Pixar and Dreamworks Compared!
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Pixar and Dreamworks Compared!
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

That might explain Pixar's Academy Award activity.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

DreamWorks: "And we'll use animals similar to ones recently used in another popular movie."
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Too funny. I'll have to print it out to show my friends.
I think Spirit the horse (another Dreamworks character) has that same look too.
Pixar does a better job in finding voices for their characters. They rarely pick a big a-list actor.
