* [[Dork Age]]: The dark, dark times after they made their first big hit with ''[[Shrek]]'' and still copied [[Pixar]] - the absolute nadir of this trend was the abysmal ''[[Shark Tale]]''.

* [[Growing the Beard]]: The general opinion of Dreamworks has gone from "Wannabe [[Disney]]/[[Pixar]]" to "Actually pretty darn good" after they stopped rehashing the [[Shrek]] formula and made better films such as ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'', ''[[Megamind]]'', ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2]]'', and most of all, ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]''. The studio has been largely shifting to less pop culture reference humor to more story centered work in their best films. |

* [[Hate Dumb]]: Even after Dreamworks [[Growing the Beard|grew the beard]], there are still some people who just won't forgive them for the "[[Shrek]] formula" period. Yes it's mostly [[Disney]]/[[Pixar]] [[Fan Dumb|bias]], but it doesn't make it less annoying. |

* [[They Copied It, So It Sucks]]: Pixar fans (as well as a few non-Pixar fans and critics) have noticed in the beginning of Dreamworks Animation that they were [[Follow the Leader|copying Pixar]]. Some people [[All Animation Is Disney|have confused Dreamworks' cartoons to Pixar]], but the studio has found its own voice in recent years. |

* [[Too Good to Last]]: Their hand-drawn films, while certainly not on the quality level of the [[Disney Animated Canon]], were [[Visual Effects of Awesome|gorgeously animated]] and often became [[Cult Classic|Cult Classics]], much like a lot of Disney's hand-drawn efforts around the turn of the millennium. [[Not So Different]], eh? |
