24. Aron Warner - Oscar winning producer of Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, Wish Dragon and more!

Aron Warner was the producer of DreamWorks' first CG animated feature, Antz. He then won the first ever academy award for an animated feature as the producer of Shrek, before going on to produce Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third, working with Jorge Gutierrez on The Book of Life and more recently, Wish Dragon. Before all this, Aron had a career in live action films, from horror films like Freddy’s Dead - The Final Nightmare, to big budget blockbusters like Independence Day and True Lies. In today’s episode of the Creators Society Animation Podcast I sat down with Aron and tried to cover as much of his career as we could in the time we had! With all his success, Aron is as humble as they come, always singing the praises of the great teams around him - a real pleasure to chat to. Enjoy!
