What's RUINING DreamWorks? 

Dreamworks is weird. Sometimes they release gold but then release shit. Rinse and repeat

"What's ruining Dreamworks?" *ad before video is trailer for Boss Baby* I wonder lmao

I seriously thought that Boss Baby was made by Illumination. That's the level that the movie felt like

DreamWorks: **Creates a vibrant universe fillled with monsters, aliens, and wizards** Also DreamWorks: Snails go slow? What if snails go fast? Good pitch!

One movie I liked a while back is Megamind. Shame no one really talks about that one anymore.

*Dreamworks*: Lets make a movie about the biblical story of Moses. *Also Dreamworks*: Hey, let's make a movie of a snail that's faster than Sonic the hedgehog.

Dreamworks: Lets make the villain of Kung Fu Panda a sadistic peacock who was directly involved in Po’s past. And we’ll make him a white peacock since the color white symbolizes death in Chinese culture. Also Dreamworks: What if the villain was a guy who’s upset that he’s no longer a baby.

"Good movie overall" he's acting like prince of Egypt isn't a 10/10

DreamWorks has an identity. The company that has spawned a great number of dank memes.

"The internet mocks [Shrek] all the time." Correction: The internet WORSHIPS him all the time.

The internet doesn't mock Shrek, we adore him.

I worked at DreamWorks from "Antz" through "Home" - to answer your question... 1. "Films by Committee." Singular perspectives and voices rarely succeeded. 2. With the exception of Shrek and Madagascar (which were actually made by PDI in Redwood City), sequels took way too long to materialize. A 10-year-old who loved a film, might not get a sequel until they were 15 or 16... too long! 3. For the most part, films were 'directed' by the Producers - not the actual Director(s). And rarely were any of the Producers actual former artists, writers or directors. The employees always knew how to fix it, but nobody at the top ever listened.

It's so easy to dismiss Dreamwork as Memeworks, but honestly they've come up with some great films. Prince of Egypt, HTTYD, Rise of the Guardians and Kungfu Panda are my favourites. And obviously Shrek and Megamind for some damn fantastic comedy.

the father: shrek the son: barry bee benson and the holy spirit: captain underpants

Dreamworks: “Somebody-“ Disney: *Sweats*

“I’m helping him sue the human race.” Me: *k den.*

Is it all ogre for DreamWorks? *cue audience laugh track*

I wish Dreamworks would do something like Prince of Egypt and Road to El Dorado again. The problem with their insistence in using 'hilarious' pop culture in pretty much all their films now is that it is way overused now and it's going to date the films horribly in a fairly short time.

"Occasionally an A-" *shows How to Train Your Dragon* I'm offended

I still defend Shark Tales as a hilarious mob movie parody.

DreamWorks was made out of revenge. But when you achieve revenge... what else is there left to do?

Hey Saberspark! I was an Animation student and attended Dreamworks, Pixar, and Disney recruiting presentations and you're absolutely right. Dreamworks presentations were always focused on technical spaces and look for pawns to do 'minor work' (like their television division) while Pixar and Disney are more focused on core virtues and looking for new blood and ideas. Dreamworks also, according to the recruiter, hasn't changed their main character designer team since THE BEGINNING. I've also met people who worked at Dreamworks and they always were very 'meh' about the experience while Disney and Pixar ex animators and art directors talked about their experiences as live changing.

My favorite Dreamworks films are Road to El Dorado, Shrek, Shrek 2, Madagascar trilogy, Over the Hedge, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, and Megamind.

Was I the only one that really liked and enjoyed the Rise of the Guardians?

"They made something that will change the animation world forever." *SOMEBODYONCETOLDMETHEWORLDISGONNAROLLME*

Whats ruining Dreamworks but every "Dreamworks" is replaced with the whole Shrek movie and every "Shrek" is replaced with the Bee movie and every "Bee" is replaced by a Saberspark video.

So in that Shrek win clip: Mike and Sully do forced smiles until the camera focuses more on them then it is real smiles, and Jimmy is holding up a clap machine while looking so disinterested. Who knew cartoons were such sore losers.

