Two decades of DreamWorks Animation’s works are set to arrive at the ArtScience Museum for an exhibition, Marina Bay Sands (MBS) revealed in a press statement.
Titled ‘DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition’, it will feature 31 films and more than 400 displays, allowing visitors to understand how these animation works make the leap from initial sketches to their big-screen debuts. These include blockbusters such as Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon.
MBS added that the exhibition, curated by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in collaboration with DreamWorks Animation, will feature exclusive concept drawings and behind-the-scenes footage of the creative process, together with character sculptures. Storyboards, reconstructions of DreamWorks’ real-life workspaces and specially commissioned interactive environments will also be put up on display.
ACMI CEO and director Katrina Sedgwick said: “The Australian Centre for the Moving Image is immensely proud to have collaborated with DreamWorks Animation to bring this amazing exhibition to life. Our plan was always to share it with the world after the enormously warm response from Australian audiences, so we are delighted that visitors to ArtScience Museum will now also have the chance to experience the creative world behind the on-screen magic of DreamWorks Animation.”
“ArtScience Museum in Singapore is the perfect venue to celebrate the incredible artistry of DreamWorks Animation’s films and we are thrilled to have them serve as the first host on our exhibition’s world tour,” said DreamWorks Animation’s co-president of feature animation Bonnie Arnold and Mireille Soria in a joint statement.
MBS also said visitors can expect to see 47 carved maquettes and in-depth video interviews with the production teams. There will be interactive opportunities throughout the exhibition that unveil the secrets of creative filmmaking and animation, it added.
Tickets to the exhibition will go on sale from 22 May and it will open from 13 June.
