DreamWorks Animation LLC (often called DreamWorks) is an American animation studio. It is part of Universal Pictures, which is owned by Comcast's NBCUniversal. The studio has made 51 animated movies.
Their first film, Antz, came out on October 2, 1998. Their most recent film, The Bad Guys 2, was released on August 1, 2025. Upcoming movies include Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (September 26, 2025) and Shrek 5 (December 23, 2026).
DreamWorks Animation started in 1994 as part of DreamWorks Pictures. It was created by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen. In 2004, it became its own separate company. Later, in 2016, NBCUniversal bought DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion.
The studio first made some movies using traditional hand-drawn animation. They also made three stop-motion films with Aardman Animations. Now, they mostly use computer animation. However, in 2022, the company's president said they are open to making traditional animation again.
DreamWorks films have won many awards. These include three Academy Awards and many Annie Awards. Some of their most famous movies are The Prince of Egypt, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, and the Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon series.
Many DreamWorks films are among the highest-earning animated movies ever. Shrek 2 (2004) was the highest-grossing animated film when it was released.
DreamWorks Pictures first distributed the studio's films until 2005. Then, Paramount Pictures took over from 2006 to 2012. After that, 20th Century Fox distributed films from 2013 to 2017. Since 2019, most DreamWorks Animation films have been released by Universal Pictures. Universal also owns the rights to their older movies.

History of DreamWorks Animation
Starting DreamWorks SKG (1994–2004)
On October 12, 1994, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen started DreamWorks SKG. Spielberg brought artists from his studio, Amblimation. Katzenberg hired top animation staff from Disney.
In 1995, DreamWorks teamed up with Pacific Data Images (PDI). They formed a new company called PDI, LLC. This company would make computer-generated films. Their first movie was Antz in 1998. That same year, DreamWorks SKG also made The Prince of Egypt, which used both computer and traditional animation.
In 1997, DreamWorks worked with the British stop-motion studio Aardman Animations. They co-produced Chicken Run (2000). They later agreed to make four more films together. This partnership meant DreamWorks was involved in stop-motion films. Aardman also helped with some of DreamWorks' computer-generated films.
Later, DreamWorks SKG created DreamWorks Animation. This new part of the company would regularly make animated movies. DreamWorks also bought most of PDI (90%) and renamed it PDI/DreamWorks. This became the Northern California branch of their new animation division.
In 2001, Shrek was released and won the first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film. Because computer-generated films were so successful, DreamWorks Animation decided to stop making hand-drawn films after Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003). This made a total of five hand-drawn films.
After 2003, all films were made with computer animation. The only exception was the stop-motion film Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), made with Aardman. In 2004, DreamWorks Animation became the first studio to release two computer-generated animated films in one year: Shrek 2 and Shark Tale.
Becoming a Public Company (2004–2016)
On October 27, 2004, the animation part of DreamWorks became its own company. It was called DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. and its shares were traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Jeffrey Katzenberg led this new company. Spielberg and Geffen remained as investors.
On January 31, 2006, DreamWorks Animation made a deal with Paramount Pictures. Paramount would distribute all DreamWorks animated films worldwide. This included older films and 13 new ones. Over the Hedge (May 19, 2006) was the first film distributed by Paramount.
DreamWorks Animation's partnership with Aardman ended in November 2006 after Flushed Away. They said it was due to "creative differences." DreamWorks Animation still owns rights to films they made with Aardman.
On March 13, 2007, DreamWorks Animation announced they would release all their films in 3D. This started with Monsters vs. Aliens (2009). They worked with Intel to create a new 3D filmmaking technology called InTru3D.
In 2008, DreamWorks Animation expanded its work to Bangalore, India. They set up a special unit within Technicolor. This unit, called DreamWorks Dedicated Unit, helps with DreamWorks projects. It first worked on TV specials like Merry Madagascar (2009). Later, it also helped with feature films, starting with Puss in Boots (2011).
In 2009, the company moved its shares to the Nasdaq stock exchange to save money. From 2009 to 2013, Fortune Magazine often listed DreamWorks Animation as one of the "100 Best Companies to Work For."
In 2010, DreamWorks Animation planned to release five films every two years. That year, they released three computer-generated films: How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek Forever After, and Megamind. This made them the first animation studio to do so. Also in 2010, the company bought the rights to the Trolls franchise.
