- DreamWorks Animation had a much better year than Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar in movie theaters. The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish heavily outperformed Lightyear and Strange World. How did DreamWorks defeat Disney at their own game? What happens now?
DreamWorks Animation kicked off a new era with The Bad Guys, continuing what their new techniques in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Meanwhile, Disney has been falling from the competition and has no immediate way to recover. Will Universal (who owns DreamWorks Animation and Illumination) ultimately reach the top spot in the future of animated movies?

Disney's been on the top for too long, I welcome this change
that’s what i’ve been saying, these big industries need a little competition, cuz then they got sloppy and lazy
FACTS
They need to get back up and work or theyll be fired
I think it's because of their formula for movies nobody goes to the theaters if they have a Disney plus subscription becaus the movie becomes free and more convenient to watch at home then the theatre the reason why people go see it is they probably don't have a disney plus subscription or internet in general
Wow
Not going to lie.
Seeing DreamWorks Succeed where Disney failed makes me smile
You're not the only one
I don't want to become an evil supreme lord
:)
yup
And it's not the first time this has happened. Remember when an ogre steamrolled the mouse in 2001-2004?
(Pixar doesn't count since they were independent at the time)
Fun Fact: Dreamworks currently owns the rights to Felix the Cat, so in a technical sense, Felix’s company is doing better than Mickey’s.
Just gonna let that sink in.
I hope we get a new Felix movie in the style of the new adventures of Felix the cat. Esp since Disney has treated Mickey not so well
@@ma.2089 Well, they have been showing Oswald the Lucky Rabbit some respect in the spotlight after years of neglect and lost in world of forgotten toons.
wow, the term "fun fact" being used correctly. you don't see that anymore
There's a joke about Julius being the same character here somewhere but I can't extract it.
I thought felix was public domain. Can a company just take from the public domain?
It's crazy how a animated kids movie in 2023 resonated so much with audiences of ALL AGES. Puss in Boots went back to what made the older movies great
Didn't treat kids like idiots, and wasn't afraid of handling serious topics, had great messages/themes and was also made for adults
I feel too that this film fit perfectly where it is now because if DreamWorks attempted a spinoff with Puss before his first actual film in 2011, they'd probably overdo the comedy and the story probably couldn't be this good.
Putting it in a new decade once they finished their experimental 2010s run feels just right as Goldilocks says
@@Thomasmemoryscentral I don't even consider it a children's movie. I'm 20 and I've watched it like 7 times already. The bad guys was a kids movie this is just a movie
What I love about dreamworks is they don’t have an agenda for marketing, they make what they want and know would be good stories and they always succeed.
All untrue, enjoy your delusional fantasy.
Mostly succeed, but agreed otherwise
@AKAGAMI NO SHANKS yeah that movie was absolutely terrible
@AKAGAMI NO SHANKS I loved shark tale
@@whiteRiceSupremacist wash your mouth
Honestly I wouldn't be sad if Disney goes downhill because they really aren't the same company that they used to be when we were younger
Agreed
i agree wait i agree do i
I love disney movies and even if dreamworks animated movies are great disney has to fight this!
@@mayracordero382 you must be mickey mouse
Yes they made terrible movies In the last 2 years like lightyear,strange world, and the worst movie in the entire universe ENCHANTO.
Dreamworks deserves this victory. They should drink it in and celebrate having a good year putting out beautiful compelling movies. I just hope for the future Dreamworks explores different animation styles for their movies like they did with The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots The Last Wish
Disney is just making movies about gay people
If this is the case, then we're up for a wild ride 🤪 😜
Nooo i like Disney please please watch Disney
@@brandonebedolla9008 Yes indeed! And I sure hope this "wild ride" will include the beloved DreamWorks franchises like Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, the Croods, Trolls, the Boss Baby, and the Bad Guys. (especially the Bad Guys since there'll be a new holiday heist on Netflix this year)
I can’t wait!
It's kinda funny and ironic how Dreamworks as a company was born in a act of revenge against Disney and Pixar, and after many years of always been mainly in those 2 studios shadows, even tho they did make some remarkable and memorable animated movies before, it's refreshing to see them getting the spotlight of the public after so long, they deserved it
They're the first animated studio to win an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. That alone is absolutely remarkable
Turns out the former employees from Disney were smarter than all of Disney combined considering the fact that Dreamworks is now way better
I’m honestly glad that DreamWorks listened. Eventually, I think they realise that being themselves is better than being like their competition and the bad guys really proves that and of course Puss-in-Boots 2 the last wish.
Disney’s incompetence is the very reason why Dreamworks exists. Honestly, if we get more movies like Puss in Boots, Dreamworks should be the status quo when it comes to quality animation
What about illumination universal?
@@SteveCarras well, there's a lot. It's just dreamworks became popular this year.
@@SteveCarras The only Illumination films I know of are Despicable Me, Minions and Secret Life of Pets. All of which are okay films but Dreamworks stood out a lot more. I'm hoping Mario does goes above and beyond
@@SteveCarras iluminations is mid
@@SteveCarras Illumination is a pretty bad animation studio. Aside from the first 2 Despicable Me films, they haven't made a single other good film. Although the Mario Movie looks great, I think that's mostly because Nintendo is playing a big part in making the movie.