They made shrek Which was awesome They made HTTYD That was epic

Dreamworks should be proud Shrek and The Bee Movie are memes

The Internet doesn't Make fun of Shrek THE INTERNET IS SHREK

*Looking at DreamWorks today* "This stuff looks like crap." "Really? Let me see it." *Looks* "Hey, it is crap."

It seems that every time a new studio starts, Disney has a rival for the first time.

Road to El Dorado is so underrated

Some BODY Once Told me The woorld is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the she-eed

Rise of the Guardians will remain my favourite Dreamworks movie.

Oh shit I literally just realized while watching this that the SKG in "Dreamworks Animation SKG" stands for Spielberg Katzenberg Geffen. I always thought it was like LTD or something.

To me it's absolutely mindblowing that The Road To Eldorado wasn't as much of a hit as it was for me as a child. I LOVE that movie, and it has a great storyline as well; it tells the true worth of gold in comparison to fellowship. Not to mention that the animation is actually really good, topnotch humour, and the music is FANTASTIC since the Danish version (the one I grew up with) had a beloved Danish musician make all the soundtracks. And to this day, it remains some of the best music of his legacy. But that's just my point of view...

Well at least dreamworks is dominating in the meme department

Dreamworks 1 day: let’s make an action filled emotional adventure with dragons and Vikings Dreamworks another day: bees can not talk, what if bee talked? Snails go slow! What if go fast! Babies are dumb! What if babies could talk?

Their best three movies were roughly based off of a children’s book series. My fourth favourite(behind all 3 of Httyd) movie was based off of some children’s books. Disney: Their movies are pretty much all based off of a real fairytale, in some way.

TBH I love the Madagascar movies and don't care what people say.

Okay we can all agree Prince of Egypt, How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, maybe Shrek (1 and 2) are great movies, but I feel like Megamind, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Rise of the Guardian are underrated. anyone wanna agree or start and Internet argument?

The Madagascar franchise was my childhood. They seemed like incredibly fun storylines with passion, heart, and fun interesting characters especially the penguins and the old lady. I even had a Dreamworks Wii game when I was younger with the Madagascar characters.

UPDATE: - Ruby Gillman was a box office bomb. - Megamind sequel movie/series was released on Peacock. - NBCUniversal wanting them to rush productions like The Wild Robot. - DreamWorks are about to cut 40-50% of their creative staff. - DreamWorks are going full out-sourcing with Sony Imageworks.

Dreamworks had their chance to have it's own identity I feel. They could be the ones who targeted teens with more 'dark' humor and raw characters. Shrek and Antz are perfect examples for that. Teens don't want toys of the characters, they do however like wacky characters they can make edgy memes of.

I'm pissed at Dreamworks for green lighting a Trolls sequel but not a Megamind sequel.

Best of DreamWorks in chronological order (minus Aarmand): Antz Prince of Egypt Shrek 1/2 Kung Fu Panda 1-3 How To Train Your Dragon 1-3 Megamind Rise of the Guardians Tales of Arcadia Trilogy

I am disappointed, does no one remember Spirit: Stallion if the Cimarron?

Wait Shrek 5, sorry for being behind the times, but I thought Shrek was done after the 4th movie. It's called "Shrek FOREVER After", like happiliy ever after, the end. :(

I think that DreamWorks Pictures is alright. They’ve made below-average movies, (i.e. Shark Tale, Boss Baby, Home) but their best movies are OUTSTANDING. (i.e. How to Train Your Dragon series, Kung Fu Panda series, The Prince of Egypt)

I have to say, of DreamWorks films, Shrek, HTTYD and Kung Fu Panda were extremely good and I enjoyed them

I love DreamWorks's logo. That kid on the Moon.... it makes me feel so comfortable for some reason. Like....it's really comforting. I always love seeing it at the beginning of a movie.

*"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP"*

I really wish Dreamworks would've done more hand drawn animated movies like Prince of Egypt ;~;.

Prince Of Egypt is probably my favorite animated movie other than Iron Giant

19:18 Thank you. THANK YOU for saying "There are some few good stand-alone films on their library" while showing a clip of "Rise of The Guardians"!!!

I just don't understand how they can make kickass movies, followed by shitty ones. It's actually kinda sad to see their potential go to waste. They've already shown they can rival Disney and Pixar. The Prince of Egypt proved that DreamWorks could be better than it's competition. But no, let's make a movie about a snail that goes fast lol.

