dude we know damn well DreamWorks will always have its ups and downs.
After PIB2, people have had unrealistic expectations of DW making masterpieces
Disney did the same thing with Encanto yet everyone lost their minds calling Disney dead and woke when Strange World came out only a year later
True
Im surprised people still had high expectations for DW despite the poor reception of Ruby Gillman, the same year as PiB2.
it wasent the exact same year as puss in boots came out late 2022 and ruby was 2023, but i know what you mean@@JLacay
i had to pause the video when you said prince of egypt was ""decent"" and sit back for a sec
Honestly I haven’t seen it in a looonnnnggg time, so I should go ahead and rewatch it soon.
after reading this comment I'm not even gonna watch the video now, clearly this guy is incapable of taste.
that and "shrek the third, which I actually liked-" both made me do a double take
@@commanderclaus. I agreed with him there, I like Shrek the 3rd. It's not a great movie, but definitely overhated. BUT I will not accept this Shrek Forever After slander. Underwritten script? Didn't go for the emotions? It has the most emotional weight in the whole franchise. It didn't need to be as funny as the others bc of that. Although, Rumple is comedy gold lol
SAME!
Remember the good ol' days when we all suddenly thought Dreamowrks was at its peak simply because they released Bad Guys and Puss in Boots: The last Wish 😂
I LOVE Puss In Boots The Last Wish so much!

@@aapsentertainment3159 Hey I redesigned a thumbnail for your recent video,can you give me your email,so I can send it to you.
Yeah, but the fanbase is making it overrated now.
Wow, so much for always using DreamWorks to bash Disney after Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Y'all are so two faced. Granted, Disney didn't have a good year in 2023, but that's no excuse to bash them with another animation studio.
Disney did the same thing with Encanto yet everyone lost their minds calling Disney dead and woke when Strange World came out only a year later
Ikr. Their fanbase has become this awful cult following ever since that film happened and they don’t even know or care that they just made it so overrated at this point. I’m getting sick and tired of them with their piece of sh*t nutshell trends that they just don’t know when to quit.
@@DORAisD34D I never understood the "go woke go broke" argument tbh, the movie still would've been equally as mid if there wasn't a gay couple
ikr. They say “Disney is focused on inclusion rather than making good stories” but like…they were just like any other awkward couple, and it would have required the same amount of effort to write a straight romance and write one as a girl. People just love blaming the homos
@@JeremyMasterson938???
Prince of Egypt being “decent” and “far from dreamworks best” only to bring up shrek 1 is a crazy transition I was not prepared for lmao, other than that this was a very informative video keep it up
Thank you! And yeah in all honesty I need to rewatch it it’s been years so my opinion would probably change.
@@aapsentertainment3159imo prince of Egypt of kung Fu panda 2 are the best dreamworks films ever
I think you’re forgetting that inconsistency is nothing new to DreamWorks. I mean, have you seen their track record? Both Shrek 2 and Shark Tale in 2004? Ruby Gillman coming out a year after Puss in Boots 2? DreamWorks goes through highs and lows all the time, so their current output is nothing new.
Disney did the same thing with Encanto yet everyone lost their minds calling Disney dead and woke when Strange World came out only a year later
Universal is now getting sick of that mentality from them.
@@DORAisD34D Dude, I agree with you, but you've got to stop spamming this comment
Now notice how there was a sort of shrek movie in 2023 and then a underwater film just like in 2004
Captain underpants I thought stayed true to the books and humor.
Every studio in franchise has its ups and downs. It’s just how it is DreamWorks and I have some good movies and some bad movies or some OK movies it’s just gonna be like that.
Very true, but then there are some companies, like DreamWorks that just always had an overall success rate, and it makes me sad to see when good stuff starts to decline, especially when it’s such an important part of your childhood.
Disney did the same thing with Encanto yet everyone lost their minds calling Disney dead and woke when Strange World came out only a year later
I'm sorry, but Dreaworks ALWAYS was making goofy children's films as long as I can remember.