Honestly DreamWorks deserve the W, and we hope this year would be back-to-back
well trolls 3 is coming so probably not
@@mariominiondude imagine if things will take a turn for the better, perhaps. Like, after The Bad Guys and Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, they could somehow innovate Trolls 3? Am I being too optimistic?
@Donhimesama Daifutari to be fair, Puss in Boots 1 wasn't particularly liked, which is why people didn't have high expectations on the sequel and everyone got blown away. So...maybe there's real hope?
Agreed.
wow, we have got almost the same profile picture.
did you get the idea from me?
Is no one gonna talk about Dreamworks’ new intro? It’s so good, and I love it so much. It actually feels like the company looking back on their previous movies and acknowledging what got them to where they are now.
Also; saw Puss in Boots in theaters, phenomenal movie.
Didn't think I would tear up at an intro lol
@@coldstuff9784, neither did I, brother.
I liked the other one, this one was just flashier is all, if they wanted to pay homage to their roots, they could’ve just tweaked the intro instead, not a fan of rebranding. Just my 2 cents of course
Absolutely
@@TheReeelBradPittI feel like when I rewatched movies with that intro - it gave a happy little nostalgic feeling, something I expected with the last wish, but sadly didn’t get
Dreamworks deserves this glory after all they've put in their productions. They owned my respect
lol "glory".
@@Maspets yes :3

@@Mr.Needle-Hamster Understanding the origins of Dreamworks makes this comment even funnier.
I’m happy that Dreamworks Won The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots were both Phenomenal hits
And Death Straight Up was the Key Element to Puss and Boots from The Start which made me love the movie even more
The Bad guys ain't THAT good
So come at me, cowards
And stop praising Puss in Boots 2 like it's some God-tier movie!
@@ashtonhouran2210 Not coming at you, it's your opinion, but nah, we ain't going to stop praising an incredible movie
@@ashtonhouran2210 that’s your opinion I really don’t care about it
@@IsraelSempai I could've possibly been trolling, but who knows.
Its very simple: Disney has completely stagnated. Dreamworks is making stories, disney is making products.
There too focused on what the media says about them than what the fans want they fell off after 2016
Indeed, literally Lightyear was the movie that made Andy motivated to get the Buzz Lightyear toy, feeling like Disney at this point shoving product down our throats
I love Disney but most of the movies I watched as a kid and ones I hold close to my heart was always was Dreamworks. Kung fu panda, HTTYD, Rise of the Guardians those movies have always inspired me and I'm so happy Dreamworks is getting the recognition it deserves ^-^
Shrek, Puss in Boots 1 aswell.
Rise of the Guardians is illegally underrated btw, it’s so good.
For me it was flushed away, Madagascar and shrek
Same
@@Prime_Eclipse Oh my god, Shrek is such a comfort franchise for me.
For me it was shrek why? Because Shrek and puss and boots were my favorite movies
Disney had BALLS back then with Hunchback. If they wanna fight back they’re gonna have to bring it on. Also, Dreamworks deserves this moment 👑
Elemental does look interesting.
@@RB01.10 I have to agree with you. I’ll most likely see it when it releases!
Disney was actually good when Walt Disney was alive after he died it all slowly went downhill
@@Theboredgod only if you knew the truth about Walt Disney was bad at the start.:/
@@VENOM-lp3qf I mean tbh yeah he was an asshole
I'm love how puss in boots didn't felt PG but more like PG-13.... I'm so happy it felt more like for everyone than just kid focused.
Puss in Boots was PG?! It had a fight scene complete with blood, the verbose description about a character's attempted murder, and mild swearing! The movie was also just super dark overall.
Never would've guessed it got that rating lol
Mabye Kung Fu Panda 4 will be pg13
@@samuelward1188 why would the fourth one be pg13 the whole franchise is pg
@@OmegaGlops Yeah and unlike the bizarre choice to rate Zootopia in the US as pg despite nothing bordering on that, this sequel pushes that and earns a PG rating.
You've got a drop of blood from a sword fight, Puss dropping an H Word swear and horror film style comparisons with the Death Wolf
That fact that DreamWorks haven't made a live action and just pure animation is just may be another people could be happy
How would yoh feel about httyd getting a live-action movie
Well DreamWorks Animation is different than DreamWorks the company.
Yep it didn't make a live-action just like Disney
@@Thomasmemoryscentral to wyat I've heard, dreamworks animation split from the original dreamworks branch in 2004
DreamWorks deserves this win. The animation quality speaks for itself, and the stories are charming and relatable and classic.
Disney meanwhile, is almost afraid to innovate, and I honestly blame Chapek for this. His whole idea of animation being for kids, is why we have gotten less than memorable projects in the last couple of years, aside from Turning Red. Iger needs to pick someone to be at the helm within two years, since that's how long his contract is, who isn't afraid to take chances, because that's exactly what he did with some of the stories and companies he bought.
Recently, Iger brought a former Nike CEO at the company.
While I agree Chapek didn't help Disney (quite the opposite), Bob Iger was still CEO when Encanto was greenlit (2016), so I assume he also greenlit "Strange World." I doubt we've even seen what films Chapek has shown interest in.