... They're making a fucking *fifth* Shrek movie?

Dreamworks is either a hit or miss but they always make a comeback with their good sequels

personally, I see DreamWorks as the animation company that isn't afraid to be dark and serious every now and then but can still make a joke. they don't make their films super vanilla to be able to market it to everyone. they take risks. and no it doesn't always pay off and they do make safe cash-grab movies. I see it as a company that cares about artistic integrity at least when they have a good marketable franchise on their hands. like Shreck, How to Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda. Pixar and Disney are monsters of a company. they pump out movies with a reputation as a family-friendly film and animation company to uphold. so DreamWorks has a lot more freedom. and even Disney is guilty of running franchises into the ground. hell, the majority of their sequels are nothing more than cash grabs and are never acknowledged again after their release. anyone can tell that they aren't made to be good or continue the story after 10 minutes into the movie. at least that's how it was with their older movies. modern Disney and Pixar are making sequels with a lot more careful now. if anyone here wants to dive into this kind of stuff more you should check out shafrillous productions. his icon is a big ol Tomatoa from Moana. he does reviews and analysis of mostly DreamWorks films and they are amazing. he is also pretty funny.

Disney is like.. untouchable now. Especially with buying LucasArts and Fox.

The one thing I love about Shrek the most in its comparisons to Disney is that it's the monsters who find true love in the end. While it is a massive piss take it also has a genuine message against Disney's beautiful heroes. Beauty is subjective and everyone deserves happiness 💚

Learning from Schraffillas, i know what Dreamworks’ identity should be and what they should run with. Stories where characters deal with the intricacies of finding meaning in their unexpected strengths they never know, they have. This can be evidenced from Shrek, HTTYD, Kung Fu Panda, Megamind, The Prince of Egypt, and the Road to El Dorado. I think this identity for their brand will be perfect for them and might come with consistent success. This is the most important part, factor, and strength Dreamworks has, and what other studios should have. Identity.

The internet DOES NOT mock Shrek, the internet ADORES AND WORSHIPS Shrek

"Kids want Lighting McQueen or an Elsa Toy. Not Shrek". Well, actually, that feels like the intention of the movie. Also, the Internet mocks Shrek out of love. And I actually have a whole other Theory of why Dreamworks sucks balls. Go on Wikepedia, and search Pixar films. You will find 16. Go on Wikipedia, and search Dreamworks films. No joke, you will find 34. Yeah, since 1998 they have made 34 fucking films. Their problem isn't that they don't have an identity. They have the exact same problem as Watchmojo.Com. They realease too often.

Rise of the Guardians is an amazing movie. While advertising, Dreamworks should have focused on the Guardians instead of the elves (trying to make them like the Minions).

You know Dreamworks did Small Soldiers a different version of Toy story but it was live action and violence for kids but it was hilarious funny.

Say what you want about DreamWorks, but Melmin, King Julian, Maurice, The Penguins, Po, Lord Shen, Shifu and Toothless will always have a place in my heart. Over the Hedge was great and funny too

I just realized the SKG at the end of Dreamworks Animation SKG stands for Spielberg, Katzenberg, and Geffen

A good portion of the company is based off of revenge towards Disney/DisneyPixar. The director of How to Train Your Dragon Chris Sanders worked for Disney until he and Lassater had a fight, and the original director of Brave quit and works for Dreamworks now. I feel like Dreamworks is the place you go when you can't get into Disney or when you're pissed off at them. I feel bad because there is some amazing talent put into these films, the animation for the most part has been phenomenal, but everything coming together is sloppy. I used to really hope Dreamworks would make something of themselves (and I'm a Pixar FANATIC) but now, I could care less. Really disheartening. At least we have our Shrek memes.

Me: Dreamworks: *YA LIKE JAZZ?*

What I love about Dreamworks is that they always try new things. All the other companies are known for something but Dreamworks does not have a label. It's always doing something different. And even if it sucks, hey, at least they tried something interesting and different.

Does anyone remember Megamind?

Am I the only one that actually liked Road to El Dorado?