Are we seriously going to pretend that Madagascar movies, Monsters vs. Aliens and Over the Hedge were THAT much more MATURE then Trolls or Captain Underpants? That's silly.
Also, souless sashgrabs? Captain Underpants is regarded as one of the best recent Dreamworks films, and so is Mr. Peabody and Sherman.
Trolls is definitely well liked too, even if those movies aren't all that great.
Madagascar shows were actually unironically VERY funny, and very faithful to goofy spirit of Madagascar franchise, and comedy is quite edgy for kids tv show.
Even the HTTYD Riders of Berk was QUITE good adventure show, despite low budget.
Disney did the same thing with Encanto yet everyone lost their minds calling Disney dead and woke when Strange World came out only a year later
Exactly. This guy’s just another hater
I prefer the Madagascar trilogy, Monsters vs Aliens and Over the Hedge over Captain Underpants and Trolls.
I actually kind of agree. Ppl unnecessarily slander a lot of their series. Madagascar was bombshelled by parents back in the day, now suddenly it's a classic.
HTTYD is NOT low budget, how dare you. And Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge exist.
@@E3257.StudiosEverythingAwesome There are other DreamWorks movies with cult like followings nowadays.
The Wild Robot will bring them BACK.
lets just hope this doesnt age like milk

Yah, why would they slander the movie that gave us STRIPEY BABY!
that film is blasé trite, get over it.
Tbh Kung fu panda as a whole so super overrated. The final act carries the first movie, and 2 and 3 are just ok. I don’t see how people see them as masterpieces
@@DORAisD34D 2 is "ok" to you?! are you serious?!
Saying Captain Underpants is a soulless cashgrab is a mortal sin
I bet he hasn't even watched it...
Dreamworks has always been a studio that would make good films, bad films and films that appeal to a certain group of people. Much like the MCU, people keep going back and forth. “The MCU is dead”, “The MCU is back”.
Disney did the same thing with Encanto yet everyone lost their minds calling Disney dead and woke when Strange World came out only a year later.
I prefer DreamWorks Animation over the MCU. Especially when talking about nowadays.
I do think the MCU and DreamWorks are in a similar position rn
I know DreamWorks has always had a mixed output, but if people could stop overlooking Ruby Gilman, Trolls 3, Orion, Boss Baby 2, Kung Fu Panda 4, etc. in favor of Puss in Boots the Last Wish that’d be great
Trolls 3 and Boss Baby 2 over Puss in Boots TLW...? Why would anyone lol
Why would anyone overlook good films in favor of bad ones? What are you even talking about?
@@HopAndLockDropSoppityPop you missed my point. I’m talking about how people are like “Disney 🏳️🌈 vs DreamWorks 🗿” picking and choosing the bad movies for Disney and literally only comparing them to Puss in Boots 2 and not any of DreamWorks’ bad movies. Like, anyone could do the same to bump up Disney: “Encanto/Luca vs Boss Baby 2”, but they refuse to believe DreamWorks has bad movies

@@DORAisD34Dafter puss in Boots 2 The last wish and the bad guys we seeing everything going down Ruby Gillman teenage kraken what's a promise to return to their original Glory of making fun of Disney just like they did with shrek back then and at the end it felt soulless like a copy of turning red and Luca with a lack of marketing with a teaser trailer that exposed everything that the film will be that lead to a box office disappointment not even making its budget back and I have to skip trolls 3 band together to see something great that film was a slightly more improvement from last time whether it's financially and it did attract enough kids even to the point of beating Disney's wish in other words it's better to die with those childish trolls instead of watching something boring pathetic and generic and unoriginal Disney animated feature how worse can it be then after skipping trolls 3 I enjoyed so much Orion and the dark it was better to enjoy it in theaters than on Netflix in Kung Fu Panda 4 wasn't as awesome as back in the original trilogy things look really Grim but it only got worse now that they announced that half of their workers will now get out of job now not to mention that the main hub could get shutdown so hopefully the wild robot changed their luck
This company made Prince of Egypt, Shrek 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Megamind, and Puss in Boots the last Wish.
