Why Is DreamWorks so Inconsistent? 

It's either funny or sad how PiB 2 made everyone forget how inconsistent Dreamworks actually is.

Sometimes movie studios released good movies on 1 year, and then bad to mediocre in other years, it depends on directors and writing.

Tbh I think one of their problems has always been how many movies they make - they’ve been releasing 2 or even 3 movies a year pretty consistently for decades and that stretches staff thin, especially for the movies that aren’t surefire successes and probably get less resources

I think Schaffrillas said it best about DreamWorks. It’s the Adam Sandler of the animation studios.

“I am the Kung Fu Panda.” Jack Black deserved better than another Kung Fu Panda movie after the third *AND FINAL* one!

2010 was the only year Dreamworks had multiple good movies release. Megamind, How to Train Your Dragon, AND Shrek 4 in the same year

Everyone thought that Puss in Boots 2 was going to be a major turning point for Dreamworks. Then Ruby Gillman flopped, Megamind 2 existed, and Kung Fu Panda 4 was unfortunately underwhelming. Puss in Boots 2 was an anomaly. However, The Wild Robot looks really good.

Personally, I don’t mind the inconsistency that much. It just goes to show that every studio has their ups and downs.

The problem is no one can let a series END. Doesn't matter if it's a horror villain with stupid plot armor, a kids movie series with loveable characters or a tv series that jumped the shock. If enough writers say yes to a stupid "what if..." the series will continue

Hey y'all, I apologize for the reupload, the original got deleted so I'm reposting it now. Thank you for watching these videos, your support means the world to me! :)

* How to train your dragon movie adaptation gets announced * People who read the books: the books will be better Dreamworks: hold my beer

Bee Movie is a masterpiece. That movie is absolutely hilarious.

What I'm about to say again in the last one that got deleted. It's kinda amusing how the moment Puss in Boots Last Wish came out and became highly successful, many Disney haters were gloating Dreamworks was gonna replace Disney as the dominant animated movie company but they than all went silent after Teenage Kraken came out.

DreamWorks really needs to change

Yo, let’s go! Haha, I just watched the first video like 2 hours ago ago! Haha! The risks Dreamworks takes make their movies, adds something even to their “worst” movies. I’ve watched The Bee Movie and Sharktale for fun and nostalgia, but their safer movies, I’ve probably only over seen once or twice.

Dreamworks taking risks is definitely the biggest reason imo, but this year and last year, everything was just so safe. Especially Kung Fu Panda 4, which is really upsetting because Kung Fu Panda 2 is tied with Into the Spiderverse for my favorite movie of all time. You have a movie that takes no risks at all and then you see just two movies before in the same franchise, it tackled literal genocide and overcoming trauma. Tell me another animated movie that tackles those issues and isn't a war movie

Bro, How did you forget about Madgascar?!? Also one of my most favourite movies of all time is Penguins of Madagascar, its just such a fun movie to watch alone or with your bros or family. Also it's a great movie that has a mixture of everything. Captain Underpants is another great movie that I liked, it's not for all, but it is a hilarious movie to watch and the humor is great. Puss in boots 2 though will most probably be in my top 3 best animation films of all time.

They may have made Shrek the Third, but never forget that they made Kung Fu Panda 2.

Hopefully The Wild Robot will be a great film

The wild robot is an amazing book, so I hope the movie does it justice!

Bee Movie is true art!

Trolls band together is the best trolls movie with original songs. A great thing about it, is that the songs are actually catchy and the singing voice actor for the villain is getting a lot more attention thanks to trolls 3. It’s definitely a good watch and a good dreamworks movie.

I've joked for years that Dreamworks runs on a two-team system. Team 1 works primarily on mid-to-trash-tier movies, which generate the revenue needed to satisfy their investors, who are then willing to fund what Team 2 is working on--which is always the unequivocal banger that is so good it manages to save Dreamworks' reputation. As for what makes (most of) their sequels so good, I think a lot of it comes down to the way they approach making said sequels. Instead of focusing on all the stuff that made the first movie popular, they try to progress their characters' development in a way that feels logical. The HTTYD series for example starts with Hiccup changing his tribe's mind about dragons by training them, then the second has him go up against someone whose mind he CAN'T change, forcing him to fight back alongside the dragons, and finally the third sees him growing into his own person--one who is strong enough to lead, protect, and sacrifice even when it's no longer possible to live with dragons. Each movie leads into the next while also giving each its own unique story, themes, and stages of character development. In other words, it feels like a proper STORY, not a cash-grab. Love your sense of humor and the skits you do, btw. I'm excited to see the channel grow more in the future!

Dreamworks only one who takes risks makes me want to see any movie they have for possibility being a banger.

Bee movie is a comedic masterpiece

Finally, someone else who noticed this

Dreamwork’s newest movie coming this year is the Wild Robot and it’s really good!

Lots of people don't understand that Megamind vs the doom syndicate is actually just a pilot episode for the Megamind rules TV series. It has been getting mistaken by many people to be a sequel to the first movie. If it was a sequel to that movie, it would have truly been animated by Dreamworks with a higher budget, had the number 2 on it's logo and be released theatrically instead of being right away put on streaming.

