Speaking about the character Belloc he said that he made the character to represent certain facet of a certain kind of a person or tendency which we generally see everyday.

Peter Chung said that a 2D movie is much different from a 3D flick and specially the textures in a 2D movie will have to flat but not in case of a 3D movie. However, he also said that mostly the directors make mistakes of moving the camera too much in a 3D animated movie which he avoided. “Firebreather” featured more iconic imageries with strong silhouettes, strong shapes and strong poses and the audience loved the whole movie for its balanced presentation. In the end Peter Chung said that “Firebreather” is an “accessible” story with emotional presentation and it would definitely be a visual treat for the viewers.