And they also made Shark Tale, Boss Baby, Trolls, Megamind 2, Shrek the third, and Kung Fu Panda 4.
This studio is so inconsistent, I can’t tell what will be good or bad next! 😂
Well that's how it's work
For example Disney gave us masterpieces like the lion king hunchback of Notre dame Mulan beauty and the beats Tangled Moana
And then these shit movies like Chicken little make mine music, home on the range And strange world
@@Simbala-bq5vy Yeah but Disney has a pattern.
You have the classic era which were good movies, the dark age which did have a lot of mediocre films with a few gems, the renaissance with are great films, then the 2000s which were very experimental for Disney.
And the 2010s were pretty good until 2018 and that started what I call the “evil decade” of Disney films.
Even though the company was always shitty, At least that shittiness sliminess didn’t seep into their animated films, though ever since Ralph Breaks the internet, Disney films have been on the decline in terms of quality.
Dreamworks on the other hand… they just do whatever the hell they want, the definition of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks 😂
@@thatrandomredengine9430 Always shit???
Always shit?!?!!?!!!
@@Simbala-bq5vy Yes, the Walt Disney company is a greedy corporate shit show.
Glad we got that out of the way.
@@thatrandomredengine9430 Every company is greedy..there's no company that isn't greedy, at all
People describe companies like Dreamworks as an “experimental” studio. Personally, I think that’s just a fancy way of saying “We don’t know what’s good from what’s terrible.”
My jaw dropped the moment you called Captain Underpants a cash grab.
11:56 hey Captain Underpants was pretty good
I like Captain Underpants. But I can understand where it’s not gonna click for everybody.
I’m glad you liked it!
No, it isn't. It barely had anything similar to the books other than the bare minimum.
@@movielover7565 have you even read the books and seen the movies?
DreamWorks became ha ha we’re better than Disney. To oh no Megamind 2 and Ruby Gillmen are not good enough for us😭. I miss old DreamWorks and old Disney too😕
Ruby gillman is decent but yes megamind 2 when exits well You are ok
This is why I wasn't so fast to say DreamWorks was back simply after the success of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. It wasn't four good movies in a row, it was ONE good movie.
Also The Bad Guys, so two
Dreamworks just massacred their in-house animation staff. It’s over man.
You're kidding me. The Captain Underpants Movie is a soulless cash grab??
More like it was a hilariously badass movie! I loved it so much, and it was better than both the Pixar movie (Cars 3. also good but not as funny) and the Illumination movie (Despicable Me 3. Didn't watch it. Didn't care) that came out the same year. For me, that was practically the best animated movie of the year. It also didn't treat kids like dumbasses. It did a great job covering more mature subject matter such as the never-ending desire to challenge authority, conformity vs individualism, the bargain-basement pay and long work hours for teachers that results in them hating their jobs, and the terrible education system in the US that causes kids to feel bored and disengaged from their studies. The romance subplot between the cafeteria lady and Mr. Krupp was pretty hilarious, too.
Instead of being a lazy Shark Tale-style pop-culture fest like it could've been, the Captain Underpants movie captured the look and feel of the books perfectly, complete with gross-out humor and the Captain's final battle against Professor Poopypants and the Turbo Toilet 2000! There's no attempt to make it look more realistic or resemble Dreamworks' other movies. Instead, it basically adapted the books' art style in vibrant, detailed CGI.
Additionally, I loved the chemistry between Harold, George, and Captain Underpants. The Captain has the mind of a child, so Harold and George have to constantly ensure he doesn't get into the trouble. But, thanks to his superpowers and cheerful, optimistic nature, he's also like a big brother who watches out for the 2 boys throughout the movie. He also saves everyone from Professor Poopy Pants' evil schemes like any good superhero. The use of the page-flipping feature of the Underpants books, especially in the final battle scene, was very clever, too. The Captain UnderPants Movie is a movie that could've only been created by a team of people who were massive fans of the books as kids. If Dreamworks ever wants to make a sequel to that, I'll go see it opening weekend. I'm not ashamed to admit that I've watched it many times. 9/10
To sum it all up, Captain Underpants movie is a textbook example of a book-to-movie adaptation done RIGHT, which is extremely rare.