Hey, what are you trying to say about The Bee Movie?????

I actually thought that Band Together was the best of the Trolls movies. I know, that's a low bar, but I enjoyed watching it.

I love shark tale tho 😭

Yeah, consistently inconsistent…

Dreamworks made the first 2 transformers movies the most incidents movie franchise of all time right behind godzilla.

Dreamworks should do an MA 15+ Godzilla animated movie and be the first ever to be in cinemas since the earth trilogy as t

Well, many people cares about Ruby Gillman and the film has it's fans, even I cared about it too and I loved it. It became the most viewed movie on Netflix.

Meanwhile, in the alternate universe, Megamind 2 and Kung Fu Panda 4 were super great!

1:40 i hate that movie that i wish that movie never existed

After Megamind and Kung Fu Panda 4 at least there's one bright spot to DreamWorks at least they're re-release of Shrek 2 20th anniversary is still making more money in the theaters this shows that DreamWorks care for Their audience i hope they'll go back to making Original Stories with the wild robot.

Nobody is perfect, and its true. But it all honesty, someday, DreamWorks will have their touch again, they kinda have a little fever right now like with sone other studios like walt disney anination, and Pixar

Everybody's forgetting about Orion and the Dark.

To me, it’s actually based on who the staff is behind the film. I do have to say I’d love for DreamWorks to make a Splatoon movie with Nintendo. It could be good bad or OK, depending on who the writers are.

It’s simple: There’s no Brain Trust overseeing everything at DreamWorks like there is at Pixar. They just let each team of filmmakers do whatever they want. However you feel about the current Pixar lineup, you can’t deny that their movies have a much stronger level of cohesion between them than any other studio, and the Brain Trust is why. Same reason why Sony Animation made Emoji Movie and Spider-Verse back to back: zero oversight on either, both left alone to create completely opposite results.

Lets hope this streak of low quality films means that we have The Last Wish level films coming soon (Looking at you, The Wild Robot)

Uh wild Robot is not an original dreamworks movie by the way it's based on a book by the way Not sure if you knew about that

Honestly compared to the disasters that were ice age continental drift and ice age collision coarse; I don’t think kung fu panda 4 is that bad compared to those. It’s just mediocre and definitely full of wasted potential. Also I like 4th movies in franchises. Examples I’ll include: Star Wars 4 or 1 depending on how you watch them, Indy 4, Shrek 4, Avengers 4, alien: resurrection, x-men: first class, and Jurassic world.

Why do people dislike The Bee Movie so much? I personally found it fun and utterly bonkers and extremely funny. I of course dont think it even comes close to the best Dreamworks movies, like How to Train Your Dragon and such. I would say it's about as good as Over the Hedge, Up and Frozen (i know Up is a Pixar movie)

Dreamworks perfected this kind of strategy to publish couple of lame, horrible, easy to sell movies in a row - in order to get money to make a real banger once a few years

Very thoughtful!

Hey the bee movie is goated okay

Even if Dreamworks is up and down with their movies and sequels I still beg them to turn Rise of the Guardians into a francise like How To Train Your Dragon. The world it created is so magical that I want more. It is my favorite movie. The team behind it are oscar winners and they have talent.

ive seen some people who started watching dreamworks after puss in boots 2 and I told them dont be surprised when they release some meh movies because they are THE MOST inconsistent studio of all time

I consider Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas much better than mediocre. But I agree with the video's overall thesis. You never know whether Dreamworks is going to make a cool move or a fool move. I imagine I'd enjoy working as a director for Dreamworks more than for, say, Disney because I'd probably have more creative freedom. But by the same rule, I'm less likely to call myself a fan of Dreamworks, as opposed to a fan of individual Dreamworks movies, since if you like one, there's not much guarantee you'll like others.

I actually like Bee Movie

After Puss in Boots: The Last Wish came out, I found myself on a bit of a Dreamworks kick so I ended up watching a ton of their movies (both the good and the bad). It’s so weird how a single studio can pump out a film as good as Shrek 2 and as bad as Shark Tale in the same year and this weird inconsistency is clearly not stopping any time soon. Megamind 2 was awful and Kung Fu Panda 4 was something which I personally enjoyed but a lot of people really didn’t BUT The Wild Robot later this year looks absolutely amazing. But, to be honest, the inconsistency is kind of why I like Dreamworks. It’s always a gamble whether their new film will be good but it’s kind of exciting at the same time and I think it makes their amazing films a lot more notable for me. Even then, I find a lot of their bad movies like Bee Movie and Shark Tale to be really entertaining in an ironic way Anyway, this was a brilliant video and it was great to hear your two sense on this issue

Yep there is no Megamind 2, doom thing isn't sequel but long tv episode

Yeah,there consisteltly incosis tent!ALSO:Did you know that SHARKTALE was nomianted for an oscar?!(really im not joking!)Oh and Monsters vs Aliens...should it be called bad or even mid?No.Should it be called a masterpiece(like httyd)No.Its just good(DWs most overhated film)....also still holding out for a sequel to Rise of the Guardians!(Dws most underated film)

The Sonic The Hedgehog of the animated world.

