DreamWorks Animation: Difference between revisions

* ''Flushed Away'' simply has "SKG" underneath with lines on the left and right of it respectively, much like the regular [[DreamWorks Pictures]] logo. Starting with ''Shrek the Third'', the text reverted back to "ANIMATION SKG".

*Starting in 2006 with ''Flushed Away'', the kid and the moon appear above the text, replacing the two cumulus clouds in in the far middle of the logo.

*On ''Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa'' and ''Monsters vs. Aliens'', there are more clouds (so much they surround the kid on the moon) and when the kid releases the balloons, the camera doesn't pan up, it stays on the kid on the moon. The text appears below.

*On a teaser for ''Over the Hedge'', the moon is white, the kid doesn't move his legs and the logo is slightly streched from top to bottom. This could be seen on the DVD for ''Madagascar''.

*The print version is used on handheld versions of DWA video games.

'''FX/SFX:''' Excellent CGI, perfectly showcasing a dreamy, relaxing atmosphere. Done by [[Pacific Data Images]] on an HP workstation with custom 3D software.

'''Availability:''' Common. Seen on all DreamWorks Animation films from the time, such as ''Shark Tale'', ''Over the Hedge'' (the only film to still use the 2004/2005 version so far for confirmed unusual reasons), and ''Flushed Away''; it was first seen on ''Shrek 2'' and last seen on ''Monsters vs. Aliens''. It was also used as a placeholder home video logo until ''Over the Hedge''. Strangely, it was seen on ''The Ghost of Lord Farquaad'', not on the ''Shrek's Thrilling Tales'' DVD, but on a ''Shrek'' DVD sampler on General Mills packages of ''Cookie Crisp''. Also appears on some video games based on DreamWorks Animation films, except ''Shrek 2'' and ''Shark Tale'', is using 1997 DreamWorks Pictures logo.

'''Nicknames:''' "Little Boy Fishing On the Moon II", "Fishing Boy II", "Nighttime DreamWorks", "DreamWorks Fishing Boy II", "Fishing for Dreams"

* In 2014, a special 20th anniversary variant was created. The logo starts as normal, but when the boy's fishing hook swings by the screen, it sweeps up letters that form the word "YEARS" which then settle underneath the moon. From there, the number "2" appears to the left of the moon (with the moon taking the place of the "0" to form the "20") and the words "OF DREAMS" and "AND LAUGHTER" fade in below "YEARS" in columns. The DreamWorks text then fades in above the "20". This can be seen on ''The Penguins of Madagascar'' (the movie, not the series) and ''How to Train Your Dragon 2''. On the DreamWorks' anniversary brand campaign, copyright information appears underneath the logo.

* On ''Trolls'', the logo plays faster, and the ending is cut off, seguing into the custom variant made for the film.

* Starting in 2020, the line and "ANIMATION SKG" is replaced with the Comcast byline.

*On ''Puss In Boots'', a flamenco theme was heard.

*''The Boss Baby'' has a music box rendition of the theme.

'''Availability:''' Common. It was first seen on the Super Bowl trailer of ''Monsters vs. Aliens'', and later debuted officially on ''How to Train Your Dragon'', and appeared on all DreamWorks Animation movies from 2010 to 2017. It had recently been retired. The last film to use this logo was ''Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie'', which was the last DreamWorks Animation film to be distributed by 20th Century Fox before Universal. A still version can be seen at the end of their films and most of their shorts. Despite the logo's retirement in 2017, this made a surprise appearance on the trailer for the second season of ''Jurassic Park: Camp Cretagous''.

'''Logo:''' On a black background blue streaks fill the screen, as 2D painted clouds start appearing making a daytime scene. The scene fizzles with a sunset setting grows in size from the top-right. with more and more clouds appearing, slowly becoming 3D. as we zoom through the clouds, they take on a blue tint, as the scenery turns to nighttime. A blue energy forms a white sphere in the centre, and the boy on the moon appears on the sphere, forming a 2016 inverted print logo. Clouds blow in from the left, then from the right as the word "D<small>REAM</small>W<small>ORKS</small>" forms from light streaks under the logo, and the Comcast byline from the Universal logo wipes in, as some clouds disappear from the background. the remaining clouds slowly move upwards, and the logo fades out.

'''FX/SFX:''' Brilliant CGI, mixing 2-D and 3-D animation, this time, not having the Boy on the moon actually animate.
