Pixar vs. Dreamworks Thought Process

the road to el dorado is by far the best dreamworks movie i've ever seen

I remember seeing this image years ago when it was accurate.. But since Up, the movies Pixar have released have all been crowd pleasing money makers. Toy Story 3 made an absolute fortune because everyone in the universe watched and loved Toy Story. Cars 2 made a mint because kids like more of what they know. Brave followed safe and known film tropes and wasn't even remotely as adventurous as Up or Wall-E in terms of story telling.. They cancelled a film called Newt (look it up, it would have been awesome) so they could make Cars 2. --edit-- It was canned to make room to further develop Brave and Monsters U, because it was seen as too similar to Blue Sky's Rio.

Meanwhile Dreamworks who used to consistently make garbage like that Sharks Tale movie, now make more and more movies like Megamind and How To Train Your Dragon.

Pixar have been absolutely groundbreaking in their development of films in the past, but are becoming less pioneers and more into profiting on past successes. Dreamworks, while still not as good (they just released another bloody Madagascar movie) are none-the-less becoming a better studio producing more memorable films. So this image becomes less true to me each time I see it reposted.

Cars 2 sucked so bad I thought it was Dreamworks. Brave was all right, but I felt like they were throwing in crowd-pleasing stuff that diminished the quality. I have to say the lack of John Lasseter on this one is pretty obvious. Monsters University looks funny, but I doubt it will be as good as the first.

I love both. Pixar is better. Still love both.

I actually really liked Shrek and Antz. Shrek became a classic.

Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2 are excellent.

No one understands why I hate dreamworks. Thank you for understanding.

and the only exception to the rule : The Prince of Egypt.

I've seen this before but it's absolutely true. Most of Dreamworks' stuff is fart jokes and dancing animals.

Pixar's movies are shit that make you go "who could have thought this up?"

The problem I have with this is really only the bee is actually making that face. Like seriously, especially the fish and panda look NOTHING like that.

Fuck you, man. Kung-fu Panda was awesome.

If you wanna talk about ripping one another off, why not rip on this crappy studios: Crappy productions

Shrek, Kung-fu Panda and How to Train your Dragon are up there with the best of Pixar's work.

Pixar is consistently excellent (besides Cars...) and Dreamsworks is very hit or miss. But when Dreamworks hits, it hits big.

I read this thinking Pixar has really creative ideas that make sense when you really think about them. Then, I got to Up. Freaking geniuses.

starjharvey · 2 months

Come on...Monsters Inc. was a great movie.

I think that's a bit harsh considering they created How to train Your Dragon, which many consider one of the best if not the best animated movie of the last decade or more.

I've never got the hate on ANTZ, it's a more interesting plot than Bug's Life for sure, if markedly more grim...

jakemyers7 · 2 months

My favorite animated film was always hercules

ZarkingFrood42 · 2 months

JUST CUZ IT'S TRUE, doesn't mean Kung Fu Panda wasn't absolutely hilarious.

I've seen this picture a lot but it never ceases to amuse me, just because I like to marvel at what great movies, consistently bar one, come out of Pixar.

blondejewfro · 2 months

My senses tell me you are a Pixar fan when it comes to children's movies!

Malek4316 · 2 months

Dreamworks has some quality animated movies, some of my favorites in fact. Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2, and How to train your Dragon were great movies.

hornet54 · 2 months

Interesting fact: according to Imagine, by Jonah Lehrer, this is actually very close to how the thought process of Pixar actually is.

I_SHIT_SEMEN · 2 months

How to Train Your Dragon, that is all.

ThatMetalBrony666 · 2 months

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed all of Dreamwork's character's seem to make that face. That face really annoys me for some reason...

sryguys · 2 months

Oh yeah, completely disregard How to Train Your Dragon.

Ikarus3426 · 2 months

Well this is awkward.

Now shut up and admit that How to Train Your Dragon is fucking great movie.

KingN · 2 months

I don't like this because it oversimplifies Pixar's movies too, there's so much meaning in a lot of them. Some of them deal with some pretty serious topics, like for instance Toy Story 3 is partially about accepting death.

I down voted this last night because i was drunk and couldn't read. I gave it a second chance this afternoon, here's an up vote.

LumosNight187 · 2 months

I like Pixar overall, but HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON is the best movie in the world.

Pixar has a shit streak going on right now (relative to their pedigree, of course.) They better start watching their backs. Monsters University, the title itself feels forced, not Pixar-like. Pixar, I believe, is beginning to force it a bit as of late.

markman71122 · 2 months

Pixar is just pure creativity when it comes to movies but lately with cars 2 it looks like dream works could be stacking up to rival them.

TehMau5 · 2 months

My problem with Dreamworks is that they will never be able to do this.

Warning: Onions everywhere.

I thought Antz was a good move ;_;

the real pixar and dreamworks thought process

epepepturbo · 2 months

I generally like Dreamworks animated movies better than Pixar's. Pixar seems to aim towards younger kids than Dreamworks does. Their features are cute, but Dreamworks' features are funnier. Pixar has fantastic animation, though...

I dunno... Both studios have turned out good films. BTW, Pixar characters make that face, too.

Does the fish look like will smith or does the fish just look like a black person?