Disney hasn’t put anything good out in a while and same for Pixar as Turning Red is complete garbage
and unfortunately, iger's best possible pick will most likely be the cruella looking lady or yzma
Even then, Turning Red is completely mediocre, at best. It's basically a teenager movie with questionable morals but rated PG.
Dreamworks put WAAAY more care into making their movies great this year which is something Disney just couldn’t do
I don't know. I do like the new Disney movies they made I respect your opinion.
Disney expecting to get more people to watch movies if they put gay and les Ian Characters in it but then in reality get banned in the whole middle east snd many Muslim countries then proceeds to get less outcome than before
It depends. Most of the time they make really great movies, but then there's Boss Baby, Trolls, and Shrek 3
@@xibalbagrim Nobody has a perfect record. Let them have the win.
The only thing Disney can do is
1. Shutting down companies because Disney is jealous.
2. Sue people.
3. Fired John Lasseter.
4. Add LGBTQ to their movies.
5. And ruin everyone childhood.
This isn't the first time DreamWorks destroyed Disney at the box office. They dominated them back in the summer of 2001 when Shrek overpowered Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
Damn.... that's so True
Also can't forget the 2000's in general when Dreamworks films were being more financially and even critically successful than Disney's films (But still below Pixar).
@@maxpowers6738 yeah but unlike the early 2020s so far Max, early Disney boxoffice flops from Atlantis and including Treasure Planet collected big followings over time and become more appreciated.
Strange World is at best needing a couple years to reach any of that and its described as such mediocrity that it sounds impossible
Not going to lie. Seeing Dreamworks doing very well in theaters has put a smile on my face. Puss in Boots 2 deserves all the money it’s making because of how amazing the film was and the grand comeback that the Shrek franchise really needed. It’s the best from Dreamworks since Shrek 2 and Shrek. Hopeful it’ll help Dreamworks make more amazing movies like Puss in Boots 2 moving forward and successfully make Shrek 5. Let’s see if Kung Fu Panda 4 makes a lot of money soon.
Who knew that taking risks, pushing boundaries and creating art out of genuine passion and creativity, and NOT for the mula WASN'T a bad idea!
Truly unforseen!
no apparently people want remakes after remakes and sloppy sequels and spin-offs that dont fit in the canon. who cares about creating a good story. dreamworks' hits are allllll but a fluke.
Dreamworks did not take risks, Disney did.
@@Maspets Really? Sure once a pona time yeah they did they took a lot of risks actually, but now... OH BOY, like the only risks they took was gambling on the hope that the remakes would sell them tickets, Disney grew fat on their own success and now they're just got hit with a dose of reality check, showing them that they are not all powerful and can be knocked down a couple of pegs, i am not a fan of DreamWorks by any means and they smaller arsenal of great works, but this should tell everyone in the industry that the tides of time are changing and if Disney want to continue being successful they are gona need to wake up from wonderland soon.
@@emera5195 I wish I could understand what you are saying here, but there is NO change going on. Dreamworks is very inconsistent. Disney is doing absolutely fine and you people think 2 movies not doing great is going to hurt them just because they happen to be released in the same year? LOL.
@@Maspets the last 2 Disney films that went to theatres flopping is a big deal because most of their animated films for last few years have went straight to streaming and the only films that did get a theatre release flopping will prompt the money hungry executives in that company to take the decision to put more animationed films on streaming platforms rather than putting them in theatres.Heck, you know your in a bad state when an illumination film becomes the most successful animated film of the year when being mediocre is that studios entire brand.
If disney wins animated movie of the year then we know the system is rigged. Dreamworks blew them outta the water with PiB2 going so hard n being highly acclamed
I mean Disney already owns the network which hosts and runs the Oscar's, it's already rigged to begin with.
@@drdewott9154 true but they have lost is the past. Its just rare
its going to netfilx del toro pinocchio i think thats going to win best animated movie it already won it at trhe golden globe
So glad people like you realize everything is rigged and big companies own everything

"this is my first gay character"
"disney this is the 10th time this week you are showing us your first gay character"
I'll admit that I never really cared for Dreamworks back then as a kid, I found Disney movies to be more fun. But now that I'm older, I'm starting to appreciate Dreamworks more and I hope that they get even more recognition, they deserve this! And I hope Disney continues their downward spiral for being stuck in their comfort zone for too long.
They tried something new with the owl house. “Didnt fit our brand” was their excuse to cancel season 3 in first place. The show was already changed or 100% banned for LGBT+ representation in a shit load of countries.
While Disney and the creator of the show wont admit it, its likely this is why it ‘doesn’t fit the brand’: it makes no big money for Disney
I totally agree I'm starting to appreciate dream works more now thag I'm older.
I think "destroyed" is an understatement. This was a massacre.
I need to know what Dreamworks is feeding their animators because they put out some bangers.
Pure steroids.
good paychecks maybe?
for anxiety reasons, i dont know if disney also treats their animators well, if they do then consider this a joke.
i think their writers and vision directors take the cake for this, pixar still has the upper hand in production but disney movies lack substance and are boring to hell.
@@rootedpen2 I am looking forward to Elemental though. That looks genuinely interesting.

