Biography
Canadian-born DEAN DeBLOIS is a film director, screenwriter and animator who is equally at home in the worlds of live-action and animation filmmaking.
Although already an accomplished animator and writer at the time the film became a worldwide hit, DeBlois is perhaps best known for co-writing and co-directing Walt Disney Animation Studios‘ Lilo & Stitch. He later stepped behind the live-action camera to direct the indie critical darling Heima, which documents alternative/post-rock band Sigur Rós‘ series of free, unannounced concerts performed in their home country of Iceland. He also previously served as head of story on the Disney hit Mulan.
He wrote, produced and directed the live-action comedy The Banshee and Fin Magee for Walt Disney Pictures.
DeBlois started his career at Hinton Animation Studios and worked as animator on the television series The Raccoons. He next joined Don Bluth‘s Sullivan Bluth Studios in Ireland and worked on the animated features Thumbelina and A Troll in Central Park.
