'''DreamWorks Animation''' is an American animation studio, considered by many as a successor to [[Amblimation]]. DreamWorks Animation has produced a series of critically and commercially successful computer-animated films, including ''Shrek'', ''Shark Tale'', ''Madagascar'', ''Over the Hedge'', ''Bee Movie'', ''Kung Fu Panda'', ''Monsters vs. Aliens'', ''How to Train Your Dragon'', and ''Megamind'', among others. It was formed by the merger of the feature animation division of [[DreamWorks Pictures|'''DreamWorks''' Pictures]] and [[Pacific Data Images]] (PDI). Originally formed under the banner of DreamWorks Pictures, it was spun-off into a separate public company in 2004. Starting with ''Over the Hedge'', their movies were distributed through [[Paramount Pictures]] (in turn owned by [[Paramount Global|Viacom]]), who acquired the rest of DreamWorks SKG in February 2006. | '''DreamWorks Animation''' is an American animation studio, considered by many as a successor to [[Amblimation (UK)|Amblimation]].
