In it's own interpretation of the superhero comic book genre, Megamind takes the familiar characters found on the paneled page - the brainy villian with an oversized head, the independant female reporter who never lacks a snappy comeback, the hero with great hair and V-shaped torso - and puts them in a radically new configuration in which the villian turns out to be the good guy.
On screen, Megamind's journey is one of moral maturation, but just as inspiring is the film's visual evolution during the development process. Inside The Art of Megamind you'll find how the talented drew at DreamWorks Animation combined Silver Age comics with heavy metal aesthetics, dramatic spaces like those found in high-concept spy films with visions of blighted urban outskirts, and real-world technology with classic car designs to create one of the most inventive movie experiences this side of Metro City.
