Biography

Passionné depuis l'école secondaire par le dessin, Chris Renaud rejoint l'école d'art de Baum et sort diplômé de l'Université de Syracuse en 1989. L'illustrateur met alors son talent au service de l'industrie sportive, avant de réaliser son rêve et d'écrire des comics à la fois pour Marvel et DC Comics.

Travaillant ensuite chez Disney sur des programmes pour enfants destinés à la télévision américaine, il se fait remarquer dans le milieu de l'animation notamment grâce à The Book of Pooh, Tibère et la Maison bleue ou encore It's a Big Big World. Il collabore alors à des projets cinématographiques qui sont des succès au box-office : Robots (2005), L'Âge de glace 2 (2006) ou Horton (2008). Sa première réalisation, le court métrage No Time for Nuts (2006) qui reprend le personnage de Scrat (L'Âge de glace), est même saluée par une nomination aux Oscars.

Fort de ces succès, Chris Renaud signe chez Illumination Entertainment pour quatre longs métrages qu'il doit lui-même réaliser. Il crée ainsi en 2010 Moi, moche et méchant, qui séduit le public grâce à sa horde de Minions ; les aventures de Gru et de ses filles adoptives connaissent même une suite en 2013. Renaud donne également vie au Lorax (2012), petit monstre orange né sous les traits de crayon du Dr.

Scrat, the saber-toothed squirrel (a fictional animal from the Ice Age film series), while trying to find a place to hide his acorn, finds a buried time machine that states the date he's currently in (May 26, 20,000 BC) next to the ice-encased skeletal body of a human time traveler. He accidentally activates the machine, sending the acorn away. Scrat gets mad and tries to beat up the time machine and it sends him to the Middle Ages. Finding the acorn wedged under a rock, Scrat sees Excalibur and decides to use it as a lever to move the rock. He pulls out the sword but then finds himself under attack by a group of unseen archers, and uses the sword to block the arrows fired by the archers. He frees the acorn in the process and takes it and the time machine and races off to find cover, only to hide in the barrel of a cannon. The cannon fires him into the path of hundreds of incoming arrows. The time machine teleports the acorn mid-flight and Scrat just barely manages to activate the machine again for himself.

La période des fêtes est une très mauvaise période pour le Grinch. Et pour cause, il déteste Noël ! Malheureusement pour lui, les habitants de Chouville, le village d'à côté, adorent cette fête et la célèbrent chaque année avec une ferveur démentielle. Las de cette frénésie annuelle, le Grinch a décidé de voler la fête de Noël pour ne plus avoir à endurer cette maudite ambiance festive.

Minions are small, yellow creatures who have existed since the beginning of time, evolving from single-celled organisms into beings who exist only to serve history's most villainous masters. They find great masters—including a T-Rex, a caveman, an Egyptian pharaoh, Dracula, and Napoleon,—but after accidentally killing nearly all of them with their incompetence, they decide to isolate themselves from the world and start a new life in Antarctica. By 1968, the lack of a master to serve drives them into depression, so Kevin, one fearless Minion, plans to find a new one for them by going back out into the world. Stuart—a bored, teenaged minion who is obsessed with guitars—joins him reluctantly, as does an over-enthusiastic Bob, whom Kevin only chooses because of no one else willing to volunteer.

A dust speck is dislodged from its obscure place and sent adrift through the Jungle of Nool. At the same time, Horton the elephant (Jim Carrey), the jungle's eccentric nature teacher, takes a dip in the pool. The dust speck floats past him in the air, and he hears a tiny yelp coming from it. Believing that an entire society of microscopic creatures are living on that speck, he places it atop a clover. Horton finds out the speck harbors the city of Whoville and its inhabitants, the Whos, led by Mayor Ned McDodd (Steve Carell). He has a wife, Sally (Amy Poehler), 96 daughters (whose names all begin with the letter H), and one teenage son named JoJo (Jesse McCartney). Despite being the oldest and next in line for the mayoral position, JoJo doesn't want to be mayor, and because he's so scared of disappointing his father, never speaks. Once Horton begins carrying the speck with him, the city starts experiencing strange phenomena (earthquakes and changes in the weather), and the Mayor finds his attempts to caution Whoville challenged by the Town Council, led by the opportunistic yet condescending Chairman (Dan Fogler).
