With producer or creator credits on shows like Darkwing Duck, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Tad Stones could very easily have stopped and rested on his laurels. However, after leaving the Walt Disney Company in 2003, Stones took on a radically different project: direct-to-video animated movies based on Mike Mignola's Hellboy comics and the live-action movie adaptation directed by Guillermo Del Toro. The first movie, Hellboy: Sword of Storms, was first broadcast in October of 2006 and released on DVD the following February. The second, Hellboy: Blood and Iron, followed shortly afterwards in March, and followed the paranormal investigators of the B.P.R.D. into combat against vampires, werewolves, witches, and the evil goddess of magic Hecate. Toon Zone News had the chance to catch up with Stones via telephone about the production of Blood and Iron.
