This is the new film from Chris Sanders. He is the co-director of Lilo & Stitch and the first installments of How to Train Your Dragon and The Croods. DreamWorks Animation as a studio can be highly inconsistent in terms of their output. They've made stuff I love and stuff I can't stand. But Sanders hasn't made a film I haven't at least liked. So I am looking forward to this. I think the trailer looks great.