Did everyone forget that dreamworks always dose this like with Shrek 2 and shark tale?
Shrek 2?!?!?!
@@E3257.StudiosEverythingAwesome Shrek two is a masterpiece, but after that dreamworks released a cinematic disaster
@@AdrianAnimations360 You're referring to Shrek 3 then, right? It seemed much like you were suggesting Shrek 2 was really bad.
@@E3257.StudiosEverythingAwesome no I am saying that dreamworks makes a masterpiece and then they make garbage
@@AdrianAnimations360 K.
You forgot a couple of key important points:
- A Bug’s Life was supposed to come out in early 1999, until Micheal Eisner pushed for a holiday 1998 release window, releasing before Prince of Egypt. Katzenburg was fucking pissed and so he did the same with another animated under his belt, Antz. Micheal Eisner tried to do it again until Pixar (who already didn’t like his previous decision cause the film wasn’t even finished yet) convinced him that they can’t finish A Bug’s Life before Antz comes out. Armageddon and Deep Impact (both live-action films about the end of the world from a meter) also released that same year, but that’s just a coincidence.
- Disney gave up on theatrical 2-D animation in the early 2000s as the financial those were at their lowest point. DreamWorks similarly did the same but unlike Disney they never looked back and gave it a second chance.
- Speaking of Sinbad, prior to that DreamWorks was going toe-to-toe with the (at the time for the longest) big 6 major studios to the point they were the borderline 7th one, that is until Sinbad fumbled the bag so bad it nearly bankrupted not only DreamWorks Animation but also DreamWorks as a whole, period. The Cat in the Hat live-action adaptation that same year also didn’t helped matter, and also Shrek 2 single-handedly saved DreamWorks
- DreamWorks ain’t just hit-or-miss critically either. Monster Vs. Aliens only did well in the US and nowhere else. Megamind was only a disappointment because Despicable Me came months earlier. And then 2012-2014 was the worst consecutive financial flops DreamWorks could ever suffer from, being Rise of the Guardians, Turbo, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, and Penguins of Madagascar, those last two were enough to killed off PDI (Pacific Data Images), their CGI studio in their earlier days that they bought and got it to make Antz, Shrek, Madagascar, and Megamind).
- The stuff above pretty much cementing the message “yeah DreamWorks can’t go independent for much longer, so then they were bought by Universal in 2016, who then reduced their budgets since 2020. This seemed like a win-win until Universal did studio meddling for not only Kung Fu Panda 4 but also now rushing The Wild Robot, all in a rush to force DreamWorks to outsource all their future works after those two and also wanting to avoid paying for animation unions (how petty).
And also Jeffery Katzenburg himself ain’t all sunshine and rainbows it, he punished poor workers (who never animated before) by forcing to them the Shrek pile, and also believes A.I. generated movies would make them so affordable for him (which by the time A.I. becomes mainstream, every movie month would be flooded with nearly nothing but A.I. garbage that’s as disposable as a plastic fork.
Woah, that was amazing, you should make video essays. And yeah everything you stated once again kind of furthers some of those beliefs that DreamWorks was really a giant middle finger to Disney as well as Katzenberg having a giant ego. I left a bunch of that out just for time and also that his constant back and forth with Disney was a bit repetitive for a video. There was a version of my script that did have all of the bugs life and antz drama but it slowed down the pacing. So, thank you for posting it here for others, and thank you for watching the video! :)
It would be good if you cited your sources...
