Dreamworks and Pixar are two of the biggest film animation creators of all time.
Now I always thought that it would be a tight call as to which one is the best out of this duelling duo. The only way to decide is to put together this article to decide once and for all who is the best at producing animated films,
Dreamworks or Pixar?
However that’s not all it comes down to. Money-wise Dreamworks also wins. On the list of most profitable movies (www.the-numbers.com) Shrek 2, Dreamworks Animation’s most profitable film comes in at number 7 with a profit of nearly $390 billion dollars. Compared to Toy Story 3, Pixar’s most profitable in at number 19, with $330 billion in profit. So numbers in both production and profit swing in the favour of Dreamworks. However, of course, it’s not all down to money and production rates.
It’s obvious just from these facts alone that it is a tight race between these two huge animation production companies. My personal preference would swing towards Pixar purely because they produced my two favourite animated film series: Toy Story and Monsters Inc. The first Toy Story film was released the year before I was born (Ed: Well, now I feel old,) and I grew up with it constantly being in my life (with the follow of Toy Story 2 and 3.) And no words could explain the amount of excitement I felt when it was announced there would be a second Monsters film. However, bringing it down to the facts and figures alone, it seems that Dreamworks Animation is the trump card, and many people seem to think that Pixar couldn’t beat its first six films and has since had a bit of a step backwards.
Though really, this sort of thing does depend largely on your personal preferences. But I would love to hear what you guys think! Which do you prefer, Dreamworks or Pixar? And what is your favourite animated film of all time?
