i honestly really love how dreamworks animates emotional pain.

[endress-knight-the-drokain]

Dream works either makes low tier trash or a masterpiece defining a generation. There is no in between.

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

Duality of Dreamworks Character backstories

So we’re all aware about how Dreamworks giving most heartbreaking, traumatizing & painful backstories for their characters right? 

AND THEN THERE IS BRANCH’S BACK STORY!!!

NOT ONE BUT TWO BACKSTORIES!! FIRST WE GET THE WHOLE “SINGING KILLED MY GRANDMA” MEME & THE SECOND ONE HIS BROTHERS ABANDONING HIM WITH THE MOST GOD AWFUL BOY BAND PUNS!!!

NO WONDER POOR LITTLE GUY IS ALWAYS SO ANXIOUS!! ITS LIKE HE IS CURSED WITH COMEDY TRAUMATIC BACKSTORIES THAT EVENTUALLY WILL BECOME AN INTERNET MEME!! 

LMAO HAVE MERCY ON HIM DREAMWORKS!!

Captain Jack Sparrow had to fight something like the birds from The Croods.

"I was thinking of calling it... a hug. Uh, because it rhymes with Grug!"

Up next for Nic Cage November...

The Croods! I love The Croods, it's adorable. A movie that tricks you into thinking it's about Eep, when it's really about Grug. :heart: We don't get movies about old guys making changes very often--especially animated movies about old guys making changes. Love it.

And of course Nic Cage's performance is a lot of fun! Hits it perfectly--which is unusual for a non voice actor to do.

I’ve got Croods on the brain

Contenders and Rules can be found here. Next week will have no poll, just because of IRL conflicts. The next Dreamworks poll will release on 12 December 2023.

(Also feel free to add in the tags or notes whether I should still keep running the Dreamworks Tournament separate from the Illumination Tournament in the coming years)

EDIT: The conflicts have changed, so I will hold the next poll next week!

actually shout out to the croods 1 for female character design im so serious. i can't speak on the sequel cause i haven't seen it but women with broad shoulders women with frizzy wild hair women with crooked teeth women covered in dirt women who can throw boulders and are loud and violence-prone and short-tempered. women who are feral and not in the quirky way but like actually allowed to be offputting. the scene where eep wolfs down a turkey leg bigger than her entire body in like 4 seconds was revolutionary to me idc

scenes from dreamworks that make my heart go :OOO

[hustledimension]

my dreamworks marathon is now complete, as i have now watched all of their theatrical films from antz to the wild robot.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who liked and reblogged the posts i made while watching each movie. i would especially like to thank the antz, chicken run, madagascar, over the hedge, monsters vs aliens, megamind, rise of the guardians, the croods, turbo, home, captain underpants, the bad guys, and ruby gillman fandoms. it's good to see people still love these movies and the fandoms are still alive.

this blog will still be active, but i'm mainly going to be shilling for the wild robot now. i'm worried the movie will be a box office bomb, because when me and my friend saw the movie yesterday, there was barely anyone in the theater. please support the movie if you can!!!!!
