<span class=normal>What was the animation process like for Despicable Me?<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The film is produced by Chris Meledandri of Ice Age fame, who quit Blue Sky Studios to build a new faction with Universal Pictures called Illumination Entertainment. The animation pipeline was a lot like the American process, the methods of working was in par with DreamWorks. The director of the film was amazing, first the extreme poses of the character animation is blocked out, then it undergoes the first and second phase, the polish phase and it concludes with the final phase of the animation. This gave us an organized, good condition of working. Despicable Me released in July and received a lot of good reviews in America. The film released in France in the beginning of October.</span>
