  • Animating Failure
    ChApter six Animating Failure enDing, Fleeing, surviving Who am I? Why a fox? Why not a horse, or a beetle, or a bald eagle? I’m saying this more as, like, existentialism, you know? Who am I? And how can a fox ever be happy without, you’ll forgive the expres- sion, a chicken in its teeth? —Fantastic Mr. Fox On the topic of animation, as on so many other topics, I disagree with Slavoj Žižek (2009), who, in an article on the link between capitalism and new forms of authoritarianism, offers up the ani- mated film Kung Fu Panda (2008) as an example of the kind of ideological sleight of hand that he sees as characteristic of both representative democracy and films for children. For Žižek, the fat and ungainly panda who accidently becomes a kung fu mas- ter is a figure that evokes George W. Bush or Silvio Berlusconi: by rising to the status of world champion without either talent or training, he masquerades as the little man who tries hard and succeeds, when in fact he is still a big man who is lazy but suc- ceeds anyway because the system is tipped in his favor. By em- bedding this narrative in a fluffy, cuddly panda bear film, Žižek implies, what looks like entertainment is actually propaganda. Žižek has managed to get a lot of mileage out of his reading of this film precisely because his “big” critiques of economy and world politics seem so hilarious when personified by a text sup- posedly as inconsequential as Kung Fu Panda.

  • Madagascar: a Crate Adventure Opens at Universal Studios Singapore® on 16 May 2011
    p r e s s r e l e a s e Madagascar: A Crate Adventure Opens at Universal Studios Singapore® on 16 May 2011 SINGAPORE – 09 MAY 2011 – Universal Studios Singapore, the world-class theme park within Resorts World Sentosa, the first integrated resort destination in Singapore, today announced that guests can soon join the famous escapees from the New York Zoo when Madagascar: A Crate Adventure debuts on 16 May. This new theme park attraction is inspired by DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: DWA) Madagascar film series, one of the most successful animated movie franchises of all time. Among the longest rides in Universal Studios Singapore, Madagascar: A Crate Adventure is a nine-minute indoor flume ride that takes guests on a river boat adventure with Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo. The Central Park “Zoosters” join forces with the eccentric leader of the local lemurs, King Julien – and Universal Studios Singapore guests – to help defeat the dreaded Foosa. Aided by the technically-savvy and hilarious Penguins, the heroes and guests together defeat the Foosa at the rim of a bubbling volcanic cauldron. Along the way, they encounter a giant alligator, wild- eyed spiders and more. Mr. Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chief Executive Officer of DreamWorks Animation, said: “Madagascar: A Crate Adventure is the primary attraction built within the first-ever theme park zone dedicated exclusively to all things related to and inspired by our Madagascar movie series.

  • 2007 Annual Report
    2007 Annual Report As a celebration of the creative spirit that drives everything we do at DreamWorks Animation, we held an artwork contest in 2007 in which we invited all employees to submit a design to be featured in the Annual Report. Every submission celebrated the unique and fulfilling process of working on an animated film at the Company. Rhion Magee, Consumer Products, created the winning submission. Dear Fellow Shareholders, I am pleased to report that 2007 was our most successful year since we took DreamWorks Animation public in 2004, thanks in large part to the blockbuster success of Shrek the Third and the Shrek franchise as a whole. In addition to boasting the best domestic opening in the history of animated film, Shrek the Third became the second highest grossing film of 2007 in the U.S. and the fourth best performing animated movie of all time. Even in a challenging home video market, Shrek the Third has risen above the competition and performed well. In 2007, we advanced our mission to successfully expand the Shrek brand with Shrek the Halls, our first made-for-television special. Over 21 million people throughout the U.S. watched the program this past holiday season on ABC. Additionally, Shrek made his first appearance at the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as the official 2007 Ambassador for the event. In December, we will take our brand expansion one step further by bringing Shrek the Musical to the Broadway Theatre in New York City. We are very excited about this tremendous opportunity to further extend one of the most successful franchises in Hollywood history.
