-Dreamwork's first production
-Came out the same year as Bugs Life a Disney Production.
-Was under controversy for oppositely copying Disney bug life… the plot wasn’t the same but a lot of attention was brought to this new studio as they did something similar to a larger studio… this would be a reoccurring competitiveness the studio would do with some of their future films… producing animations a like their competition… like Antz and Bug Life.
- In an anthill with millions of inhabitants, Z 4195 is a worker ant. Feeling insignificant in a conformity system, he accidentally meets beautiful Princess Bala, who has a similar problem on the other end of the social scale. In order to meet her again, Z switches sides with his soldier friend Weaver - only to become a hero in the course of events. By this he unwillingly crosses the sinister plans of ambitious General Mandible, who wants to divide the ant society into a superior, strong race (soldiers) and an inferior, to-be-eliminated race, the workers. But Z and Bala, both unaware of the dangerous situation, try to leave the oppressive system by heading for Insectopia, a place where food paves the streets.

-first Stop Motion Film by Dreamwork’s

-Having been hopelessly repressed and facing eventual certain death at the chicken farm where they are held, Rocky the rooster and Ginger the chicken decide to rebel against the evil Mr. and Ms. Tweedy, the farm's owners.

-Dreamwork’s most iconic CG Animation
-487.9 million / to $50,000,000 budget
-Shrek was conceived to be a live-action/CG animation hybrid, but a test screening for studio executives in the middle of 1997 was deemed unsatisfactory. Dreamworks’ production partners, PDI (Pacific Data Images), were then tasked with making the animation for all of Shrek’s 31 sequences, with 1,288 shots in each sequence, and 36 different locations.

-Dreamwork's executives considered Tom Cruise and Leonard DiCaprio for Shrek, until Katzenberg offered Nicolas Cage the part. Cage told the Daily Mail that he turned the role down because "I just didn't want to look like an ogre." Though, upon reflection, Cage realized that "Maybe I should have done it looking back."

-Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers) whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters. They were all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). Determined to save their home -- not to mention his -- Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) to be Farquaad's bride. Rescuing the Princess may be small compared to her deep, dark secret.

- Megamind was originally going to be titled Mastermind, or Oobermind, but after a bit of deliberation, we were left with Megamind, after the character's name.
- Megamind, after being over analyzed for years, has found a massive fanbase, well after it's initial release thanks to it's non-pandering humor, surly adult snippets, and generally entertaining and emotional mature plotline
- Megamind was actually considered a failure by box office, despite it's current success, due to it's 'Lack of originality in the superhero genre'.
Megamind is a hit-classic, following the story of two aliens who's world's were destroyed during the same cataclysmic event, in a very superman-esq way. Our main character is the Villain Megamind, as he struggles to fit in during childhood, before finding his calling in Villainy, with his arch-nemesis being Metropolis Man, the other alien who appears completely human, with powerful abilities. However, when Megamind finally 'defeats' his foe, his joy is soon overcome by a lack of any meaningful purpose, and with this his redemption story kicks off.

# data[].attributes.body
Megamind as a whole went through leaps and bounds as a film, as do most, but it was recorded especially well in this case, with evolving concept art that pictures every forwards, and backwards, step of the movie

- Guillermo del Toro, a directing super power in his industry, played an important role in the creative processes of puss in boots, especially in the creation of character Humpty  Dumpty.
- The reason why the film has no overlap with Shrek is partly due to giving PiB a completely original story, but also thanks to directors not knowing what Shrek 4 would contain as a film.
- All pre-production of puss in boots included the giant, living and well, inside his house in the clouds, but producers couldn't find a way to put an original spin on the old fairy tale without deviating too much from the stories of old.
Puss in Boots is follows the adventures of a fugitive anthropomorphic cat, on the run from his past and trying to claim his future. One day he hears whisper of a treasure he's been searching for since his childhood, Jack's Magic Beans. Setting off on an adventure with an old frenemy Humpty-Dumpty and a new companion Kitty Softpaws,  the trio battle, escape and race to catch the golden goose of legend.

# data[].attributes.body
A long a waited sequel to puss in boots is coming, and pretty soon at that! With every old face that matters, and some amazing new faces, such as the director of Spider Man: Into the spiderverse, this will definitely be a fun movie

- RotG is one of the first dreamworks films to only have a single director with no co-director.
- RotG was originally a book series Called Guardians of Childhood, written by Joyce Williams
- The idea was inspired by Mr. William's daughter asking him if Santa had ever met the Easter Bunny.
Jack's first memory is that of being woken by the soft light of the moon above him, and the knowledge that it gave him- simply his name. After searching around for help from others, only to realize no one can see or interact with him. Hundreds of years later, Jack is a blooming spirit of winter, and has been reached out to by the Guardians, beings who's jobs are to protect the aspects of childhood like wonder, dreams, anticipation and curiosity. The guardians have just joined a fight against their greatest enemy, Pitch, the aspect of fear, and are in a race to defeat him before they are forgotten.

# data[].attributes.body
Scenes that contained good amounts of Sandman and Pitch where usually done in a self developed tool called OpenVDB, which would later go on to become open source in hopes of becoming industry standard, a dream they are still marching towards with passion.

- The film was originally a stop motion production by the same creators of Wallace and Gromit: Cures of the Were-Rabbit, under the name Crood Awakening.
- The story was just going to follow a pair of caveman, an inventor and a luddite (basically a conservative), which was the original concepts for Grug and Guy.
- The story actually has rather dark lore that states the Croods as some of the last cavemen, with the rest being mostly killed off thanks to the wildlife.
The Croods follows the adventures of an ancient caveman family, during the fictional age of the Croodaceous period, back when god was still figuring out what animals should look like. One seemingly normal night, right after a recent hunt, the Croods have gone to sleep but the rebellious teen Eep sees a bright light from the other side of her cave door (a boulder). following the light, she meets Guy, an inventive human, who warns her of the approaching apocalypse. When the events actually happen though, the family is forced to flee into an unknown land, where they again meet Guy and go on a new journey of growth and discovery.

The ideas for wildlife and fauna was actually considered a word-dump situation where everyone in the studio was asked for a made up animal name, and the artists would sketch up some simple ideas.

- One of the main objectives of DreamWorks' TBG is to put a new spin on the heist genre, in the same way that Shrek did on fairytales, and Kung-fu panda did on the kung-fu genre.
- Based off of the book written by Aaron Blabey, of the same name, only a few elements and characters are completely new, such as Tarantula and the more serious demeanor of Wolfie.
- The Bad Guys was received almost scarily well across social media platforms as users all over the internet were hooked on Wolfie's 'interesting' and charismatic personality.
In a world where humans and real furry's- sorry, anthropomorphic animals- co-exist, some creatures are labeled bad off the bat; introducing our main cast of criminals. The bad guys, who after being caught during a heist, agree to go good to avoid jail time.

The color's and appearance of the movie played a major role throughout production, and the crew wanted to emphasize every scene and it's underlying emotion far more, lending the movie a general warm tone, but also being occasionally cold and bleak.
