DreamWorks Animation doesn't have quite the consistent track record that Pixar does, but when they get it right, they really get it right.

I'm one of the biggest critics of Dreamworks Animated films, and a self confessed Pixar fanboy. Kung Fu Panda is the only movie released from Dreamworks Animation that I'm proud to own on my DVD shelf, and I've found most of their other productions to be filled with unfunny pop culture-infused jokes and uninspired designs/story.…
