Adding to Animation Section[edit]

Hi. I really like how you go into detail on the Dreamwork's catalogue and the history of the company itself, however I feel it would be useful to add to the animation section, focusing on the animation style and improvements made to technologies over the years. Some articles that I think would help with this include "The Form and Content of 'Digital Spaciality': Mapping the Soft Power of Dreamworks Animation in Asia" by Natalia Grincheva and "Carefully Structured Yet Curiously Real: How Major American Animation Studios Generate Empathy Through a Shared Style of Character Design" by Malou Von Rooj.

Highest grossing films section[edit]

I propose a highest grossing films section. In this article, it's stated that Shrek 2 is DreamWorks' highest grossing film to date, and I recently looked at the grosses for DreamWorks' films, and it got me thinking: this article needs a highest grossing films section. 25 films, with a distributor, followed by gross in North America and international markets, and finally, worldwide gross unadjusted for inflation. Comment below and collaboration is welcome. ZX2006XZ (talk) 22:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Megamind franchise?[edit]

Since the upcoming Megamind Peacock film and TV series have been announced, should we add Megamind to the list of franchises? Red4Smash (talk) 16:32, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We might as well. ZX2006XZ (talk) 18:08, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notable people section[edit]

Is the notable people section really needed? ZX2006XZ (talk) 12:27, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