I am so happy
After 2016 Disney lost the plot. There bullshit lgbt movies have ruined the legacy. Whereas Dream-works focuses on what fans want not the media agendas
Boy, the tables haves turn! 😈
Two wolves carried dream works this year
I love both of these movies I think the wolves were just my favorite part
I think this year truly highlighted the main difference between Disney (and Pixar) and DreamWorks.
Disney has the better consistency in terms of quality, but their tendency to never take risks is making people fatigued.
DreamWorks has made far more crappy movies than Disney and Pixar have done, but man...when they hit, they hit hard!
True!!
DreamWorks had NOT HELD BACK with their villains, whereas Disney isn’t bothering to brave it, and the difference really shows
If DreamWorks sticks to not overdoing the pop culture references and tuining the serious moments with comedy, than they can succeed.
Once they overdo that, than you get mediocrity such as Shark Tale in 2004 cant deciding its tone with hideous character designs and Shrek The 3rd where serious moments such as a character's dead remains being put into a shoe box.
If they balance put the comedy and drama, you get a Kung Fu Panda, Shrek 2 and Rise Of The Guardians
@@bananabro1010 Both Disney and Pixar overdo the twist villains and the shade of grey villains in the 2010's. Gotten stale
Disney has been consistently STALE and creatively bankrupt since Frozen. Period. And now it's not working anymore. Preachy poltical agendas, lousy plot-twist villains or no villains at all (therefore, no real stakes), perfectly perfect female leads and weak or backseat male leads that are often the source of problems.
Puss in Boots was just a good story, with deep meaningful lessons to get out of it. These types of movies have always been my favorite animated films. The Secret of Nimh comes to mind. Children should have thoughtful stories and characters to reflect upon.
Yeah that makes the movies truly for all ages, kids could look back and realize the deeper stuff alongside nostalgia, and parents are more likely to pay for their tickets
Same with Bad Guys. Yes it wasn't as dark and serious as Puss In Boots 2 but it still had great moments and characters.
True, children deserve better than inane humour.
Puss in Boots movie says to GET MARRIED, period. That is a tired old lesson from Disney princess movies, BTW. 😐
@@mgthestrange9098 children are smarter than most of these people give them credit for. So +1 to Dreamworks this year.
Dreamworks is always trying something new, and when they succed, it's always a joy to watch. Kung fu panda 3 is a major example of this to me, the art style of that movie is wild, and every frame is a piece of art
Puss in Boots is the best animated movie I've seen since Spiderverse. It was good old fashioned fun with fun characters that were surprisingly deep and relatable. Even the side characters were extremely well written. No shitty political agenda, no *pause for the virtuous message*, no subliminal undertones.
Most animated films, especially from Disney, leave me continually rolling my eyes when I do decide to watch them. I find myself to be extremely welcoming to diversity in films. Its very important. But the way Disney does it is more harmful than reasonable.
I think the one thing Disney does HORRIBLY WRONG is trying to stay to "the Disney brand":
The reason owl house was cancelled and reduced was because it didn't fit the company's brand...even though it was literally it's MOST POPULAR SHOW. Their branding has been the same for literally almost 100 YEARS. They are not willing to put their foot out into new territory anymore. They turned the Disney brand into the Disney limitation. They just want the same stories we've seen as kids,doing the same schtick we seen them do,just with a new coat of paint. And yet they never get better. ..
However, companies that are more willing to step OUTSIDE their comfort zone for the sake of pleasing an audience is finding it easier to grapple with the audiences Disney is neglecting. Remember the Don Bluth era? One of the whole reason he made his own company in the first place, was because he was sick and tired of how Disney movies didn't take risks! I would DESPISE a Disney's "An American tail" or "land before time" because they don't rely solely on sweet cuteness of main characters chasing dreams and never getting hurt. Don Bluth was one of the first animation companies I know that not only challenged Disney on a technical level, but he outright challenged Disney on an ideals level. And in my mind, Don Bluth won. Land before time,An American tail, and Anastasia are still remembered EXTREMELY fondly, while movies at the same time with Disney made okay money but not as beloved. Land before time vs Oliver and company,but only land before time is a household name now.
I'm seeing it again here: Disney's ideals being what is crippling the company. Don't forget,this company is almost 100 years old by this point, and we lost Walt a long time ago. The ideals on what is a good movie in the 1920's is VASTLY different than 2020. Back then, people where alot more conservative,they wanted to see movies to escape depression and they where made to make people go "awe"... Well in 2022, we still wanna go "awe', but simply drawing cute bunnies or making adorable sidekicks is not working anymore.while the old Disney movies are super sweet and good watches for kids, it doesn't stick as hard. Its why Don Bluth said a kid will watch the most depressing things as long as there is a happy ending. Because that's exactly what fairytails, the things Disney banded themselves on, are known for; they're tragedies with happy endings!
DreamWorks is doing it here, giving us REAL fairytails! Even 'the bad guy's is more of a modern fairytale! The story of a bad guy,who's done all bad things,finally feeling love and praise and actually tries to turn his life around. That's compelling and tells emotional story's without sacrificing anything! Are they're cute side characters? Yes, Webs is adorable and I love piranha and shark, but at the same time, they're *functional*. They aren't thumper and flower who are just cute for the sake of cute, they are ACTIVE parts of the story! And puss in boots challenges the audience by finally giving puss in boots something different; making him scared of his own mortality. If it was handled by Disney, puss in boots would just be fighting a highly villainised wolf. But no, it's a story about anxiety and living life to it's fullest.
