DreamWorks Animation Is Falling Apart Behind The Scenes...

DreamWorks as a company has had a very strange couple of years. With the release of The Bad Guys and Puss In Boots The Last Wish, it seemed like they were on top of the animation world, with their new art style and affinity for creative innovation. But then following that we've had the likes of Megamind 2, Kung Fu Panda 4 and Trolls 3. Where they've simultaneously lost their initial charm. And now it seems these may be the last squeak of decent content, as rumours are burgeoning out that the production behind DreamWorks' studios are looking to make some major changes. Be it from a 50% staff cut, to outsourcing more projects away to smaller animation houses, it seems the IPs behind DreamWorks and the people that create them are being mishandled in an effort to make cheaper, and far easier content. And it's all timed in advance to a unionist meeting with TAG (The Animation Guild). It's the classic corporate tale. So lemme tell you the murmurs of what's potentially next...

Remember when we all thought Puss In Boots 2 was going to be the start of a new golden age for DreamWorks? Now it feels like we're getting a Universal version of the dark timeline where Circle 7 took over for Pixar. Shrek 5 being crapped out by Illumination now feels like a very real possibility.

apparently Stephanie Ma Stine (the co director for kung fu panda 4) said that there were supposed more story elements than what we were shown in the movie. she said that if they were to bring back tai lung there would have to be a reason for it. the reason is shifu he was supposed to have an arc in this movie regarding tai lung but the dreamworks executives kept trying to cut costs, this also explains why the furious five did not show up in the movie

The director also felt that a comedic movie was more impt and had control of all creative decisions. Whenever she suggested something, to him or the writers, it was thrown out. Apparently the writers also refused any constructive criticism from anyone, and the original character designer left DW a week into working on the movie. I feel bad for them. DreamWorks had a recipe for success and squandered it.

@@ShockwaveFPSStudios But Dreamworks Animation Television isn’t a studio of their own. They’re a production company that contracts out to countless animation studios. That’s why Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness was pretty good, why Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts was great, and why Megamind Rules is garbage. Kung Fu Panda LoA was animated by Paprikaas and Oktobor, Kipo was animated by Studio Mir, and Megamind Rules is animated by 88 pictures. This is the inconsistency that outsourcing brings. There’ll be some high highs, but the lows are infuriatingly low…

according to a leak Kung Fu Panda 5 and a Furious 5 movie are in production - According to many sources the next installment of the Kung Fu Panda franchise is currently in development slated for a 2028 release. Dreamworks has fully acknowledged the disappointment from fans when it came to Kung Fu Panda 4 and is attempting to fix their mistakes with this film. The current suspected director for this is Jenifer Yuh Nelson who also directed Kung Fu Panda 2 and 3. Mike Mitchell who directed Kung Fu Panda 4 is suspected to not return to this franchise any time soon. The film is currently in it's early planning stages, and animation is slated to begin sometime in mid to late 2025. That is not all the news for the Kung Fu Panda franchise however, as a Furious Five stand alone film is planned for release in 2027. This movie takes place during the events of Kung Fu Panda Four, and viewers will get insight as to what ''mission" the Five were on during the events of the film. It is expected for there to be massive recasts for all of the Furious Five, however the only VA who is currently confirmed not to return is Jackie Chan for ''Master Monkey'' This film will be much more serious in nature when compared to the previous four Kung Fu Panda films. Dreamworks is aiming at a tone that is slightly darker than Kung Fu Panda 2. This film is being directed by Joel Crawford, who also directed Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and The Croods 2.

I think it might have started earlier, with the Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans movie. They replaced the original team of writers and outsourced the animation to at least three different studios. And all of that showed, that movie was a disaster in every way. DreamWorks has shown they're still capable of doing great movies, it's a shame Universal doesn't care about them anymore.

I love Dreamworks more than Disney tbh but my problem with them is that they decide the quality of their movies by the flip of a coin. One time it's a masterpiece, one time it's bad, and goes on. And the fact that there are massive layoff and new directors and writters and all don't make it better especially when its their tv branch and Peacock who animated Megamind 2. What worries me now is that they are the ones that will make The Bad Guys 2 and Shrek 5 and i'm worried about their fate. Also last note. I'm going to be honest in that front, peoples REALLY should STOP calling a studio god or golden age everytime they are making a hit movie or calling them bad and screaming about downfall when they make a miss movie, it's seriously annoying and well all know DW is the perfect example of Hit or Miss. That's not because they made 1 or 2 good movies that the following ones will be absolute masterpieces, and that's not because they made 1 or 2 bad movies that all the following ones will be bad.

You ain't wrong. But the issue with movies being outsourced is that these smaller animation Studios are non-unionized, which is a massive issue because that means more American animators would probably be left job-less. Not to mention the fact that American studios and animation Studios in other countries don't really have the best solutions when it comes to communication.

that’s not really comparable at all - dreamworks is not a Lackadaisy-size company. they have a huge amount of money and influence. outsourcing doesn’t just mean that someone else is making the animation, it means that someone else with less bargaining power & less creative investments in the project are making it. Dreamworks isn’t an animation studio after this, they’re just a wrapping paper around a rube goldberg money-making scheme.

