Pumped to cross another one of the big boys off my list. Dreamworks had a decent sized role in my childhood entertainment life but only about half of these will be re-watches, which I'm grateful for. This will undoubtedly be my longest animation challenge until the day I tackle Disney, so I'm ready to get started.
Dreamworks is the biggest non-mouse animation studio in the world.

Not re-watching either of The Croods because I've seen both of them recently and they're quite mediocre. Excluding all of the Aardman-produced ones as I covered them in my Aardman list earlier this year. Also excluding all DTV and TV specials, although I've seen some and probably will watch the rest at some point.