So yeah, I think we're seeing the decline of Disney animation. Not just because of overworked staff, a very insane legacy to live up to,and a lot of new bright competition,but because the Disney brand as a whole has created a creative bottleneck for Disney. They trapped themselves in the Disney brand. The only way to break it,is to achnoledge and go *against* their branding some. To explore new territory that the audiences *want*
I want to say you didnt need to write an essay but you made such good points, especially the one about if disney directed puss in boots 2
If a story is depressing but it has heart, soul, and charm that strikes into the audience in a good way, it's bound to garner the publicity needed to become a hit.
The thing is that Disney thinks it doesn’t have to try, I mean they were around for literally 100 years. They think they don’t need to freaking try is because they own everything and that people will watch there movies, regardless of how bad and soft they can be.
And they won’t bother listening to fans. because why should they, they can’t tell Disney what to do, because they’re Disney. And having they have fans who would literally drop everything they’re doing just to see their movies, and are practically begging them to act how they used to be. Like you said, being dark but still make it for not only kids, but for adults too. But Disney doesn’t care what their fans think, and they know they can’t be killed because animation wouldn’t be around without them.
This is why loathe Disney, every small company, every single one that worked so hard to make their movies fantastic, like Star Wars and marvel, Disney bought them, and they slowly dragged them down hill.
It happened to Star Wars, marvel, and fox. All three of these companies are being ruined because of Disney.

@@ChrofonicPlague lol sorry, bad habit XD
I tend to go on rants if I think too hard on something
I absolutely love how I was already a huge fan of Dreamworks and now seeing them soar while Disney flops makes me SO happy
same. the reason being dreamworks doesnt try to indoctrinate its audience and play the high-morality stance while being hypocritically corrupt (like some). they present mature well-rounded stories which are actually enjoyable so its hard to nitpick them.
dream works was always a banger, they knew what their audience wanted and they gave it to us, while Disney kept force what ever they wanted down our throats and expected us to love it
I feel the biggest reason dreamworks is winning is because they are going out of their comfort zones to experiment with their art styles. Making their movies feel fresh and alive. Where as Disney is still using their tires overused bland style.
DreamWorks really is evolving as a company.
Once they hit it big with Shrek, they offered serious competition to Disney and produced a great sequel along with a few more 2d films too. Of course they stumbled a lot with Shark Tale and Shrek the 3rd proving if they went overboard with jokes over story, then it sucks but Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda surprised us too
This is phenomenal news, Dreamworks hasn't felt like it's been challenging Disney and Pixar since 2010-ish. I really hope this is the beginning of a Dreamworks renaissance.

@@jefferybaker6866 ye
Puss in boots the last wish caught me off guard, I saw it because my mom wanted to see it and I was treating her to dinner and a movie for her birthday and I was blown away by a movie I had no expectations for. Everything from the writing to the voice acting to the animation was the production team labeling it all on the field when they had no requirement to do so. I’ve since watched it 2 more times as I enjoyed it so much. I didn’t watch any Disney movies last year as they all weren’t interesting or obviously had ulterior motives
Heck yes, after watching Puss In Boots : The Last Wish I feel amazed at how far Dreamworks has evolved. The animation was beautiful. Beautiful I say. I also agree that Death is probably the best villain I've ever seen. The side characters doesn't even feel like your typical side characters. They feel like they belong to the movie and make the movie even more fun to watch. Great story with great animation, what more can you ask? Bravo to Dreamworks.
It’s simple Disney wants to force tik tok and kid humor while dreams work stays true to its self with unique ideas and humor that is enjoyable for everyone
Basically they switched roles.

This is also the first year since 2011 when DreamWorks beat out the Disney Animation and Pixar releases in quality. Puss In Boots The Last Wish is instant top tier DreamWorks and The Bad Guys was very solid. Well deserved!
I was thinking the same thing as well. the first time since 2011. and even it is 11 years
It's because DreamWorks, unlike other companies anymore took risks.
Bad Guys was an original concept (yes I know it's based on a novel series but still), and Puss In Boots 2 got more serious and mature and both did well at the box office.
@@RB01.10 A sequel to a movie with a character from an extremely popular franchise is a "risk"? This is why the Puss in Boots hypers are morons. Look how you create a completely false narrative. Disney's movies were FAR more risky. Wtf was Strangeworld? Looks like it was inspired by 1950's adventure films, SUPER popular with the kiddies right? It reminds me of Atlantis, another risk, and both flopped. Lightyear might have been associated with Toy Story but it was dark, dreary and 'adult.' That thing was a risk too, one that did not pay off.
Don't yall find it weird how dreamworks made so many soulless movies during like 2015 - 2017 and then they come back with *absolute bangers*
They just had to take a breath
I’m happy for Dreamworks but if Disney REALLY falls down and stops producing good movies I’ll be sad.But Dreamworks deserved it.
