While working on “The Cat In The Hat”, I heard of a project called “Bad Fairies”, another Warner Bros. Pictures animated movie, in partnership with the studio Locksmith Animation. The timing could have not been better and I joined “Bad Fairies” at Locksmith right after my Dneg gig, in August 2025. We wrapped up the layout in October 2026.
I worked on a total of 5 sequences as a Senior Artist and was sequence Lead on one of them.
It was such a joy to work on this one - a brand new IP, original and ambitious, with so many talented people involved. I’m truly looking forward to its release on 21 May 2027 (UK).
I really can’t share much at the moment, except for this poster that was revealed in Annecy, last June 2026, and signed by my lovely colleagues.