I think both studios have their flaws and merits. Disney gets a lot of criticism for their female protagonists in the Disney Princess franchise, but off the top of my head the only DreamWorks films that I can think that actually had female protagonists were "Trolls," "Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken," and "Monsters vs. Aliens." And at least two of those had a lot of negative criticism.
Also realize that since covid movies make much less than they used to, if Puss in Boots 2 had gotten the same hype and come out 4 years earlier it would have probably made much more is my guess
I think he meant to say “Prince of Egypt IS the studios best”
I feel like the culprit behind the sudden death of Dreamworks is Chris Meledandri (The CEO of Illumination) since he's the reason why recent DreamWorks films have cheaper budgets unlike universal pictures' bigger franchises like the fast and the furious,Jurassic park,and child's play where they mostly have bigger budgets than DreamWorks films
I think The Wild Robot, Dog Man & The Bad Guys 2 will save DreamWorks!
Only dogman or the Bad guys
Captain Underpants and Mr Peabody & Sherman slander!
I think weve entered that era in media that we were in the 2000s. With the wider availability of DVD players we had a surge of straight to DVD sequels with bad writing and cheaper animation.
We've entered an era where everything is on streaming. Hence history repeating itself with AI writing and overworked animators.
Completely agree
Don’t think they will ever create another gem like The Last Wish 💎
Hopefully Shrek 5 will be good though!
@@aapsentertainment3159 Depends if Perrito returns 🥰
@@aapsentertainment3159It won't. It's a soulless unnecessary cash grab that was supposed to end with the 4th one.
Ppl act like the Last Wish is the only thing DW ever made now. 😭😭
@@E3257.StudiosEverythingAwesome It's so annoying when they ignore the bad or make the bad seem better than it actually is. And for what it's worth Puss In Boots 2 is extremely overrated as fuck. Abominable, the shitty Spirit remake from 2021, heck even the bad guys, Teenage Kraken, Trolls 3, The Bad Guys Christmas Special, Orion In The Dark, Megamind 2, the awful Megamind Rules show, the rest of their awful shows, the rest of their awful shorts, the rest of their awful specials, KFP 4, and etc. are all bad projects from DreamWorks.
The only thing I disagree with in this video is the small slander towards the prince of Egypt
Finally someone that knows that universal is the reason why Dreamworks is going downhill
Walt Disney has family.!? Also it is funny how dreamworks really be doing the “you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain “
Very true
Uhm... Yes? His brother Roy E Disney and his kids grandchildren and
Also one of the Disney relatives is hating Walt Disney but is using his money that he made
DreamWorks was meant to be what Disney was too coward to be, creative and passionate projects
Disney wasn't at that time a coward and uncreative. They did serious movies like the hunchback of Notre dame wich is darker than all of DreamWorks in my opinion
@@Simbala-bq5vy Prince of Egypt was pretty dark.
Disney had creative projects when DreamWorks came about
@@nicklundy9965 True.
@@Simbala-bq5vy dreamworks did more darker stuff than that movie
Dreamworks isn’t dead…
They’re still making Shrek 5 and The Wild Robot
Or Shrek 5 will just be their Ice Age 5, and the wild robot will just get destroyed by Inside Out 2 and Moana 2.
It's crazy how different we look at companies years later after we see how success can makes company lazier with there work i wonder how illumination is going to do since they have things such as Nintendo to make movies for
I like how everyone just hates dreamworks even thought they loved it like 4 months ago like do y’all remember how Sony was pretty decent to trash until like 2018 and nobody has learned from that man people are weird these days
dreamworks has always kinda been a mixed bag of a company, kfp4 and megamind 2 have just been more outright offensive than most of dreamworks' past failures

Dreamworks have its up and downs. Srhek have some of the worst films like the third one. But then a year ago they put one of the best films ever so no I dont think dreamworks is bad now.
Puss In Boots 2 is really great
This is VERY dramatic.
Yes it is
I think you misspelled "passionate"
Only fools would think DreamWorks will have a golden era.