DreamWorks's characters are so unique in design, anyone else see it? They aren't afraid to go all out with their characters and I really appreciate that about DreamWorks!
while disney is just making the 1000th white princes with a different dress
@@quneptune Tiana and Mulan were exceptions then ?
@@RB01.10 yeah about as creative as it gets
@@quneptune They didn't even have a princess movie this year! You guys are really dumb.
That wolf people are creaming their pants over looks generic af.
Honestly this was heavily earned on dreamworks part. ESPECIALLY after watching puss in boots the last wish imo was better than almost every animated movie Disney came out this year
i love men
also Illumination is the best next to DreamWorks.
@@Braiancamejo true they made some if the best video game movies in the form of sonic and possibly mario
@@Braiancamejo not for long. once i work at Pixar one day i'll help it get back on top.
@@Style_224 Yes, since the two studios are owned by NBC Universal.
The fact that shrek 5 is now a possibility is something I still can’t wrap my head around
2:46 "villain" hmm, I could certainly say it's one of the best characters dreamwork's has come up with, but you stop and think about it, it's almost impossible to see it as a "villain"
DreamWorks will always be the best animation studio next to Illumination in winning beat Disney at the Box Office.
I don’t like illumination because it doesn’t treat animation as art
Ehh Illumination isn't really in the same level as DreamWorks, still better than Disney through but that's not saying much😂
Both are Universal, so a big deal for them
@@staringcorgi6475 hopefully the Mario movie changes that
Illumination has one good movie, its easily the worst animation studio
To me dream works is the 2nd best modern studio behind only pixar they seem to be the only main animation studio to genuinely try and make diverse movies with unique art styles and fantastic characters
Ye but it seems that even pixar is kind of fumbling in the current years.
Aside from Megamind & some sequels to their pre 2010 movies most of the original DreamWorks movies from 2010-2019 were pretty mediocre at best Mr. Peabody & Sherman, The Croods, Turbo, Home to name a few were very forgettable in my opinion so I'm praying The Bad Guys & Puss & Boots 2 are a sign that Dreamworks is entering a second golden age like they had been in the 90s & mostly 2000s.
bluesky was an absolute W of a studio. The Peanuts Movie is 10/10 and no one can convince me otherwise
@@PeterGriffin11 2029? We've got a time traveler here.
I like dreamworks for representation that isn't intrusive and forced *cough*live action disney remakes *cough*
Considering where Dreamworks started, I’m glad to see them winning.
I say this is a VERY promising era. Competition ALWAYS promotes INNOVATION, no exceptions. If this means we get masterpieces like Spider Verse, The Bad Guys, AND PiB: The Last Wish, I think I speak for ALL of us when I say we'll be looking forward to whatever projects and films lie ahead.
This is what Disney needs right now competition they need someone to show them that they need to step up their game
What I love about dreamworks is because when you watch their movies you feel like you’re in another world. There isn’t any room for topics about the real world but Disney thinks that we want that. Like no I don’t care about modern day topics I WANT TO FEEL LIKE IM IN ANOTHER WORLD
What are you smoking Chloe?
@@Maspets mustard gas
@@chloeafton2414 interesting...
Can i have some?
@@ordinarydegenerate2626 nah I know a guy he’s very VERY exclusive
Tbh that kind of is what “we” want. Everyone wants everything to be realistic and dark and gritty. I mean Marvel’s been making movies for the purpose of the fans having fun and Thor 4 & Dr Strange 2 got hammered for not being “dark and gritty”
What I love about fiction is that things don’t have to be all dark and gritty and realistic, it’s good to be grounded but we need more movies like Puss in Boots two and The Bad Guys where it really is just having fun, with mature themes along the way
Its interesting to note that this kind of scenario happend to disney before during the 50's as people are getting tired with disney's more realistic style of animation and started to transition to a more abstract style of animation called UPA style
Honestly Disney needs to think about taking more risks and not just producing sequel after sequel after sequel because that’s really not what the viewers want to see. The more risks that are taken, the more experimental films will become and also Disney will have to force itself into advertising movies that deserve more exposure than advertising them right before they get released to theaters.
I’m extremely tired of seeing repetitive remakes and sequels of movie franchises that clearly don’t need to be expanded more than they already have, such as Toy Story. There needs to be more variety as that’s really what the viewers want. So seeing DreamWorks take the throne out of Disney’s possession is a good thing as it means that viewers will follow what they really want to see. I honestly have hopes that this trend will continue.
Dreamworks took risks. Disney didn't
You can’t deny that strange world wasn’t a risk
the only risk that lightyear and strange world took blew up in there face
@@MidnightRaindrops it was a risk...... but disney was afraid it will be like treasure planet (great movie by the way)
@@theresalwaystrainsintetonv69 wait what was ohhhhhhh I remember....... damn 😂
@@m0istur very ironic cuz treasure island had risk elements had great end result but Disney did the opposite that applied the end result as well.
