Founded in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David
Geffen, DreamWorks Animation instantly became a world-renowned animation
studio with blockbuster franchises including Shrek, Madagascar, and
Kung Fu Panda. Though its earliest films, such as The Prince of
Egypt, feature traditional hand-drawn cel animation, DreamWorks soon
forayed into claymation with Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, and
pioneered advanced computer animation with films such as Antz, Shark
Tale, and How to Train Your Dragon.
Brimming with concept art, preproduction designs, and char-acter
sketches, DreamWorks Animation marks the studio's 20th anniversary and
offers unprecedented behind-the-scenes access into its archives. An
introduction by DreamWorks cofounder Katzenberg provides insider
perspective on the studio's most popular films, as does running
commentary from artists and direc-tors on all of DreamWorks' 30 films to
date.
