  • DREAMWORKS ANIMATION SKG INC Profile

    While live action isn't a nightmare for DreamWorks Animation SKG, the company definitely prefers CGI. The company is producer of computer animated features -- including the box office hits Madagascar, Bee Movie, Shrek, and the record-breaking Shrek 2 (the highest-grossing animated film ever). DreamWorks Animation develops content that is distributed and marketed by Paramount Pictures. DreamWorks Animation previously released films in collaboration with Aardman Animations (Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit and Flushed Away); however, the partnership ended in 2007. The 2007 release of Shrek the Third again broke records. In 2004 former parent DreamWorks spun off the company.
