Pierre Perifel, a name quickly rising in the animation world, is perhaps best known to collectors for helming DreamWorks Animation's stylish 2022 caper, *The Bad Guys*. This visually distinct film, with its comic book aesthetic and snappy dialogue, immediately became a favorite among animation enthusiasts, making its 4K UHD and Blu-ray releases particularly sought after for their vibrant picture quality and behind-the-scenes content detailing Perifel's unique vision. Its success also means anticipation is high for *The Bad Guys 2* in 2025, destined to be a day-one purchase for many. Before orchestrating the titular "bad guys," Perifel's animation prowess was evident in the acclaimed short films *Bilby* (2018) and *Le Building* (2005). While shorts typically see limited physical releases, their reputations among animation aficionados often lead to them being included as bonus features on larger studio collections or retrospectives, elevating the value of those sets. Perifel's journey from esteemed French animation schools like Gobelins showcases a foundational understanding of the craft that translates into the polished, collectible works he brings to the screen.