Growing and Expanding (2012–2015)
In July 2012, DreamWorks Animation bought Classic Media for $155 million. Classic Media was then renamed DreamWorks Classics. In August 2012, DreamWorks Animation also started a joint company in Shanghai, China. This company, called Oriental DreamWorks, would make Chinese films.
In August 2012, DreamWorks Animation signed a five-year deal with 20th Century Fox to distribute its films worldwide. Rise of the Guardians (2012) was the last film distributed by Paramount. The Croods (2013) was the first film distributed by 20th Century Fox.
On April 11, 2013, DreamWorks Animation bought the rights to the Trolls franchise from the Dam Family. They had "big plans for the franchise." In May, DreamWorks Animation bought the YouTube channel AwesomenessTV.
The next month, DreamWorks Animation announced a deal with Netflix. They would provide 300 hours of new content for the streaming service. This deal helped DreamWorks Animation have a more steady income. In July, they created a new television group, DreamWorks Animation Television. Margie Cohn became its head. In September, DreamWorks bought the TV shows from London-based Chapman Entertainment.
In February 2014, DreamWorks started a new publishing division called DreamWorks Press. It would publish books. In June, DreamWorks Animation bought the rights to Felix the Cat. The same month, the DreamWorksTV channel started on YouTube. In July, DreamWorks Animation bought back the distribution rights to their older films from Paramount. 20th Century Fox distributed these films until 2018. Then, Universal Pictures took over.
Towards the end of 2014, there were reports that DreamWorks Animation might be bought. First, SoftBank was in talks to buy it for $3.4 billion, but they later pulled out. Then, Hasbro was also in talks to buy DreamWorks Animation. The idea was to combine the companies and call it "DreamWorks-Hasbro." However, these talks also fell through.
On December 9, 2014, DreamWorks Animation announced they would start their own TV channel, the DreamWorks Channel. It launched in several Asian countries in 2015. Also in December, DreamWorks Animation sold 25% of AwesomenessTV to the Hearst Corporation.
On January 5, 2015, Bonnie Arnold and Mireille Soria became co-presidents of DreamWorks' feature animation division. Bill Damaschke stepped down as Chief Creative Officer. Two weeks later, PDI/DreamWorks closed down. This was part of bigger changes at the company after films like Mr. Peabody & Sherman and Penguins of Madagascar (both 2014) did not earn as much money as expected. About 500 jobs were cut.
Under Universal Pictures (2016–present)
On April 28, 2016, Comcast announced that its NBCUniversal division would buy DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion. Jeffrey Katzenberg would still be involved with DreamWorks New Media. Illumination's CEO Chris Meledandri was expected to oversee both studios. The sale was approved on August 22, 2016. DreamWorks Animation became a part of Universal Pictures.
DreamWorks Animation's last film distributed by 20th Century Fox was Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017). Their first film distributed by Universal was How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019).
Even though it was announced that Chris Meledandri would take over DreamWorks, he became a consultant instead. The two studios, DreamWorks and Illumination, remained separate. Bonnie Arnold and Mireille Soria stayed as co-presidents of DreamWorks' Feature Animation. Margie Cohn would lead the television animation for all of Universal Studios.
In January 2017, Christopher DeFaria became president of the DreamWorks Feature Animation Group. He oversaw all parts of the feature animation business. On February 15, Universal bought a small part of Amblin Partners. This brought DreamWorks Animation back together with a part of the DreamWorks Pictures label, its old parent company.
On August 1, 2017, DreamWorks Animation and Blumhouse Productions announced they would work on Blumhouse's first animated film, Spooky Jack. This film was later removed from the schedule. On October 6, Abhijay Prakash became COO of DreamWorks Animation. He was later promoted, and Randy Lake became the new chief operating officer.
On November 13, 2017, DreamWorks Animation started a shorts program called DreamWorks Shorts. These original animated short films would play before DreamWorks feature films. The first short was Bird Karma in Spring 2018.
On February 2, 2018, CMC Capital Partners bought out DreamWorks' share in Oriental DreamWorks. Oriental DreamWorks was then renamed Pearl Studio. Pearl Studio worked with DreamWorks to make Abominable (2019). On February 27, Kelly Betz became Chief Financial Officer.