DreamWorks Animation hires different filmmakers to make different kinds of movies. Not all of them are gonna be winners, but it's a fool's errand to expect them to hit a homerun every time. I think DreamWorks is gonna be just fine, especially since Jeffrey Katzenberg isn't there to ruin everything with his pettiness.

Thats what makes them good. You don't know what to expect from DreamWorks. Also I can't really think of a bad Dreamworks animated movie.

I think with Disney being very meh and even bad lately, a lot of people started putting their faith into Dreamworks with Puss in Boots 2 and The Bad Guys being pretty good films both visually, and story wise. I want The Wild Robot to be a silent film (no voice acting), I would love to see this robot just interact with the world, and learn to protect it by admiring its beauty. I don’t need some Siri voice for this robot, cause who’s it gonna talk to? The rabbits? They ain’t talking back, and if they do, I don’t wanna watch the movie.

Wow, deja vu

People are calling the Bee movie Shark Tale and Monsters vs Aliens bad movies?

Actually, Megamind 2 wasn't made by DreamWorks, just some company called Peacock, and Kung Fu Panda 4 was a terrific movie, you just don't understand.

They probably didn't mix probably

Puss in boots trolled us for real

I guess whether you love it or hate it, it's a DreamWorks movie so there's always going to be inconsistent and people always going to have opinions on it. For example, my mom hate Shrek 2, Megamind, and Kung Fu Panda 2. On the other hand, people like it.

I don’t know. They’ve been that way since the beginning. Why don’t you ask them??

I liked trolls, definitely better than first two.

My favorite dreamworks movie is puss in boots the last wish and my least favourite dreamworks movie is shrek the third and turbo

Trolls BLAND Together. I don't care about that movie.

They’ll make a fantastic movie and then make BOSS BABY.

Yeah that's a good question why is DreamWorks so inconsistent?

I liked bee movie. It was hilarious, and vanessa was quite hot, not gonna lie. The boss baby was so bad, my mother got angry as soon as we got out of the theater. Jack black singing baby one more time was excellent. Despicable me 4 looks promising to me.

I rather have something inconsistent. Then consistent dogshit

Ok Trolls 3 was good tho

I kinda prefer Dreamwork over Pixar and Disney.

But kung fu panda 4 was good! What drugs are you on?

Am I the only one who thinks PiB 2 wasn’t worth all the hype? It was just ok in my opinion, it wasn’t some sort of revolutionary animated film like everyone else was saying, it was an ok 1 hour kid’s movie

Kung fu panda was good

5:21 You are being a dreamworks biased hypocrite, that was true in the past but turbo and Ruby gillman were terrible Disney ripoffs with turbo being a soulless ratatouille ripoff and kraken being a soulless Luca ripoff, and you talk about Disney sequels Kung fu panda 4 was a terrible soulless mess worse than Ralph Breaks the internet. I can’t wait for Disney to enter anew resurgence not just I want them to make good movies but then everyone will stop generating stupid excuses for dreamworks making F their movies😤

When it comes to Dreamworks 2D animated films I wouldn't said they are generally bad. On the contray, I found them pretty good (some of course better than the others) and one of the main reasons they did poorly at the box office was the fact that in the early 2000s 2D animated movies had a really bad time, especially when they had to rival with brand new 3d animated movies.

Ever since Megamind 2 and KFP4 hit the scene, some people were saying that Dreamworks was becoming Disney, like they were "becoming the very thing they swore to destroy" and whatnot. Jokes or not, that notion is complete horse shit. The worst of Dreamworks is nowhere near as bad than the worst of Disney.

Bruh everyone acts like Orion and the Dark doesn’t exist. Even though it’s an actual Dreamworks film that came out this year on Netflix unlike Megamind 2 and the film is really good.

Watch a positive review on kung fu panda 4 instead of this garbage!

I enjoy Kung Fu Panda 4. I love Puss in Boots The Last Wish.

Because unlike Disney they want to take risks and don't care if it's not a box office hit or failure and that's why I'd rather support them then Disney.

Antz bad? I loved it and boss baby was great I can relate because I have a brother and things in the movie was spot on

Bruh I LOVED Sinbad, why are good movies being shit on for no reason? This happened with Treasure Planet too

Kung fu panda 4 is the terrible disappointment you entitled DreamWorks fans deserve.

why does everyone dislike kung fu panda 4. if kung fu panda 2 wasnt as good as it is, 4 would be the best one! oh and dog man is coming out next year so im excited for that

Isaac Murdock, You're amazing! Let's be friends and have fun together!

Seriously, there was nothing wrong with Kung Fu Panda 4. People are being overdramatic.

DreamWorks was always inconsistent. In 2008, Madagascar 2 was awful, and kung fu panda 1 was a staple of my childhood. 🐼☯️🥡🍪🥠🍜🥮