Now he is having the definitive dark age and now he will continue to have it with wild robot
I blame Chris Melisandre, the new head of Dreamworks and previous/continuing head of Illumination.
Very informative! I appreciate you using box office numbers rather than personal opinion to back the success of these movies up. Thank you!
You’re very welcome :)
ok bro dreamwork literally turns bad after a good movie, then after that bad movie, they make a good movie. Dreamworks is known for their hit and misses

They are so talented and and great when they put their mind to something, Puss in Boots and Bad Guys is just most recent examople of what they can do, THIS suposed to be the direction they were heding into, not Ruby frcking Gilmond, and spiting on the lagacy of Kung Fu Panda and Megamind, and in the proces ruing one of thair best frenchses.
Everything is cash-grab nowdays, but calling Mr.Peabody & Sherman like that, disliking Shrek 4 and liking Shrek 3, also disliking turbo. Maaaan, there's really something wrong with your taste. Also, how the hell can Kung Fu Panda 3 be a cash-grab, when Kai is literally painted on the Po's room wall in the first movie? They planned a sequels, but the fourth one look like a cash-grab, with this I can agree.
Also Captain Underpants is one of the only animated movies that has genuine passion put into it.
Kai wasn't planned per se but I agree, kfp3 is not a cash grab, but dreamworks execs did want a cash grab (using the excuse of parents complaints about kfp2 being too dark) and harmed the movie by forcing Yuh Nelson to water down the movie and to basically cut it in half, and we ended up with the pandas acting like walking jokes for a good chunk of the movie, Kai getting watered down and losing moments that fleshed him out, and lost a whole Tigress arc.
And I say this as someone who likes kfp3.

I find Kung Fu Panda as a whole to be overrated. I like the first one enough (carried by its 3rd act), and I think 2 and 3 are ok. I don’t see any of them as masterpieces like everyone else
@@DORAisD34D woah, really? You're the first person I see to not really like Kung Fu Panda.....that's interesting.....
Tragic. I would have expected Dreamworks to have filled the space left by Pixar after the dead hand of Disney removed all the intelligence after its takeover. The determination to make animations just a 'kids thing' appears to have been a poor move. The 'over 3D-ing' of animations also is too much. Cartoons are cartoons, live with it. Don't try to recreate a parody of reality, it doesn't work. Clearly, as with Disney, the desire to wring out all they can from existing franchises is a ploy that the cynical viewing public can see straight through. Kung Fu Panda is one of my wife's favourite movies, but the later ones....'meh'!
DreamWorks is dead. Out of the past few years they've only had one real project that was actually decent while continuously making garbage. And even that one decent project puss in boots 2 still never actually technically made a profit. And the Bad Guys was mid at best and forgettable. Shit like Abominable, the awful Spirit remake in 2021, Teenage Kraken, Trolls 3, The Bad Guys Christmas Special, Megamind 2, the Megamind Rules show, the rest of their awful shows, the rest of their awful shorts, the rest of their awful specials, KFP 4, and etc. were all awful flops.
Everybody knows that that movie company always makes their good movies and bad movies, for example how Sony pictures went from The Emoji Movie to Spider-man into the Spider-verse and Across the Spider-verse.
We just gotta for dreamwork to be in its peak again, which probaby gonna be few fews after puss in boots last wisj
Kung Fu Panda was my childhood ❤
Who wins in the end? I guess our childhoods really? We were all inspired by these stories, and hopefully when art and storytelling are not slaves to the capitalism machine can they be good again
Dreamworks is doing great, but some of these when to streaming
Now we understood what was the truth about its downfall I can't believe that after puss in boots 2 The last wish we enter into a worst downfall Ruby Gillman teenage kraken was supposed to make fun of Disney not being a soulless copy of turning red and Luca en what is worst with a lack of marketing and a teaser trailer exposing the entire movie its box office didn't manage to make back its budget we still got trolls that it will never end but what could be better a third part to a third part to a childish mediocre franchise or a boring and generic Disney film like wish? Orion and the dark was solid in storytelling and animation but it was better experience in theaters add Kung Fu Panda 4 was not meeting the awesomeness of the trilogy and our wait for a second Megamind ended up as a complete waste and what its worst of all of this it's the fact that probably Dreamworks Animation will shutdown its main hub I'm leaving half of its crew out of work hopefully the wild robot change their luck for better
I love Dreamworks more than Disney tbh but my problem with them is that they decide the quality of their movies by the flip of a coin.
