#dreamworks the dragon prince

[hustledimension]

I was made aware of this through a reddit post: we can nominate movies to be preserved in the National Film Registry, and we should nominate some Dreamworks movies. Shrek is already in it. The criteria is that the nominations must be at least 10 years old and an American film. With this in mind, I think we should nominate the following movies to be preserved in the registry:

The Prince of Egypt

Chicken Run

Kung Fu Panda

How to Train Your Dragon

You can nominate up to 50 movies at this submission form. Deadline is August 15. The Library of Congress also has a list of notable movies that haven't been preserved in the registry yet, which includes other Dreamworks movies you could nominate:

The Road to El Dorado

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

Shrek 2

Shark Tale

Madagascar

Over the Hedge

Bee Movie

Monsters vs. Aliens

Shrek Forever After

Kung Fu Panda 2

Puss in Boots 1

Rise of the Guardians

The Croods

How to Train Your Dragon 2

Penguins of Madagascar

Just throwing it out there: why does Disney get so much criticism for not being original when Dreamworks has made a bunch of adapted films and hasn't gotten as much criticism?

Several Dreamworks films have been based on novels, fairy tales, shows, and other well-known properties. And I'm not talking about specific content. Growing up, I always heard people saying that Dreamworks was better than Disney because Disney did nothing but adaptations (which wasn't true; that's just what they were known for). I feel like on several occasions, situations pop up where people are quick to overlook or criticize Disney while Dreamworks isn't held to the same standard. A lot of Disney's adaptations have been received positively, either from critics, fans, or both. But it's still seen as too reliant on adaptations; Dreamworks also heavily relies on them, yet is seen as superior, with no one saying "they've run out of original ideas."

Note: I'm NOT criticizing adaptating works. I'm just saying those who do pertaining to Disney seem to be biased.

ME WHEN THINGS I LIKE

(I accidentally closed it the first time now I have to rewrite all those tags ughhhh)

[kingoftheu]

I like how in discussions of "Best Dreamworks Movies" no one ever really talks about Prince of Egypt because it is so self evidently the best one there is nothing to talk about.

[salty-and-spiraling]

Don't mind me! Just drawing parallels between Kipo: Age of the Wonderbeasts 01x04 and The Dragon Prince 06x05

- Rayla calming Esmeray, a "monster" that was terrorizing the residents in the area, in season 6 of The Dragon Prince episode 5 "Moonless Night" by singing a lullaby -

- Kipo calming the Mega Monkey, later revealed to be her mother Song, in season 1 of Kipo: Age of the Wonderbeasts episode 4 "Cactus Town" by singing a lullaby -

I don't know where I'm going with this but I've connected the two dots!

On October 12th, 1994, DreamWorks Pictures was founded by Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and former Disney chairman Jeffery Katzenberg. They have produced many films in the past 30 years, but most notably their animated films which led to the company being one of Disney’s biggest rivals in the coming decades. In honor of DreamsWorks’s 30th anniversary, here’s my Top 10 favorite animated DreamWorks movies:

1. The Prince of Egypt (1998)

2. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)

3. The Road to El Dorado (2000)

4. Shrek 2 (2004)

5. Kung Fu Panda (2008)

6. Shrek (2001)

7. Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

8. The Wild Robot (2024)

9. Captain Underpants (2017)

10. How to Train Your Dragon 3 (2019)

Honorable mentions: Chicken Run (2000), Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), and Flushed Away (2006)

My tier list of Dreamworks movies. If you don't agree with me, tell me and we'll beat each other to death like gentlemen.

Dreamworks literally went from Biblical retellings to fairy tale satire to talking animal antics to epic fantasy to whacky jukebox musicals with super dark subtext.