**Shrek 5 announced** Moses: No.... NOOOOOOO

Saber: What's ruining Dreamworks? Also Saber: *Puts Shrek in thumbnail* Everyone: *Visible confusion*

Shrek is one of my favourite movies, unironically.

The problem is that DreamWorks is so inconsistent, they can make amazing masterpieces like the first 2 Shrek movies, How to train your Dragon 1 and 2 or they can make mediocre or shitty movies like Shark Tale or Trolls.

I love The Prince of Egypt. I watched parts again last night and it is so awesome. The songs. The scores. The animation. The human story. The emotions. Everything. The commentary is really interesting too. It’s one of my favourite films.

Take that A- back How to Train Your Dragon is at least an A or A+

We do not mock Shrek. We accept him as our god and creator.

Since Dreamworks has made so many memes I'm questioning why they haven't changed their name to "Memeworks".

I know five words to summarize this entire video.. Shrek The Third Ruined Dreamworks

Platinum Medal: Disney Gold Medal: Pixar Silver Medal: DreamWorks Bronze Medal: Illumination Crappy Participation: Sony Pictures Animation

HTTYD is the movie that got me into animation and encouraged me to draw and eventually lead me to digital art and animation/storyboarding. I owe a shit ton to the franchise and am crazy loyal to it but man, I don't get how they make movies like Shrek (a hit), HTTYD, Megamind, and Kung Fu Panda; good movies, but then think making a movie about a boss baby or a really fast snail would work.

Dreamworks has made some of the most stunning traditionally animated movies, The prince of Egypt had breathtakingly beautiful animation, the road to eldorado was so fun visually and story wise and the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron was a unique take on how animal movies were told with some of the most amazing animation out there. I feel if they followed the path that these movies took and possibly tried to bring 2D back since it will feel new and fresh, they would really stand a chance to make it big again! The road to eldorado failed in the box office due to advertisement and timing and if it was released and dealt with correctly in recent times it would have stood a much bigger chance thats for sure.

Dreamworks. The animation company that birthed so many memes.

I think that DreamWorks is better than Sony, Illumination, Or Blue Sky, but behind Disney and Pixar. For me personally, I grew up loving Shrek, Megamind and Kung fu panda.

> 0:53 implying HTTYD was an -A. My dude that film was an +A. In fact it was better than an +A, it was that saving grace extra credit that takes you from a -B to an +A.

Shrek, Madagascar, Flushed away, Kung Fu Panda, Megamind, and How To Train Your Dragon are all really good series.

Shrek 5: >Laughs in $Trillions

Alright, Magamind was an amazing underrated movie and Peabody and Sherman was no masterpiece, but it was still pretty good! They are both underrated and I think they deserve so much more attention (especially Magamind).

I'd say a lot of Dreamworks is really solid. Spirit is gorgeous, El Dorado is so quotable it hurts. It's not just about Shrek. Dreamworks is a company that tries things; they aren't burdened by keeping to their "identity". They can try anything, which is why we get odd hits like Kung Fu Panda. I hope Dreamworks continues to give me something unique and gives everyone a run for their money. But, with this said, I realize that not all of their choices (Boss Baby) are great. But then something like Prince of Egypt or Kung Fu Panda are gorgeous and touching. I think they are respectable and I will always be excited for them to release a new idea.

Damn. Road to el dorado is like number 4 in my top ten favorite animated movies of all time. I had no idea it wasn't well received

I still can't believe we got A Boss Baby TV Show, A sequel coming soon, and no form of continuation for Megamind or Rise Of The Guardians. 😒 Edit: Okay, Megamind is getting a TV Show, but Rise Of The Guardians is still left in the dust.

DreamWorks: let's take the basic idea of a book about dragons and make it into our own cool idea Also DreamWorks: let's work with Netflix to make a mediocre animated show that's 'based' off that one book from before and hope people don't notice

Nobody talking about “Spirit”? It’s my all-time favorite animated movie :D

*The pizza is aggressive*

DreamWorks has amazing 2d animated movies and all of them were amazing and terribly underrated. At least they have a, imo, perfect track record with their dead 2D branch.

Not to hate but I don't think you mentioned Croods or at least showed a clip in your vid. It's always been my mom's fav movie & was made by Dreamworks.
