DreamWorks Animation has gone through a few significant successes (" Shrek,"" Madagascar" ) and some notable failures. Since its initial appearance in 1998, it has evolved, expanded, merged, and been bought by major studios ( now Universal ).

Watch how" Abominable" compares to the other big Studios Animation movies on this list as it comes out this weekend.

36. Bee Movie ( 2007 )

do that it were merely a B film. It grades on any slope, much like a D. That doesn't challenge the laws of nature, does it not? His journey into video, which was released a decade after Jerry Seinfeld's huge-hit TV show, is amazingly ugly, joyless, and belabored. And strangely, Barry, Seinfeld's bee character, develops feelings for a human (voiced by Renee Zellweger ). Seinfeld's portrayal of the key existence of ants is a bore with a money B.

35. Shrek Forever After ( 2010 )

The motion views feel reused, not achieving the original's inspired cleverness and communicable entertaining. Shrek and Fiona have three young ogrelings who have settled into a comfortable house. Definitely? Is this intended for children or adults? Shrek & Co. still have some charm in this fifth, and apparently ultimate, instalment, but the enjoyment feels forced. Instead of being slapsticky and manufactured, the referrals to the classic roll tradition have vanished. Subsequently Shrek experiences a existential crisis.

34. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted ( 2012 )

Quick is not always enjoyable. Mia Farrow and Cirque du Soleil jokes wildly over fresh people. However, the obscene, audible, and boring tale don't win over viewers. The line keeps focusing on the importance of old and new connections as well as creativity and inventiveness. However, some children may yell at the idea of a" stinky poopy carnival." This fourth round is seldom new, but it never loses any life or vibrant shades. Additionally, energetic sight is not the same as visual overwhelm.

33. Penguins of Madagascar ( 2014 )

Although they may have been overexposed, the birds are wonderful. They come off as uncharismatic and replaceable in this clumsy prequel, the third film in the" Madagascar" company. The video is ordinary and the moving is frenzied. A sense of joylessness and resentment are further enhanced by the plot's attempts to merge an provenance narrative, a coming-of-age story, a comedy funny, and perhaps a punishment thriller.

32. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa ( 2008 )

This overly episodic, uninteresting follow-up to the fast-paced classic crams in a lot of characters- besides the unique zoo quartet- next doesn't supply them enough to do. Our African soldiers, who include giraffes, hippopotamus, lions, and zebras, constantly jabber in Africa. In the middle of the chaos, career lessons are learned.

31. The Boss Baby ( 2017 )

In a baby film, you'd expect to see some washroom laughter, but this one has way too many grubby diapers. certainly this film. The sensory design is hazy, the narrative is confusing, and the storyline is disjointed. The narrative feels forced and uninspired despite the title protagonist's voiced by Alec Baldwin, a POTUS mimic. Without any of the heart, it has some of the" Toy Story" external flaws. The character of the film, who is a boy, says," Somebody has a tease spot.

30. Mr. Peabody and Sherman ( 2014 )

Peabody is made up of jokes and swimming fun. Although it does have some endearing zaniness, it comes across as disjointed and desperately paced. It is a shackle to the TV shows of the smarty-pants time-traveling canine and his cats teenager, Sherman. The 3D visuals has a quirky feel more than pure. The obtuse, moustachioed canine makes some ingenious petit mots, but the film is forced and repetitive.

29. Shark Tale ( 2004 )

Despite Will Smith and Jack Black's improvising abilities, history is all, and this one is narrow, shallow, and runny. With admirers, artwork artists, and undersea gangsters, this industrial story is liquid. This planet is very less grittier than the other wet animated trip," Finding Nemo," and it is also significantly less visually appealing. Martin Scorsese is a jellyfish, finish with the director's personal thick eyelashes, and Angelia Jolie plays cod noir Lola.

