We learned about a new member of the cast of Shrek 5 today. Dreamworks put out a brief cast announcement video that shows off our three main characters, Shrek (Mike Myers), Fiona (Cameron Diaz), and Donkey (Eddie Murphy), in what might be the animation style for the new movie. It's a little different from the last couple of […]
The Wild Robot was not only the best animated film of 2024 but also one of the best movies of the entire year, full stop. A good portion of you had excellent taste and went to see it in theaters because it made just under $330 million at the worldwide box office on a budget […]
The Bad Guys is one of Dreamworks' most underrated films, and it's so good that the studio saw beyond the fact that it wasn't exactly a box office smash hit (and by that, I mean it did $250 million on a $69-$80 million budget) and not only greenlit a sequel which will be out later […]
Universal is making some changes when it comes to animated movies today. For an entire generation of people, Shrek was kind of a defining movie moment for them. It was people who were raised on Disney films seeing someone making fun of the movies they grew up on for the first time. The film also […]
Last year, Dreamworks put out one of the best movies they have made in years with The Wild Robot and while it feels like that movie just came out, they are already back in theaters for another movie, this one called Dog Man. It's an adaptation of the insanely popular graphic novel series by Dav Pilkey. If you […]
The Wild Robot is one of the best films of 2024. It is a full stop, so there is no need to add any qualifier to that statement. Universal and Dreamworks must think the same thing because they decided to bring the film back to theaters on January 17th the other day. Once you've gone […]
The Wild Robot is one of the best movies of the year. That was a fact when it was released at the end of September, and it's a fact now, two days before the end of the year as well. It was a good year for animation in general; it says a lot when Pixar […]
After impressing the masses as an animated franchise, we're officially inching our way toward the release of a live-action How to Train Your Dragon based on Cressida Cowell's book series about a timeless story rooted in friendship and courage. With its highly anticipated release, the live-action version faces great expectations, especially considering the animated series' legacy […]
The Bad Guys might be Dreamworks' most underrated film. Maybe it was just bad timing on the part of the first film, but it never felt like it was able to find the audience it deserved. It was essentially Ocean's Eleven for kids. It was great to hear that Dreamworks and Universal could see the […]
We got the first teaser trailer for the live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon the other day, and so far, the reactions have been interesting. Some people seem kind of into it, while others wonder why Dreamworks and Universal are copying Disney's homework. Is this happening because there is a theme park in the […]
As you may already know, the beloved animated franchise How to Train Your Dragon is set to take flight once again, this time in live-action form. So, after the success of three cinematic releases, there are obviously a lot of expectations (and a costly price tag) associated with this revamped version of the popular animated […]
There is officially some justice in this world and we love to see it. The Wild Robot will be on a bunch of "best of" lists not only for 2024 but on "all-time" lists in the future because it's really that good. Sometimes, movies like that aren't well-received by audiences. When Transformers One underperformed despite being […]
The Wild Robot hits every single emotional beat. It is beautifully animated, effortlessly funny, and breaks your heart. Director: Chris Sanders Summary: After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot called Roz is stranded on an uninhabited island. To survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the island's animals and cares for an orphaned baby goose. In […]
The embargo for The Wild Robot is down, and it sounds like Dreamworks has a real winner in its hands. If there is a studio that is all over the place in terms of quality, it would be Dreamworks, but this film felt like something special from the first trailer that premiered months ago. While things coming […]
September continues to look very promising for animation, and The Wild Robot is one of the big reasons for that. Dreamworks has been a bit hit and miss for the last couple of years, but this movie looks like it might be one of the strongest entries the studio has put out in quite a […]
The Wild Robot is still looking like it could be one of the best things that DreamWorks has put out in a while, and the more footage we see, the more we stand by that statement. September looks like it could be a really fun month at the movies because we have a wide variety of […]
Animation fans are already having a great year, with Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 doing well at the box office, and one of them is doing very well critically. Animation is a genre that tends to thrive when everyone is doing well, so Pixar and Illumination doing well should be a good sign for […]
We knew that another Shrek film was in the works, but no one had anything definitive about the movie just yet. However, now we know at least something about Sherk 5. Dreamworks took to its official social media to announce that the film has been dated for July 1, 2026, and that original stars Mike […]
Since its initial release in 2001, the Shrek universe has spawned a total of five franchise films, with three under the Shrek umbrella and two separate Puss in Boots spin-off entries. The films have resulted in massive global success and a substantial $4 billion at the box office combined, which clearly implies that there are […]
Dreamworks is looking like the studio to watch in terms of animation this year, and isn't that a weird world to be living in? While Pixar looks like it's going down a weird hole of only focusing on establishing IP, prequels, and sequels, and Illumination is still doing its own thing over there, Dreamworks continues […]
