DreamWorks SKG

(Redirected from Dreamworks)

DreamWorks SKG (Spielberg, Katzenberg, Geffen) is a Big Ten studio in the United States of America which develops, produces, and distributes films, music, and television programming.

The company was founded by Steven Spielberg (movie director and co-founder of Amblin Entertainment), Jeffrey Katzenberg (former head of Disney Animation Department) and David Geffen (founder of Geffen Records) in October 1994 with financial backing from Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft).

DreamWorks Records never lived up to expectations and was sold in October 2003 to Universal Music Group which now operates the label as DreamWorks Nashville.

The studio has had its greatest financial success with movies, specifically animated movies. Shrek 2 (2004) is the highest grossing animated film of all time. Based on this success, DreamWorks Animation, Inc. is planning to separate from DreamWorks SKG and become its own publicly traded company. In fact, DreamWorks has emerged as the main competitor to Pixar in the age of computer-generated animation.

Below is a list of its productions as of 2004.