On May 2, Hulu announced a deal with DreamWorks Animation. Hulu became the only streaming service for future DreamWorks films. Before this, DreamWorks films streamed on Netflix. On July 27, 2018, Viacom Media Networks bought AwesomenessTV. However, the DreamWorksTV YouTube channel stayed with NBCUniversal.
On November 6, 2018, it was announced that Chris Meledandri would help Universal and DreamWorks bring back the Shrek franchise. Meledandri wanted to keep the original voice actors. The first film from this collaboration, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, was released in December 2022. On January 9, 2019, Christopher DeFaria stepped down. Margie Cohn, who led DreamWorks Animation Television, was promoted to oversee all film and TV operations.
On January 16, 2020, five new DreamWorks Animation shows were announced for Hulu and NBCUniversal's new streaming service Peacock. On August 5, 2022, DreamWorks announced they would release their rendering software MoonRay as open-source software. It was released on March 15, 2023.
In October 2023, it was reported that DreamWorks Animation would rely more on outside studios for animation after 2024. This was part of a plan by Randy Lake. Sony Pictures Imageworks was named as an animation service for a sequel film in 2025, which was later revealed to be The Bad Guys 2. This film would use a "mixed production model." DreamWorks would do pre-production and some asset building. Imageworks would handle the rest of the asset building and some of the animation.
In November 2024, DreamWorks Animation celebrated its 30th anniversary. It was also revealed that the company would make live-action films for the first time. This started with their involvement in the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon, which was released on June 13, 2025.
DreamWorks Animation Logo
DreamWorks Animation uses a logo that came from its old parent company, DreamWorks Pictures. It shows a boy sitting on a crescent moon with a fishing rod.
From Antz (1998) to Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003), the studio used the original DreamWorks logo. This logo was drawn by Robert Hunt and animated by Wes Takahashi.
In 2004, DreamWorks Animation introduced its own logo. In this version, the boy flies up to the moon using balloons during the daytime. The music for this logo was taken from the song "Fairytale" from the film Shrek (2001). Harry Gregson-Williams, who helped compose music for Shrek and other DreamWorks films, adapted the music. This logo was used from Shrek 2 (2004) to Monsters vs. Aliens (2009).
In 2010, a new logo was shown. This time, the boy is fishing on the moon in outer space. An updated version of Gregson-Williams' music played with this logo. It was used from How to Train Your Dragon (2010) to Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017).
After Universal Pictures bought the company in 2016, DreamWorks Animation introduced another new logo. It starts with traditional animation and then changes to computer-generated imagery. A new song was composed by John Powell, who also worked on Shrek films. This logo first appeared in the trailer for How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World in 2018. The full animated version with music debuted with the film's release on February 22, 2019.
In November 2022, another new logo was revealed. In this one, the "Moon Child" flies on the crescent moon and meets several DreamWorks characters. These characters are from films like The Bad Guys, How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, The Boss Baby, Trolls, and Shrek. The logo then settles into its normal position. It uses a new version of the 2004 and 2010 music by Harry Gregson-Williams. This logo was first seen on November 22, 2022, and made its on-screen debut with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish on November 25. The characters in the logo can change. For example, in Trolls Band Together (2023), characters from Madagascar and The Croods appeared instead of some others. In Dog Man (2025), The Bad Guys characters are replaced by The Wild Robot (2024) characters, and Gingy is added.
How DreamWorks Films are Made
Many of DreamWorks Animation's films are made at their main campus in Glendale. Some films were animated or co-produced by Pacific Data Images (PDI). These include Antz, the Shrek films, the Madagascar film series, Megamind, and Mr. Peabody & Sherman. Parts of Puss in Boots and Penguins of Madagascar were animated at their DreamWorks Dedicated Unit in Bangalore, India.
Sometimes, DreamWorks also works with other animation studios. For example, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie was animated by Mikros Image. Spirit Untamed and Dog Man were helped by Jellyfish Pictures. The Bad Guys 2 is expected to be the first film to use a "mixed production model" with Sony Pictures Imageworks. This means DreamWorks will do some of the work, and Imageworks will do the rest.
Since 2014, DreamWorks has used its own animation software called Premo. Since 2018, they have used their own rendering software called MoonRay. This was first used on the short film Bilby.
Most DreamWorks films cost between $125 million and $165 million to make. Monsters vs. Aliens is their most expensive film, costing $175 million. After How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, DreamWorks films started to cost less, usually between $65 million and $100 million. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie cost $38 million, Spirit Untamed cost $30 million, and Dog Man cost $40 million.
