dreamworks at its best > disney at its best

I think it’s because Dreamworks is more willing to take risks and experiment while Disney squarely sits with tried and true formulas with maybe slight shakeups now and then.

The Dreamworks catalogue is a lot more scattered in quality. With the Good Stuff like Kung Fu Panda, HTTYD and Prince of Egypt mixed in with a whole lotta bad (Shark Tale, the 3 and 4th Shrek movies) and a bigger lot of forgettable (Over The Hedge, Home, Turbo). 

Disney, on the other hand, tends to stick with tried and true formulas that get the job done. And while they generally pump out movies of a more consistent and on average better quality with a few duds here and there, they also take less risks and don’t tend to try and push the envelope that much  

(And when they DO try to be experimental, like with Atlantis, it tends to be bogged down by shoehorned in “Disney” elements.) 

Dreamworks also tends to shake it up with style direction and character design for each individual move (franchise), while Disney always seems to stick with the same doe eye Keane girls and Bambi animals.
