Dreamworks vs Pixar

Do you like Pixar ordreamworks? From dreanworks I really liked "over the hedge" and "Shrek" but only the first shrek after that they werent as good. There worst is either "Flushed away" or "Shark Tale"

From Pixar I liked "Finding Nemo" both Toy Storys "A Bugs Life" and "Monsters inc". i did not like "Cars" "Ratatouille" or "TheIncredibles" I have not seen up or Wall-e

So I would have to say Pixar over dreamworks just because i think dreamworks makes to many movies that dont seem to have much put into them and arent that funny.

Eh? "vs" implies there's a contest. I see no contest here.

EDIT: Although Shrek 1 and 2 are on par withmost of Pixar's work.

Shrek was decent but is by no means anything special. Pixar dominates the animated movies.

Obligatory.

The only Dreamworks movie I liked was "Kungfu Panda".

Dreamworks has done some pretty great stuff (The Prince of Egypt, my favorite, is simply stunning in every way), but there's just no beating Pixar here.

If it wasn't for the genius of the first Shrek movie dreamworks would have have nothing in their catalogue that could even hold a candle to pixar's WORST.

EDIT: I forgot that dreamworks used to do 2D movies. I liked most of those. I am only using their 3D movies in this comparison. Also, I haven't seen kung fu panda :P

So far, 20 to nil. Looks like Pixar is the winner, hands down.

Dreamworks is not fit to be mentioned in the same sentence. I mean, what movie has Dreamworks done that has actually been good? Shrek? It was alright, but anyone watch it recently? So many lame pop culture references, it feels like it came from a completely different era. And the macarena dance at the end was dated even when it released. Everything else they have done has been a painful attempt to use star power and top billing to push terrible stories and lame jokes. The only non-Pixar 3D movie that I feel approaches their level (but still doesn't reach) is Robots, and that's by Blue Sky Studio, not Dreamworks. Kung Fu Panda might have been good if they used the art style of the intro for the entire movie.DJ_Lae

Dreamworks has a few good hand-drawn animated movies under their belt. I already mentioned The Prince of Egypt, which is absolutely astounding and completely underrated. The Road to El Dorado was good too, despite the slapstick humor here and there. The pop culture references in Shrek were meant to be there, I think, but I don't think Shrek tops Dreamworks' hand-drawn stuff.

Robots was a nightmare. I hated that movie so much.

Overall, Dreamworks. For animation, Pixar. Dreamworks' animation house isn't as good imo, but they more than make up for it with all of the quality live action films they release. Plus they're the home of Spielberg and his movies are usually really good.Senor_Kami

The prince of Egypt I didnt even know was a dreamworks movie, because it was good.

The closest thing to "bad" in that movie is the fact that it's not Biblically accurate; the animation, epic musical score and cast are all perfect. One of the best animated movies ever made, and it's such a shame that hardly anyone I know has ever heard of it.

Semantics.DJ_Lae

This calls for a Futurama reference!

No. I came in thinking Dreamworks vs Pixar ... not Dreamworks Animation vs. Pixar -- totally different things. Sajedene

after seeing Up i have to say Pixar.

Semantics. Did anyone really think the conversation was about Dreamworks (sans Animation) versus Pixar? That's like wandering into a Yamaha versus Honda thread on motorbikes and bringing up the fact that Honda makes cars.DJ_Lae

Plus, when people are making blanket statements to the effect of, "Dreamworks has never made a good movie"... I couldn't resist.

Also, your motorcycle vs doesn't hold up. If this was motorcycles.com, then yeah. But this is the type of site where people will compare games like Halo to Final Fantasy and be like, "which is better." Those are two radically different games in radically different genres but stuff like this is the norm on Gamespot. Thinking that a thread called "Dreamworks vs Pixar" was about Dreamworks vs Pixar isn't as crazy as you make it out to be.