28. The film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas ( 2003 )

In a responsibility indicative of a slimmed-down Ursula from" The Minor Mermaid," Michelle Pfeiffer demonstrates how her seductive roar can be used to good and evil. Brad Pitt portrays the title rogue with a little" Aladdin" flair. Although the outcomes are effective, there isn't much miracle in them. A self-assured maritime girl indicative of Katharine Hepburn is voiced by Catherine Zeta Jones in this daring adventure. These Disney evaluations don't maybe been made without cause, didn't they?

27. The Road to El Dorado ( 2000 )

This ought to be a path that is not traveled. There are some interesting occasions, but too many level ones tend to make this lifeless ground. The tunes by Tim Rice and Elton John are inconsistent and lacking. Although the words acting expertise of Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branaugh, Edward James Olmos, Rosie Perez, and the tale of a lost South American metropolis of metal is amazing, it doesn't seem appropriate for kids or grownups.

26. Trolls ( 2016 )

This is colorful, excited eyesight confectionery with shrill troll singing and dancing! However, given that producer Mike Mitchell moreover directed" Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked," anticipation does get minimal. Justin Timberlake's cliched tracks, which also serve as a neurotic conspiracy theory, often help to break up the kaleidoscope monotony. About the most authentic ingredient in this neon-lit, hug-filled, and cliché-filled matter is a monster poops cupcakes.

25. The Croods ( 2013 )

Mediocre comedy fun and a rambling story hinder this visually appealing animated adventure, which features beautiful hybrids of ancient animals and dramatic ancient fauna. Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage, Cloris Leachman, and Ryan Reynolds all contribute vocally. Another lively film where the actions scenes don't need to be in 3D. Additionally, Reynold's Guy resembles Chris Sanders ' co-director Chris Sanders ' charming 2010 animated film" How to Train Your Dragon" which features a young protagonist named Hiccup.

24. Home ( 2015 )

This obedient sci-fi humor jumble about household, heart, and outsiders trying to fit in is brightly coloured, but descriptively flat. It borrows from" Lilo & Stitch,"" Antz," and" Despicable Me." But, the essential figures are wonderfully different. It's sporadically entertaining, but it's more frequently memorable and well-worn, with feverish than endearing wannabe charm.

23. Megamind ( 2010 )

Although Will Ferrell's portrayal of the evil mythical character is fun to look at and has some comedic appeal, this collection of superhero movies feels like a jumble of additional animated films. The other was Despicable Me, which was exceptional. With simply the right amount of naught exaggerations, Brad Pitt accents Metro Gentleman. It suffers from having the bulbously shaven, reckless monster from the next active film of the year. Also a persona named Minion can be found here.

22. Over the Hedge ( 2006 )

A loud, humorous, and comparatively recent examination of the threeC's: ingestion, usage, and consumption ( of the overwhelming and obvious kind ). Unfortunately, it frequently succumbs to crude humor behavior. Parents may enjoy the sweet communication about overindulgence and the importance of integrity, which prevents veering into sentimental territory. The plot, which is based on a humorous ribbon by Michael Fry and T. Lewis, strikingly juggles humor and thrilling activity scenes.

21. Turbo ( 2013 )

Family-friendly suffer can be produced while watching an escargot move. However, this outsider account is undermined by widespread product selection and significant saving from Pixar's" Cars." There are a few giggles before it returns to the formulaic course of" The Tortoise and the Hare" tale. And you must adore the message acting talents of Snoop Dogg, Paul Giamatti, Luis Guzman, Maya Rudolph, Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, and others.

20. Madagascar ( 2005 )

The manic history feels like a bunch of one-liners strung along, peppered with toilet fun, and the graphics is beautiful and the stylized drawings of park wildlife are friendly-looking. Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Schwimmer, and Sacha Baron Cohen make the jokes come courtesy of comic voice actors. A lemurs song and dance sequence that features Cohen as king is the highlight.

