What are the best Dreamworks movies on bluray?

JavaJulien · 12-06-2012, 06:47 PM

How to Train Your Dragon is excellent.
Kung Fu Panda is pretty good. KFP2 is even better.
Madagascar 3 was the only one of the trilogy I really liked.
Shrek 1 & 2 is good.

YMMV on the others. Monsters vs Aliens has a pretty big fanbase but I didn't particularly like it. Mega Mind, while good, is so joke heavy that every subsequent viewing isn't as enjoyable.

Shrek 3 & 4 and the first two Madagascars were pretty average.

Kung Fu Panda
How to Train Your Dragon

Those would be my top 2 choices. Love both of those movies to death!

Still waiting on Dreamworks to get off their asses and release Over the Hedge! Don't really understand why they won't get this one out there on blu ray!

I like Gladiator with Russell Crowe as Maximus. No man can wear a skirt like he can.

Well, A LOT of Dreamworks' early animation films still haven't seen a BD-release. Films like Antz, The Prince of Egypt, Chicken Run (not in the US), Road to El Dorado, Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Flushed Away, Shark Tale, Over the Hedge, Sinbad: Voyage of the Seven Seas, Joseph: King of Dreams. There are some hits and misses there, but I'd gladly pick up a few of them if they were available.

Prince of Egypt is the one I don't understand why it's not on blu yet. Lotsa big names in that one, plus a pretty popular movie for animation, I think anyway! Would buy it the day it came out!

King Troll · 12-06-2012, 07:20 PM

How to Train your Dragon is amazing.
Shrek 1 and 2 are akso really good but they always hover ariund the 15 price point and never really drop

HD Goofnut · 12-06-2012, 07:22 PM

Madagascar 1-3
How to Train Your Dragon
Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2
Monsters vs. Aliens

Prince of Egypt is one of my all time favorite animated films. For whatever reason, Dreamworks won't re-release any of their 2D Animated films.

I'm still waiting for Over the Hedge to hit Blu-ray. Still my favorite Dreamworks film....also where's Antz?

I think that they just shove them under the rug because there 2-D, there on the bottom of the Dreamworks websites and have only been reissued on DVD with their static rerelease slipcover

Prince of Egypt should be converted to 3D, it has true potential for a successful rerelease, it's equally or even more epic than Lion King or Beauty & the Beast.

Nothing that was shot 100% in 2D should be converted to 3D.