While I grew up with both Pixar and DreamWorks and love both studios, I’m glad DreamWorks is getting themselves back on their two feet. I do hope Disney’s animated theatrical slate this year is better than it was last year. That said, even though it’s hilarious that Minions: The Rise of Gru was far better and more successful than Lightyear, I do look forward to the future of DreamWorks alongside Across the Spider-Verse
Fun fact: death in the last wish is played by Wagner moura, the same actor who portrayed Pablo Escobar in Netflix's narcos series
In my eyes dreamworks has been floundering around for like 15 years and has finally FINALLY gotten their footing.
Gotta say, this was a rare miss for Disney. "Strange World" showed they got too comfortable. Hopefully "Wish" demolishes expectations.
Don’t forget Elemental.
@@RB01.10 I'm not really a Pixar guy, but sure!
@@OpticalSorcerer Did you even see it?
@@Maspets Yeah, but to be fair, I'm biased; I'm not a big sci-fi fan, and I typically don't like animated films that aren't musicals.
How to title a Disney movie:
Step one: Pick a noun or adjective.
Step two: You're done.
Dreamworks is moving further while Disney is still stuck in its comfort zone
Its time for Disney to retire.
They've flunked their movies for way too long now, and I wouldnt be mad if they failed as a company completely.
Sorry to all the Disney stans, this is just my opinion.
Also type "Disney is" in the top search bar, and see what it suggests.
then type "Dreamworks is" and see the change.
2D and Stop Motion animation making a comeback makes me so happy. I never liked the realistic 3D CG animation style and I honestly only really liked it when it was done by Pixar or maybe Dreamworks.
Despite how many hiccups they've had, Dreamworks is still my favorite western animated studio, and that isn't changing anytime soon
I thought they only had one Hiccup
@@faithsparks577 yeah, I realized that after I finished writing lol
honestly if they keep this up they're gonna become mine, I'm so tired of disney/pixar's BS.
The thing is that Dreamworks, while they do have the occasional stinker, have mostly stayed true to their roots by constantly restructuring and changing themselves multiple timed to adapt and survive.
Going from garbage like Boss Baby to The Bad Guys and The Last Wish is just proof of it.
Whereas Disney on the other hand have essentially gotten so bloated with their success that any major changes at the company would like trying to get a 500 ton ship to slalom and paralel park on a dock. Its as ridicilous as it sounds and just plain impossible.
Disney owns dreamworks so it’s kinda awkward
One of the big reasons Puss in Boots 2 was better than the current string of Disney movies? It delivered one of the best villains I have seen in a animated movie in a long time. It's kinda sad how Disney who has brought us some iconic villains has fallen off the cliff in that category
Something tells me Illumination's going to do the same thing towards Disney at the box office once the new Mario movie comes out
Disney’s next movie is a live action remake sooooooo
The Mario movie will make like a bazillion dollars for sure i don’t know if the movie will be good or bad but it will be really popular for sure
I mean it’s freaking Mario we’re talking about, of course it’s going to do amazing.
Man, it would make me so happy to see Disney getting trampled on by literally every other major animation studio
Knowing how successful Sing 2 (my personal favorite by them) did as well as Minions I’m sure Mario will be good.
Puss in boots was such a breath of relief☺️
Not only that, but The Bad Guys was too.
Shows how original ideas can work (yes I know it's based on a book series but still).
It's rumored that Antonio Banderas having an heart attack in 2017 is what inspired the element of "fear of death" in the movie.
I like the 3D/2D hybrid, it brings back the expression you want to see and the realism your so used to. Shrek is the complete antithesis of Disney, I always wondered if there would be a day when the tables turned.
It was hard for me and my dad to get even good seats for puss in boots the last wish. That's what told me the movie was good, and people really wanted to see it. So basically from my own experience trying to even get seats to a movie about a spanish cat in boots, that just goes to show how good DreamWorks made the movie. Even the bad guys did better than lightyear.
Edit: thx for someone telling me puss is from Spain. A little embarrassed but glad someone corrected me
Edit 2: ok ok I changed it to Spanish cat.
Puss isn't mexican, he's from Spain
@@lucko95 ok. Thanks for correcting me
Man, I'm so disappointed that this film didn't get the hype when it was first released. I went with my brother and sister and the theater was empty except for the row of kids behind us. The kids behind us were crying while I was cuddling my sister when Death showed up. 😅 We still stuck at the end. We then took our dad and it was still empty. This was the first week. And now I'm hearing stories of people fighting for seats at packed theaters and stealing cardboard cutouts of Puss from the theater. Two weeks after its release. Yes, there were people stealing cutouts. 😅 Tumblr people are interesting. I would have given anything to be present in a packed theater for this film!
@@jocabedrivera7756 Not people stealing the cutouts 🤣 The movie is getting less showtimes here unfortunately since the theatres prioritised Avatar. I hope Puss In Boots does better in other countries when it's released there
*Spanish cat
For moment there I thought Puss in Boots is gonna bomb since it has a slow start but I’m surprised to see that it actually outclassed its budget. You do realize though that The Rise Of Gru is the highest grossing animated film last year right?
Slow start? It literarly starts off with the best, most intense action scene ive seen all year.
@@bleflar9183 I think they meant viewing wise
@@bleflar9183 No. I meant it financially has a slow start.
As long as it's not one of Disney's movies, I don't care.
@@bleflar9183 they mean box office
I had never even heard of Strange World until about a week AFTER it was in theaters
"You're not gonna shoot a puppy, are ya, Jack?"
