Hi, I’m Norman J. LeBlanc. I’m a director and animator with decades of experience creating animated TV series and feature projects. I enjoy shaping ideas from early concept through storyboard, animation direction, and post-production, collaborating with international teams to deliver engaging stories. My credits include Scarry Larry, Commander Clark, W.I.T.C.H. (Season 2), Dragon Hunters, Malo Korrigan and the Space Tracers, Fly Tales and Bob Morane, and many other collaborations. Based in France with Canadian roots, I’m passionate about pushing creative boundaries and mentoring teams to elevate their craft, while leveraging tools like Toon Boom Harmony and modern CGI workflows to bring characters to life.
