Dreamworks vs Pixar

Pixar easily, the only movie by dreamworks I liked was kung fu panda.

Vs what? Where's the competition? Pixar wins then.

The first Shrek and Kung Fu Panda were both fantastic movies. That being said, Dreamworks created Madagascar, so I have to give it to Pixar. Plus, UP was beautiful.

Pixar automatically wins in the animated division.

Their movies are brilliant.

[QUOTE="Sajedene"][QUOTE="smokingsbad"]No Contest, I wonder who voted for Dreamworks LulzNerd_Man

Dreamworks and Dreamworks Animation are two completely different divisions. Disney bought that deal of distributing Dreamworks films last year and yet Dreamworks Animation was not included in the deal, because the Animation branch is completely different from the main company.

[QUOTE="Sajedene"] I did... when someone says Dreamworks I don't just think of their Animation capacity.Sajedene

No, I think it's pretty much a given if you're going to compare Pixar to Dreamworks that you're talking about animation.

In your case, you voted for a completely different company.

I have to say Pixar just because I watched Toy Story so much as a kid and had the video game on SEGA and I also loved A Bugs' Life and had that game on N64.

[QUOTE="Nerd_Man"]

[QUOTE="Sajedene"] EXACTLY. That is why I voted Dreamworks. If the topic said Dreamworks Animation then its completely different and I would have definitely voted Pixar. Like I said, it might not be a big deal here at GS, but I was trained to make it a big deal. :\

That's not the issue. I think you're just confused between the two.

Back in '94, Dreamworks SKG (Spielberg, Katzenberg, Geffren) was born. At the time it was just a single company, but in '04 Dreamworks Animation was removed from the main company and now is run by Katzenberg. Dreamworks Animation is now a completely independent company. It still has the logo of Dreamworks and all that, because it's run by the guy who started Dreamworks in the first place, but it is indeed now an independent company.

Whenever people compare Pixar to Dreamworks, there was never an issue of confusion between which divisions people are referring to. When Pixar and Dreamworks are in the same category, people should automatically know that the topic is the animation companies, not live-action companies.

Pixer dreamworks is just animals doing stuff humans would :?

Pixar of course.

The only thing I like from Dreamworks is Kung Fu Panda or Shreck, although their hand-drawn films are better animated ones.

They are the same to me.

Haven't seen UP yet, but I heard it's their best one yet. I've loved all of Pixar's movies, the same cannot be said for Dreamworks whatsoever.

I think the reason why most people drop the full name is because it's just too long. When people talk about Disney, they just say Disney... not The Walt Disney Company, because that's simply too long and would get lame having to say it all the time. Same with Dreamworks Animation SKG. Saying it out is just tedious after a while. It's pretty obvious when topics about Pixar and Dreamworks like this one comes up, that the topic is about the animation companies and nothing more.

pixar

toy story 1,2

ratitouille

finding nemo(fav movie of all time)

Dreamworks sucks to me, they've had maybe 3 good flicks.

Pixar can't be touched right now.

Someone should make a Pixar vs Ghibli vs Classic Disney thread, now that would be interesting.Brutal_Elitegs

[QUOTE="DJ_Lae"] Yeah, but then you can't take things completely at face value in a smarmy sort of way when someone forgets to stick 'Animation' on the end of Dreamworks.Sajedene

This is not your job, now is it? You originally voted Dreamworks because you thought the entire company including the complete other company that focuses on live-action. Yes that would be a big no-no if it were your job, but it's not. Just thought I'd correct you.

[QUOTE="Sajedene"] If I make that mistake at my job, people can get fired. So assumptions are a no go. I was not confused. They are two different things. If I compare Dreamworks to LucasFilm would you get what I am asking? If I say Pixar and LucasArts would that be comparable? What about LucasFilm Animation vs Pixar?Sajedene

Fair enough.

I don't really want to go back and forth with this anymore. I think we all know by now that this thread was focused on the animation studios. Not much more to be said, really.

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"][QUOTE="Brutal_Elitegs"]Someone should make a Pixar vs Ghibli vs Classic Disney thread, now that would be interesting.Brutal_Elitegs

Honestly, It's such a hard decision. I think I would give the very slight edge to Ghibli.

[QUOTE="Brutal_Elitegs"]

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"] I've been saying that throughout the entire thread. :Psammyjenkis898

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"]

[QUOTE="Brutal_Elitegs"] Talk is cheap :x Who would you choose? I honestly would be stuck at a crossroad if I were to try and choose between these three. I think nostalgia would tip the scale in favour of Disney and Pixar since I watched most of Ghibli's work as an adult but I feel blasphemous just saying that. I'd rather just not vote.

That would require a great deal of thought. Disney's classics have nostalgia on their side, but I try not to let nostalgia cloud my judgement. I haven't enjoyed Pixar's entire filmography, but of the films of theirs that I have enjoyed, are high up on my favorite animated films list. I haven't seen the entire catalog of Ghibli's films, but I loved every second from the ones that I have seen.

• Grave of the Fireflies
• Princess Mononoke
• Spirited Away
• My Neighbor Totoro
• How's Moving Castle

I think Grave of the Fireflies is my favorite. Spirited away being in a close second.

Too bad Brad Bird wasn't at Pixar at the time of him making The Iron Giant... That film would have gained massive success if it was in the hands of Pixar. That would have been complete win for both Mr. Bird and Pixar. Not that they don't win as is.. lol

I'm not that familiar with Ghibli, but my vote would go to Classic Disney over Pixar, no question.

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"]

[QUOTE="Brutal_Elitegs"] It's hard not to let nostalgia creep in. Although, last month I went on a Disney watching spree reliving my past favourites as well as enjoying the few I missed, and even though I looked at them more critically they're better than I remembered. I appreciate the animation more now that I'm older. It's hard to choose since as you said all three studios have produced films that comprise the top of my favourite animated film list (as well as a few other animated features from other sources: Iron Giant anyone?). What Ghibli films have you seen so far?

Classic Disney has tons of amazing films. Some of my favorites will have to go to Pinocchio and Peter Pan.