19. Shrek the Third ( 2007 )

Although the first two installments about the beloved ogre are stronger than the first two, the satirical situations, un-Disney jokes, and fairy tale re-invention still have their zest and humor. And the film's overall aesthetic is undeniably vibrant. Ironic wit is familiar, but it still manages to be entertaining and entertaining. It's a more relaxed experience, as if it's not as focused on proving its post-modern cleverness.

18. Kung Fu Panda 2 ( 2011 )

Despite the re-read, the animation and still feel fairly new for our pudgy black-and-white warrior, and the animation is still strong. There is a delightfully inspired wish series with a kung-fu fighting carrot, even though the narrative is formulaic and the spiritual is well-worn. Po, the infamous martial artist panda, reunites his supporting cast, including Crane ( David Cross ), Mantis ( Seth Rogen ), Viper ( Lucy Liu ), and Tigress ( Angelina Jolie ), to confront Lord Shen ( Gary Oldman ), who has a plan to wreak havoc on kung fu.

17. The Prince of Egypt ( 1998 )

Amazing visual effects are present in one of the earliest Studios films, including displays of masses swarming the pyramid and an enthralling horse race a la" Ben Hur." Although the music numbers are uninteresting, this bible saga's Moses has been made a more individual and realistic character. Given the subject issue, it's a little too critical, but the subdued coloring scheme is gorgeous.

16. Monsters vs. Aliens ( 2009 )

This mildly sarcastic fiction offers oral one-liners while also paying intimate homage to '50s sci-fi horror. Yet in 3D, the brilliant shades, captivating figures, and potent sensory results all work together. He sets the tone for his obnoxious, sappy persona by playing the five personal information from" Close Encounters of the Second Kind" when he arrives on an alien spacecraft. Would someone violently"! He screams at the defense. Stephen Colbert voices the U.S. senator in a brilliantly crafted performance.

15. Abominable ( 2019 )

A wonderful but cliched story, clever jokes that are not obnoxious, and lovely colors and textures. Nothing about this movie can really alter the graphics, and but, you can't support but wander out of the drama with a smile on your face.

14. Rise of the Guardians ( 2012 )

This 3D computer-animated tale based on the William Joyce series of books is a visually exciting scene, if a minor saturated, because it focuses on adolescence wonder. The film gets crowded with all those characters competing for camera moment, but the idea of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy joining causes like a book army of Avengers behavior soldiers is nice. This mash-up of magical soldiers features a lot of fantastical razzle-dazzle.

13. Spirit: The Cimarron ( 2002 )

Matt Damon gives words to a wild stallion colt dwelling in the 19th century, and the American landscape is finely rendered. However, the sentimental pony love movies could have been abandoned. A Lakota courageous person wants to help Spirit, but most people are bent on controlling the horses. The impressive horse, a literary story told in its entirety in the Old West until he is captured by horses traders and sold to a infantry regiment, lives exquisite life in the Old West before being abandoned in favor of a cavalry regiment.

12. Flushed Away ( 2006 )

This clever joint venture between Aardman Animation and DreamWorks Animation fuses the clever lunacy of" Shrek" with the daffy humor of" Wallace & Gromit." The story of a spoiled animal keyboard that was dumped into the drains is both endearing and entertaining. Fast-paced pop culture references feature puny European humour, but bath laughter ventures are less enjoyable. Hugh Jackman directs a talented speech cast that portrays a variety of rabbits, flies, and frogs.

11. Antz ( 1998 )

The accents of Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Sylvester Stallone, and Gene Hackman are all featured in the film. This tale appeals to our imagination. The self-determination spiritual is bulky older news, despite the intricate detail being beautifully compelling. Allen as the wary and psychotic Z is the first to appear in the system video, which is visually stunning and the figures are well-drawn. What child or adult hasn't been curious about the intricate societies of termites as we watch their figures march fervently?