One time it's a masterpiece, one time it's bad, and goes on.
And the fact that there are massive layoff and new directors and writters and all don't make it better especially when its their tv branch and Peacock who animated Megamind 2.
What worries me now is that they are the ones that will make The Bad Guys 2 and Shrek 5 and i'm worried about their fate.
Also last note.
I'm going to be honest in that front, peoples REALLY should STOP calling a studio god or golden age everytime they are making a hit movie or calling them bad and screaming about downfall when they make a miss movie, it's seriously annoying and well all know DW is the perfect example of Hit or Miss.
That's not because they made 1 or 2 good movies that the following ones will be absolute masterpieces, and that's not because they made 1 or 2 bad movies that all the following ones will be bad.
I love how everyone agrees that Dreamworks is on their downfall and the points made, but won’t take the Captain Underpants slander at 11:51
Proves that the Captain Underpants movie is the GOAT
19:52 the 3 movie was okay the show was fine and the shorts are ok.
I hope the money they saved from making these lackluster 2024 sequels will be used to make The Wild Robot a masterpiece...
Captain Underpants was not soulless you take that BACK
11:18 ok the Madagascar’s shows were actually great ps I’m biased for all hail king Julian
I didn’t realize there are so many dreamworks fans 😭😭
Kung Fu Panda 4 was good imo
Disney, Hollywood, and so many other companies are just too rotten to the public anymore, so I'm willing to change them after I've got a dream job and stop all this madness in today's world to make "What" we really want to watch, cause as long Hollywood redeemed themselves, Disney and the companies will have another chance.
Their fanbase became so awful since puss n boots 2 happened. All they get is just mediocre films now and then because they’re so biased for how the company has always been. And just for that, I just think that Universal is gonna shut down DreamWorks one day so that they can put them out of their misery.
True. The last Wish really turned the DreamWorks fanbase into something bad and awful
So true. All the edgy DreamWorks simps that say “Disney 🏳️🌈 vs DreamWorks 🗿” clearly had no idea what made Strange World so bad and Puss in Boots 2 so good
@@DORAisD34D But never understand how these companies work and did. Yes they recent movies from Disney and DreamWorks but why also old movies from DreamWorks? Why can't they also add idk the Lion king or Mulan. These fandoms became to bias because of one movie
@@Simbala-bq5vy The days of Lion King and Mulan are long gone.
@@bighand1530 So? So are Kung-Fu Panda and Shreck. Or they could use idk other classics like WALL-E Tangled Ratatouille and so on cause that is just not fair
Now, some dreamworks shows are good. But mainly as it's the other way around.
at least we'll still have pearl studio/oriental DreamWorks
13:42 how long ago did you record this video?
A week before the movie came out
13:48 incorrect!
Captain Underpants wasn’t soulless it was based on a book, and was made for fans and was then “soulless”
5:45 Debatable!
Sudden? First off they ain’t dead they are always consistently inconsistent. Second off, they have never been great and people overhyped their “resurgence”. They have always hit or miss, never consistently great. Not saying I don’t love their great movies, like shrek, HTTYD, kung fu panda etc, but they’re never consistent
dreamworks is just trying to get an reaction outta yall i bet!
This dude doesn't seem to be a Dreamworks fan.
Because you can no longer criticize something that is important to you...
@@gryficowa 🤔 Huh?
impressive editing for a vid with 7 likes damn
Thank you, I do my best!
