DreamWorks Studios are a film company founded in October 12th 1994 by Steven Spielberg,
Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. Their headquarters are Universal City in California USA.
The key people in DreamWorks are Steven Spielberg who is the principal partner and Stacy Snider who is the co-chairman CEO.
Steven Spielberg is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, video game designer and studio entrepreneur. Three of Spielberg’s films broke box office records each become the highest grossing film made at the time. These films were Jaws (1975), ET (1982) and Jurassic Park (1993).
DreamWorks began in 1994 and the SKG under the logo stands for the three founders last names. In December 2005 the founders sold their studio to Viacom who own Paramount Pictures. In 2008 DreamWorks ended their partnership and sold to India Reliance ADA group for $1.5 billion. The movie studio owned by Reliance is led by Anil Ambani.
In 2004 DreamWorks animation SKGs films were distributed by Paramount Pictures and really took off.
In 1998 DreamWorks produced their first animated film Antz. The company won here consecutive academy awards for best picture. These were American Beauty, Gladiator and A beautiful mind.
The two films that I have chosen to research from DreamWorks are Shrek and Antz.