"Yeah, in the face, why?"
I rest my case.
1:09 I appreciate this. As you said, Lightyear wasn't really bad, but i still understand why people would be turned down by the obvious marketing reasons behind the film.
I mean, if your marketing is surrounded by gaslighting away valid criticism...
@@revimfadli4666 I don't really know what you're talking about but I was refering to the toys and merchandise being sold. The movie is weak in some aspects, but still fun to watch I would say.
@@revimfadli4666Like ignoring Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
@@matityaloran9157 oof yeah, wasn't that meant to be an in-universe tie-in series? It's super meta to have the reboot disconnection be in-universe too
@@revimfadli4666 It was meant as an in-universe tie in series and was implied to be the cartoon that inspired the toy (and it began with a direct to VCR pilot film). Lightyear was essentially the remake of it, even though the original cartoon was way better.
I didn't even know strange worlds even existed until this video.
And that's just a result of the film's poor marketing.
I’m really happy for Dreamworks really. It’s my favorite animation studio of all time. The make animated movies that Disney won’t. I love Disney animation of course, but they aren’t doing a good job. They aren’t taking risks like Dreamworks.
The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots 2 were delightful surprises. Can’t wait for their next projects.
After Disney had hurt me with their poor attempts at making remakes and live action movies, It's satisfying to watch their problems catch up with them.
Disney: wants your cash
DreamWorks: wants you to have fun
I just hope that animation will become more powerful, not rush and have a good story. I'm just waiting for the moment where I can tell good story telling and hope that people can enjoy them.
It's wild that most movies/shows that I'm hype about are all in form of animation, those are: Arcane Season 2, Vinland Saga Season 2, Spiderverse, and Makoto Shinkai's Suzume no Tojimari.
I absolutely loved The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. I was disappointed with Lightyear and I didn’t even see Turning Red or Strange World because I don’t have much interest in seeing them tbh. If Dreamworks keeps up the momentum, they’ll officially become my favorite animation studio.
Ok take your time
Disney: pupping out crap soulless movies
Dreamworks: Making amazing beautiful quality movies
There’s your answer…
I like the movies Disney was making, But I respect your opinion on them.
I think Disney's movies were decent, but dreamworks definitely did better
You can't spell DreamWorks without 'W'
Honestly DreamWorks lived up to their name, cause when I was a kid I've always wanted a pet dragon and cherished that dream when I was young. Hell I wanted to be as good as Po in Kung Fu. Now I want to meet death, he looks pretty chill.
Your choice of gen 4 sinnoh music is greatly appreciated
I miss The Rival of Dreamworks Vs Disney, and im glade it’s Finally Coming back.
I hope Universal doesn’t Turn Dreamworks Into the Next illumination.
@@Pituca700 yeah but Here’s An Example Of Why Universal Studios might turn Dreamworks into the next Illumination.
Home
Trolls
Boss baby
Trolls world tour
The croods A new age
Spirit untamed
The Boss baby Family Business
And Probably Trolls 3 Coming In 2023.
all Those movies are Bad Because Universal Wants To make Cash-grab Animated movies just to sell some more merchandise and Toys.
(You Know what they say, Bad Animated Movies become Box office successes just like TTG The Movie and Pop patrol the movie)
And Now Universal Killed The Halloween franchise and The Jurassic world franchise in 2022.
Don’t believe me?
Look at the Rotten Tomatoes scores on Jurassic world dominion and Halloween ends!
They have Bad Reviews, and The worst of all, all those Deleted scenes that were shown from the Trailer got cut in the final film just like Sony’s The amazing Spider-Man 2!
That’s How Bad Universal is.
Honestly Comcast seems to have a similar setup to Disney nowadays. Illumination is to them what Walt Disney Animation Studios is to Disney. The big, largely by the numbers studios for crowd pleasers, while DreamWorks now take on a role more similar to Pixar with the more daring and artistic productions that play a bit of a second fiddle to the big guns.
Holy hell
I never thought I'd see the day where DreamWorks FINALLY got a win over Disney. And as a guy who watched Megamind and Shrek A LOT growing up, this brings a huge smile to my face.
Disney has been screwing up pretty badly in the past few years, and aside from the more recent movies they released in the past couple years (such as Toy Story 4 and Luca, to name a few) They REALLY need to step it up if they want to continue to be the kings of the animation world, since they have been taking loss after loss for about the past half a year or so.
Disney announces Froozen 5 and Toy Story 5 dreamworks: how i LOVE the smell of fear, what's up mouse, do you see your inclusion pass into your eyes?
That route 3 music from pokemon dpp caught me off guard. I was just replaying playing platinum rn, u got good taste in pokemon route themes.
Wait til Illumination does it's final smash on Disney with that Super Mario Bros movie.
I have a feeling Disney will be back on top again when they release Wish later this year.
Don't forget Elemental, which looks legitimately interesting.
Well if the movie is actually good
Wish ?
It's elemental
Watch the fire be hi-elemental or some bs
@@peterparker9954 No, there is another movie from Disney Called "Wish"
The background music gave me tears :')
Just a reminder everyone.
DreamWorks legacy started with a small, little
