Shrek 2
Madagascar
Over the Hedge
Antz
Flushed Away
The Prince of Egypt

The original Shrek was so original and funny for an older audience, it appealed to me the most out of the other Dreamwork films.

cj-kent · 06-02-2008, 08:33 PM

Prince of Egypt for me was the best total package. I'm a sucker for hand-drawn animation. Sinbad was good too.

Elandyll · 06-02-2008, 08:38 PM

Shrek, Shrek2, Over the Edge and Sinbad are imo their best works.

It's really too bad Sinbad tanked, it deserved better than this (specially with M. Pfeiffer as Erys).

Secretagentnumber6 · 06-02-2008, 08:38 PM

For me it is Wallace and Gromit. Followed by Over the Hedge and Shrek.

Ranger-R · 06-02-2008, 09:21 PM

I like Over the Hedge, but Prince of Egypt is pretty good too. Shrek has gotten a little annoying which now ruins the first one for me. I'll still be picking it up on blu when it comes out in Sept. though

Over The Hedge

owa · 06-02-2008, 10:20 PM

I voted Prince of Egypt since I like the story a little more but it was hard picking it over Shrek. I like Shrek almost as much and think it's one of the funnier animated movies.

nbxfan · 06-04-2008, 12:27 AM

Hands down it's got to be Prince of Egypt. Likely one of the best Animated movies ever. I say this as an agnostic...From there, Over The Hedge...

Also, though it may carry the Dreamworks logo, much like Pixar for Disney, Wallace and Grommit was an Aardman(spelling) Animations movie that was distributed by Dreamworks.

jswilli1 · 06-04-2008, 12:48 AM

If you have the Bee movie, check out the jukebox section in the "extras". There you can see some music videos of Madagascar, Shark Tale, All Three Shreks, Flushed Away, and Over the Hedge in HD. The audio is 5.1 DD. I thought Shark Tale in HD looked good especially with all the vibrant colors.

cruzzer cruz · 06-04-2008, 01:34 AM

the only one i even remotely like is Over the Hedge.

Shrek makes me want to kill a kitten, i hate it so much.

I prefer Disney-Pixar personally.

BoneWSO · 06-04-2008, 02:08 AM

I'd have to say Spirit is #1 followed by Madagascar then Shrek #1. I have not seen Over the Hedge, waiting for it to come to blu so I can make a blind buy.

Marine Mike · 06-04-2008, 02:14 AM

I voted for Shrek as it was original and witty as well as keeping me laughing the whole way through.

Kung Fu looks like it will be their best yet. Getting excellent reviews so far.

Wallace and Gromit by far But only because Dreamworks only distributed!

Dreamworks Animation movies for the most part suck donkey balls!

Especially the Shrek sequels and Madagascar

Bluoholic · 06-04-2008, 01:35 PM

Flushed, chicken and wallace are clay motion not animations

MarkJ801 · 06-04-2008, 07:45 PM

Wow, looking over that list makes Dreamworks look pretty terrible. Shrek is the only one that didn't totally tank.

If Kung Fu Panda was on there, I would have gone with that one. However most people haven't seen it yet...

Same here. I liked Shrek the first time around, but it gets old really quick (1+2, 3 was just bad).

Pixar movies on the other hand (and I mean all of them) I can watch over and over again (and I have to because of our youngest one

).

I really hope this is as good as the teaser promised.

SP@Z. · 06-04-2008, 08:01 PM

Shrek 2, but out of all the computer animated movies, I enjoyed Surf's Up the most, it was funny and original. Although so was the first Shrek and Toy Story.