Lil bro chill out DreamWorks ain't dying anytime soon, Megamind 2 was made by the TV crew of DreamWorks, so it's not actually DreamWorks quality, and KFP4 was not that, 4/10 at worst imo and the robot movie coming up looks good, so chill out
No. Megamind 2 is DreamWorks quality. They literally hired the OG writers for that garbage. And KFP 4 was a soulless unnecessary cash grab and a disgraceful disappointment to its fans and past actors and its past stories and etc. And the new robot film doesn't actually look great at all. It looks mid at best. All it even shows was a robot running around the woods with creatures while playing generic old peaceful music.
@@movielover7565You didn’t watch The Wild Robot trailer how do you know it’s bad, it’s not mid. Plus the song wasn’t (peaceful) so that proves my point.
1:03 kinda looks like the bosnian flag
Im sorry but captain underpants is not a souless cashgrab it was a genuinely good film I can see how people would not like it but a heard from alot of people that they liked it I am a fan of the books so I might be a little bit bias
I find this video essay to be very weird. I might even be the weirdest and most questionable one I've seen all year so far.
First of all, you act like DreamWorks hasn't had its ups and downs over its history.
From Sinbad nearly killing the studio, to going from the releasing a great movie like Shrek 2 to Shark tale in the same year, then having Boss Baby and captain underpants release in the same year and basically be a reverse of what happened in 2004 (BTW, I understand that people have opinions, but i dont get why you say that films like Captain underpants and Peabody and Sherman were "soulless cash grabs that treated their audiences like dumbasses," as me and many others will find those to be some of the better DreamWorks films within the past decade due to the amount of care, passion and the respect of each source material put into those films). Anyways, you also have a recent example of DreamWorks releasing Puss in Boots 2 to follow it up with that embarrassment Ruby Gillman and eventually trolls 3 and Kung fu Panda 4. Yeah in case you couldn't tell, DreamWorks has never been consistent
Also, you act like every DreamWorks movie before the mid 2010s were super serious instead of being fun movies for kids. Also was it necessary to talk about Quibi? It literally served no purpose in this video.
Disney did the same thing with Encanto yet everyone lost their minds calling Disney dead and woke when Strange World came out only a year later
@@DORAisD34D
That's cartoon fans/annoying people for you
Imo Disney definitely is going downhill.
Shut the heck up about Captain Underpants. It was NOT a soulless cashgrab. It was a great movie with beautiful animation and good writing! I get why some people wouldn't like it (it has underpants in the name), but it is DARN good.
Even if I still want work at DreamWorks in the future
I love how people are so triggered by you calling The Prince of Egypt "decent" 😂
In all fairness I should give it another watch lol
14:25 what does that mean?
He means that they should not make cheep tv shows.
@@knepperstudios1024 oh alright
Unlike those sequels Disneys wish is actually Soulless.
Nope. Chicken little is. Wish has soul, these mahig bulbs.
Joked aside Chicken little is bad. Cool songs, bad animation, annoying characters feels more like Illumination than Disney
@@Simbala-bq5vy Chicken Little is bad but, it’s the fun kind of bad.
@@crashban4t.f.s.b783 trust me, it isn't it was torture, this buck cluck is the worst thing in any Disney movie
@@Simbala-bq5vy Nope. The songs in wish are worse and at least the other main characters in Chicken Little are likeable. In Wish all of the characters are terrible people aside from King Magnifico.
Na most of their tv shows were peak
I think they should go back to one of their older IPs. Bee Movie 2 for the win!
oh my god nobody cares this is fucking dreamworks they have ups and downs all the time.
And over here folks we have a blind cult-like DreamWorks Stan defending DreamWorks for no real reason for usually making garbage even though they don't actually care about their fans and only about money.
Dude what is this clickbait? They made a bad movie and a mediocre movie after making two fantastic ones. Cut it out.
DEATH MY ASSS DREAMWORKS IS GOOD AND ALIIIIIIIIVEEEE
Even if they're outsourcing their animation talent, and creating a live action remake of "How to Train Your Dragon"?
