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.

Re: Pixar and Dreamworks Compared!
Not to defend Dreamworks, because I am not their biggest fan... But it could be like those rip offs that they sell at the stores for like $5.
And I also find it funny that Pixar comes out with "A Bugs Life" about a bunch of ants, then Dreamworks comes out with "Ants"

Re: Pixar and Dreamworks Compared!
I absolutely love the original post. It sums up the difference between Pixar and Dreamworks perfectly. Time to play Devil's advocate, however. Disney is not much better in some cases. Let's face it- "The Wild" is a ridiculous hybrid of "Finding Nemo" and "Madagascar" that no one actually saw.

It is true that the film is very similar to "Madagascar".Noctourne Wonderland wrote:Disney is not much better in some cases. Let's face it- "The Wild" is a ridiculous hybrid of "Finding Nemo" and "Madagascar" that no one actually saw.
However, its worth noting that "The Wild" was not made by Disney Animation. It was made by outside company "C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures" and was only distributed by Disney.
Disney should stick to their own company for animation. (And Pixar of course, since Disney owns them.)
