A shadow appears on it as it turns into a crescent moon, revealing the man (now in {{color|lightgray|light gray}}) from the last logo sitting on it. He takes out his fishing rod and casts it, swinging it around the clouds as the camera pans out. Then, the words "{{color|lightgray|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''<big>D</big>REAM<big>W</big>ORKS'''}}}}" zoom out and spread one-by-one below the moon, ending with "{{color|lightgray|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''ANIMATION SKG'''}}}}" appearing between two lines in {{color|lightgray|light gray}}. | ||

* There is a 20th anniversary variant of this logo created in 2014. The moon is pushed to the right more to accommodate room for the "2" on the left (with the moon taking the place of the "0" to form the "20") as the word "YEARS" appears underneath. Also, the logo is still and is silent. This can be seen on ''How to Train Your Dragon 2'' and ''Penguins of Madagascar''. | * There is a 20th anniversary variant of this logo created in 2014.

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 (without the line and "ANIMATION SKG") then fades in above the "20", as copyright information appears underneath the logo. | ||

A {{color|darkblue|navy blue}} energy forms a white moon in the center, and the redesigned Moon Man on a crescent carves onto the moon, forming the inverted print logo. Clouds blow in from the left and from the right, as the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''D'''<small>'''REAM'''</small>'''W'''<small>'''ORKS'''</small>}}" forms from light streaks under the logo, followed by the Comcast byline wiping in, as some clouds disappear from the background while some remaining ones slowly move upwards. | ||

The camera then pans throughout the sky, They pass by various DreamWorks characters from various DreamWorks franchises and films; in order, the Bad Guys (from the film of the same name, all inside a car, with Mr. Wolf pointing a finger gun at the Moon Man, which they do back), Toothless (from ''How to Train Your Dragon'', who flies out of a constellation and towards us), Po (from ''Kung Fu Panda'', on an island with a temple, performing a gesture), Ted Templeton Jr. (from ''The Boss Baby'', on the other side of the island, surrounded by toy blocks and a baby bottle), and Poppy (from ''Trolls'', inside a bubble). The Moon Man high-fives her, causing the bubble to burst and the scene to transition into a sunny atmosphere. We see some hills and a riverbank in this scene. The Moon Man then passes by Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey (all from ''Shrek''), the former two of whom they wave goodbye to. The Moon Child then flies above the clouds, into the cloud background from the last logo (with more defined clouds this time). As they stop in front of the moon, the Moon Man casts their rod, forming the print logo design. As this happens, the text from the previous logo fades in under the moon. | ||
