The authors of Ray Harryhausen: The Titan of Special Effects and The Frankenstein Complex offer you a new documentary about a legendary artist.

Stop-motion animator, designer, and director Phil Tippett has spawned some legendary creatures, from Jabba the Hutt to the giant insects in Starship Troopers.

But behind this brilliant Hollywood technician, who won Oscars for Return of the Jedi and Jurassic Park, there is a crazy artist, who spends his days experimenting in his studio with everything he can get his hands on. With unlimited access to Tippett Studio’s collections and archives, Mad Dreams and Monsters explores Phil Tippett’s legacy, from his collaborations with George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Paul Verhoeven to more personal works such as Prehistoric Beast and Mad God.
