Formed in the year 1994, DreamWorks Animation is one of the main competitors of disney in the universe of animations. The award-winning studio is responsible for hits like “Shrek,” “Madagascar,” “How to Train Your Dragon,” “The Boss Baby,” “Trolls” and more.
Its most recent release was “O Puss in Boots 2 — The Last Order”, sequel to the spin-off inspired by the cat featured in the “Shrek” franchise, which became the highest-grossing DreamWorks in Brazil, raising about R$70, 4 million in ticket sales, as revealed by Omelete.
However, even with a full catalog of hits, many people still end up confusing their productions, and don’t know that some animation classics are from DreamWorks.
With that in mind, RECREIO has put together an unmissable list for you with some DreamWorks films that you might not have known about.
1. Chicken Run (2000)
A classic DreamWorks production style is stop motion, an animation technique where each scene is created through photos taken by cameras or a computer — and one of its biggest hits is “A Fuga das Galinhas”.
The film takes place on an English farm in the 1950s, where all the chickens live a peaceful life doing their job and dreaming of a better life. Ginger is the one who dreams most of her freedom, and ends up leading a plan to escape by flying out of the chicken coop alongside her friends.
2. Megamind (2010)
“Megamente” has a slightly different approach from most children’s animations, with a villain as the main character, and not just as an antagonist.
The film presents the saga of the alien villain Megamind who, after being defeated by his archenemy Metro Man, finds himself without a purpose in life, until he creates a new opponent, who ends up realizing that being a villain can be more fun than a hero. .
3. Bee Movie — The Story of a Bee (2007)
Another big hit from DreamWorks that many people forget was produced by the studio is “Bee Movie — The Story of a Bee”, a feature film that features the same writers of the classic 80s series “Seinfield”.

For this, he uses Lenny, Frankie’s brother, as an accomplice, but everything starts to go wrong when the father of the sharks and mafia boss, Don Lino, sends his henchmen after the murderer of his eldest son.
5. Wallace & Gromit — The Battle of the Vegetables (2005)
