DreamWorks Animation Annnounes Project Line-Up Through 2014


After a great year in 2010 with their animated hit How to Train Your Dragon, DreamWorks Animation has just revealed their full feature film release slate up through 2014. Though sequels like How to Train Your Dragon 2 dominate a third of their slate, there's plenty of original movies like the caveman comedy The Croods on the way along with a couple of adaptations like Mr. Peabody and Sherman. In addition, the animation studio's first spin-off is coming later this year and a film called Turbo which we apparently hadn't heard about previously. Check out their entire line-up below!

A Rare Look Inside Pixar Studios

Pixar has produced eleven feature films, beginning with Toy Story in 1995. It was followed by A Bug's Life in 1998, Toy Story 2 in 1999, Monsters, Inc. in 2001, Finding Nemo in 2003, The Incredibles in 2004, Cars in 2006, Ratatouille in 2007, WALL-E in 2008, Up in 2009 and Toy Story 3 (to date, the highest-grossing animated film of all-time, grossing over $1 billion worldwide), in 2010. All the eleven films that Pixar has produced have been largely successful, both critically and commercially. The $602 million average gross of their films is by far the highest of any studio in the industry.
