, ‘The Illusionist’ is out sometime later this year. There is no official trailer for this yet, except (bizarrely) in Russia. Here’s the trailer. Looks like another winner.
