Dreamworks Animation/WMG: Difference between revisions

== There's another of those [[Friends (TV)/And the High Council/WMG|multiverse]] level conflicts going on in the worlds of Dreamworks ==

Remember in the late 80's when Disney's movies were bombing and Don Bluth's films were sucessful, and how everything went vice versa during the 90's? The same thing is going to happen with Pixar and Dreamworks. Pixar has been the lead for about 15 years now, and Dreamworks has been inferior to them for about the same amount of time. ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3'' is (in this troper's opinion) The strongest and most successful Pixar film, and when you're at the top, there's only one way you can go. Case in point, Pixar's last film is ''[[Cars]] 2'', a sequel to their least successful film, which has done even worse by the company's standards. Pixar is also making a ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' sequel or spinoff, which is what took Newt's slot. In 2010, Dreamwork's films have been considerbly darker and more fleshed out, such as in ''HTTYD'' and to a lesser extent ''[[Shrek]] 4''. This might just signal a role reversal, and Pixar might just reach its low point, its apocalypse; Its Pixar-calypse if you will if ''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Brave [Brave]]'' doesn't measure up artistically in 2012. Dreamworks might just be on the road to genuinely good movies...

They know people get annoyed with Pixar for never having a female lead and Disney for being all about its princesses, and are trying to capture that audience. In the last few movies that weren't sequels we've got a movie that's totally on the side of its female leads who are [[Chickification|chickified]] by no one. For instance, ''[[Megamind]]'' as a fearless reporter who immediately shoots down her [https://web.archive.org/web/20160115035317/http://www.heartless-bitches.com/rants/niceguys/niceguys.shtml Nice Guy] and for getting legitimately upset at her love interest for lying to her, ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (Filmanimation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' has a tough and clever viking girl who bows to no one, ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]'' has the only superheroine origin movie we're likely to see on the big screen in a long time (even if it's disguised by calling her a "monster"), and the ''[[Kung Fu Panda (Animation)|Kung Fu Panda]]'' series has yet another tough and smart fighter who also manages to be a catgirl who ''isn't'' sexualized, but is no less a [[Hot Amazon]] in her own way.

== [[Dream WorksDreamWorks]] Animation will [[Growing the Beard|get better]] when it merges with its former parent. ==

[[Dream WorksDreamWorks]] Animation's streak of less-than-sound movies began when it was spun off in 2004, and Jeffrey Katzenberg [[Protection From Editors|was no longer under Steven Spielberg and David Geffen's supervision]]. When it merges back with the live-action studio, it will begin making good movies again.

* Dreamworks Animation ''have'' proven themselves lately with the ''[[Kung Fu Panda (Animation)|Kung Fu Panda]]'' [[Kung Fu Panda 2 (Animation)|franchise]] and ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (Filmanimation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]''. Despite this, some people still hold bias against Dreamworks Animation, ''especially'' when sequels are involved.