He also said that he wants to explore the oceanic animals for this movie because the armour of Master Dolphin exists. We haven't seen aquatic animals, really. Finally, he mentioned that he'd also like to see insect characters like Mantis appear. He isn't sure what kind of direction the movie will take, but if he ends up being a major part of it, this is possibly how the 5th film may happen.

hay Dazz, a lot of other background things may be going on. As in DreamWorks is just unable to produce mega hits like they used too. Thus, they are unable to compete with other companies production. A lot of these is just the cost of production (and somewhat marketing) going way up and the returns just are not there anymore. Remember, they may report how much it cost to actually make a animated movie, but they DO NOT repost how much the movie theaters take and usually dose the total spent on marketing.

What worries me now is that they are the ones that will make The Bad Guys 2 and Shrek 5 and i'm worried about their fate. Also last note. I'm going to be honest in that front, peoples REALLY should STOP calling a studio god or golden age everytime they are making a hit movie or calling them bad and screaming about downfall when they make a miss movie, it's seriously annoying and well all know DW is the perfect example of Hit or Miss. That's not because they made 1 or 2 good movies that the following ones will be absolute masterpieces, and that's not because they made 1 or 2 bad movies that all the following ones will be bad.

If any company would have the ability to pony up the cash to buy DreamWorks, it would be their sister studio Illumination. Which is already under the same Universal Studios/Comcast corporate umbrella, making the point kinda moot. No in the future it'll be more likely that Illumination and all the money it keeps bringing in, will allow Universal to buy out Disney like they wanted to in 2006.

Honestly, in my personal opinion ever since Dreamworks was brought by Universal Pictures in 2016, they been making more mediocre products than good nowadays. Back in their early years despite being a mixed bag they were a lot more risk taking, unlike now while they still do pull out occasional bangers, they feel a lot more safe, and stale ever since they were brought by Universal. You have stuff like Boss Baby and Troll which make it seem like Universal is turning Dreamworks into the new Illumination and you have others film such as Orion and the dark and The Bad Guys which as based on books. Universal doesn't even seem to put them in much faith nowadays considering the fact some of their films were barely advertise only known due to word of mouth. Say what you want to say, but while I do think that Dreamworks is way more successful in Films than Disney both critically and Financially that doesn't mean the gap is that large. They ironically became what their original owners were against.

Back when I graduated art school, it was pertty standard practice for France and Canada to be bastions of animation because they have a lot of government subsidies and programs that encourage artists to actually pursue their craft; they have tons of grants and other ways you can get money to fund an animation studio, especially if you can hire a few other people and offer employment through that subsidy or grant - so a lot of animation studios operated there and did like small commercial work while also working on a larger feature film that would be going for the festival circuit later on. Basically they work there not because it's 'cheap' for animators to work there, but because they can actually get paid living wages between the Government helping them and them getting paid crap money as per industry standard - combined it's like, better. Doesn't make it ideal though.

Oh no, I didn't know all of this. I've been wanting to work at Dreamworks for years, this is so disappointing!!! My favourite moment was all of How To Train Your Dragon. Such beautiful movies. They really shaped me as a person

Yes, France is a massive tax / money haven for animation production companies. 💸 - Wages are way lower. - Healthcare is free* (meaning you don't factor it in salaries). - There is a special kind of unemployment insurance scheme that gets abused to hire/fire crews ad-nauseam. - Grants from the government to help the arts and animation still apply to AAA brands (e.g Universal) projects. And so is Canada. (For reasons similar to the ones listed above) *You still pay for a third of your care and most medicine, but it's not 500$ for an xRay.

Teenage Kraken, Trolls 3, The Bad Guys Christmas Special, the rest of their garbage shows, the rest of their garbage specials, the rest of their garbage shorts, Orion, Megamind 2, Megamind Rules, KFP 4, and etc. are way more than 2. And they are way more lazy than Disney. Disney right now is in a great spot unlike DreamWorks.

Im not surprised puss in boots 2 and how to train your dragon 3 are the only dreamworks movies in the last 5 years that have actually been worth watching and that didn't feel like shameless cash grabs and also the marketing for most dreamworks is terrible too, they always show the worst jokes from the movie and make the movie look like some harmless forgettable kids movie and make the movie look less interesting than it may actually be.

As a french animator who has worked on TV shows for some american studios (like dreamworks), sadly we're still too expensive for greedy producers. We're currently experiencing a massive hole in employment because they keep wanting to cut corners, so a lot of productions are being moved elsewhere with even cheaper workforce, AND many productions are on hold until they figure out just how much of the pipeline they can simplify via AI rather than create with expensive human workforce. It's a mess for all of us

If Ruby Gillman never failed at the box-office,DreamWorks would've never given up animating movies in-house and started outsourcing to other studios. What a dark day we live in now,since Walt Disney Animation Studios,Pixar,Sony Pictures Animation ,and Illumination will be the only animation studios in Hollywood animating their movies in-house now,while DreamWorks,Paramount,Warner Bros.,and Netflix will now outsource their animation to other studios. We need another animation studio created and opened in Hollywood,a fifth one that would animate it's movies in-house now for a major studio to fill the void that DreamWorks own' former in-house animation department left now.

No dude, they've been in troubles for a while, their box office has been barely able to make profits ever since they got acquired by Universal. Ruby Gillman just accelerated things.

I remember having the Prince of Egypt on VHS growing up, and while I didn't watch as much as The Great Mouse Detective, I still enjoyed it every time I watched it. Some other movies that I loved by the studio include Shrek, Rise of the Guardians, How to Train your Dragon movies, Pus & Boots movie, and the King Fu Panda movies