DreamWorks does not have one specific style for its films. The studio focuses on the ideas of the filmmakers. This means their films can look very different from each other, like The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
Partnerships
DreamWorks Animation has worked with Hewlett-Packard since 2002. They use HP computers and servers. In 2005, they partnered to create HP Halo Telepresence Solutions. This technology helps people in different places talk face-to-face in real time.
In 2005, AMD agreed to provide processors to the studio for three years. This ended in 2008. DreamWorks then started using Intel Xeon processors for all future films, starting with Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. The same year, they announced InTru3D technology. This allowed DreamWorks to make all their future films in 3D, starting with Monsters vs. Aliens.
DreamWorks also works with NetApp for cloud-based storage. This helps the company complete its films. This partnership began with How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.
In 2020, Lenovo became the studio's data center partner. In 2021, Lenovo also became their preferred workstation partner. This ended DreamWorks' 19-year partnership with HP for workstations.
Parks and Experiences
DreamWorks Animation characters and stories are also used in theme parks and on cruise ships.
The DreamWorks Experience: Royal Caribbean Cruise Line
The DreamWorks Experience was a special program on Royal Caribbean cruise ships. It included character meetings, shows, parades, and dining. Characters from Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, and How to Train Your Dragon were featured. This program was announced in June 2010. However, it was removed from all ships on April 11, 2019, because the contract was not renewed.
The DreamWorks Experience: Gaylord Hotels (2011–2015)
In April 2011, the DreamWorks Experience was also announced for resorts in Nashville, Orlando, Dallas, and Washington, D.C. This was a four-year contract that ended on January 1, 2015. The new owners of Gaylord Hotels did not renew the contract.
The DreamWorks Experience: Dreamworld in Australia (2011–2022)
On November 10, 2011, the Australian theme park Dreamworld announced plans to add DreamWorks Animation films and characters to the park. This plan cost $10 million. On December 19, 2011, Dreamworld opened the DreamWorks Holiday Shrektacular Show. This show featured 8 DreamWorks Animation characters live on stage.
In February 2012, Dreamworld re-themed an area into the DreamWorks Experience precinct. This area officially opened on March 31, 2012. On July 15, 2012, Dreamworld closed a ride to build the final part of the DreamWorks area, called Kung Fu Panda: Land of Awesomeness. This new area included bumper cars called Skadoosh and a thrill ride called Pandamonium.
On November 24, 2022, Dreamworld announced a $55 million investment. This included a new themed area called Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland, which replaced the DreamWorks Experience area in 2023. Most of the rides stayed, but the Kung Fu Panda attractions moved to another part of the park.
DreamPlay by DreamWorks: City of Dreams Manila
The world's first indoor interactive play and creativity center theme park opened on June 12, 2015. It is located inside City of Dreams Manila.
DreamWorks Water Park
On July 11, 2012, then-CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg announced a DreamWorks Water Park. This would be an indoor water park at American Dream in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The park would have attractions from Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, How To Train Your Dragon, and later Trolls films. The park was delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It finally opened to the public on October 1, 2020.
DreamWorks Land
On July 20, 2023, Universal Studios Florida announced a new themed area called DreamWorks Land. It opened in 2024, replacing the old KidsZone space at Universal Orlando Resort. This area includes characters and themes from Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, Trolls, and Gabby's Dollhouse. The area opened on June 14, 2024.

DreamWorks Animation Home Entertainment was the part of DreamWorks Animation that handled home video releases.
DreamWorks Animation's home videos were first distributed by DreamWorks Home Entertainment until 2006. Then, Paramount Pictures bought DreamWorks SKG and made a separate deal with DreamWorks Animation. DreamWorks Animation Home Entertainment was then formed as a part of Paramount Home Entertainment. This started with the release of Over the Hedge on October 17, 2006.
After DreamWorks Animation made a deal with 20th Century Fox in 2012, the home video label moved to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. However, its name was no longer shown on screen. Paramount kept the rights to DreamWorks' older films until DreamWorks bought them back in 2014.
The deal with Fox ended in 2017 after Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie. This was after NBCUniversal bought DreamWorks Animation. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment then distributed DreamWorks' older films from 2018 to 2021. DreamWorks Animation Home Entertainment was then closed.
Currently, their releases are distributed by Studio Distribution Services. This is a joint company between Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