10. Shrek 2 ( 2004 )

Nearly as hilarious, wonderful, and entertaining as the first movie with the huge goofball. The endearing Puss in Boots, beautifully voiced by Antonio Banderas, who afterward had a prequel with this personality, an gorgeous parody of his Zorro role, dominates the lovely curmudgeon ogre and his psychotic donkey pal in this one.

9. Kung Fu Panda 3 ( 2016 )

The animated landscape is stunning, brilliantly colored, and interactive; it resembles a Foreign variation of the Shangri La township in terms of its appearance. The humour is lighthearted and occasionally cheesy. An entertaining, family-friendly story with a communication that" we always have more to understand," which feels all the more significant in these anti-intellectual instances.

8. Puss in Boots ( 2011 )

Since the dashing animal outlaw/lover/flamenco dance in the sardonic purple helmet was the Breakaway Star from" Shrek 2," a prequel was unavoidable. Antonio Banderas makes the daring cutie just amazing with his spot-on humorous timing and poetic Colonial accent. The lively, well-written romp has an overthetop finale and an adorable romance with Kitty Soft Paws (voiced by Salma Hayek ).

7. Kung Fu Panda ( 2008 )

The occasionally clichéd comedy and well-known message are compensated for by the gorgeous visuals in this lively story and their Chinese-inspired details. The fun is increased by Jack Black's portrayal of the titular character. And who can resist an animated film with the voices of legends as Dustin Hoffman and Ian McShane?

6. Shrek ( 2001 )

A joyful, quick-witted, and very funny subversion of traditional fairy tales. It featured the first and best use of Leonard Cohen's hauntingly beautiful" Hallelujah," which is not only full of cheeky fun but also is a lot of fun. Additionally, Fiona, Shrek's love interest (voiced by Cameron Diaz ), was given a wonderfully affirming message for girls. It echoes the Disney formula and builds on Eddie Murphy's famously funny ogre-donkey romp and the famously funny Mike Myers ogre romp.

5. Chicken Run ( 2000 )

The promise of his entrancing short animated shorts" The Wrong Trousers" and" A Close Shave" was delivered by the first feature film from clay-model animator Nick Park. Who would have imagined that such delicious wit could be produced by poultry, egg farms, and powerful machinery? It's a fantastic animated wonder that adults might find entertaining even more entertaining than children. Add in a prison-themed thriller setting, and the absurdity is gone.

4. The Were-Rabbit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit ( 2005 ) is Wallace & Gromit.

This perfectly timed mystery features the daft English inventor and his devoted, stoic mutt and is brimming with whimsy, wordplay, and eccentricity. There is nothing cheesy about this inspired celebration of fromage and fun. It's absurd, good-hearted, meticulously designed, and quintessentially British in humor. Its inconsistent cleverness and silly core are irresistible.

3. The Hidden World: How to Train Your Dragon ( 2019 )

The cute and the dark are fused in Dean DeBlois ' delightful, gorgeous, and touchingly conclusive third adaptation of Cressida Cowell's fantastical universe of Vikings and firebreathers.

2. How to Train Your Dragon 2 ( 2014 )

The uncommon sequel that feels natural and necessary, building on the charm of the first with resonance, character development, and thrilling adventure. It's amusing, moving, funny, and thrilling. For instance, the hero's parents don't have to write a long production number; instead, they re-unite in a gentle folk song. Additionally, we get to meet a bizarre creature who fights in battle. It has more ambitious and limited scope, with poignant moments of subtly moving emotion.

1. How to Train Your Dragon ( 2009 )

Audiences find themselves transported as they watch Toothless, his beloved, green-eyed winged dragon, soar above the Nordic landscape and Hiccup, a gangly teenage boy, with joy. Despite the quick pacing and exhilaration, there is nuance, mystery, and narrative heft here. It's a uncommon film directed at children where the hero faces peril but doesn't fully overcome it. The 3D animation is breathtakingly beautiful. Hiccup loses a leg despite being undoubtedly brave.
