Dreamworks Children’s Movies
Sherk and Sherk 2
One of the classics in the world of children’s movies is, without a doubt, Sherk . Breaking with all the stereotypes of a traditional tale, its success is due to many perfectly united points. First of all, it is a film intended for both adults and children, as both audiences will enjoy and have fun equally.
Second, and as we said before, it is a film that in its year of release, 18 years ago, was an innovation in its plot. A story that is set in a castle and everything seems typical of a fairy tale and princesses. However, in this story nothing is what it seems and it is the green ogre who saves the princess from the prince.
From there, the funny conversations and the humanization of all the characters with everyday problems will be the elements that hook the audience.
Such was the success of the film that in 2002 it won the Oscar for best animated film, in addition to launching three more films later with the funniest ogre on the big screen as the main character.
How to Train Your Dragon
Dragons are one of the most loved literary and cinematographic characters by children for the fascination that these beings produce in them. For this reason, this film, released in 2010, is another of the great successes of Dreamworks children’s films.
Despite being a children’s film, since it is recommended for those over six years of age, it is thus a film with a predictable story for the elderly but which, nevertheless, will hook the little ones throughout its duration.
Like most children’s movies, How to Train Your Dragon also has an important message among its adventures by referring to such an important aspect today as it is to always be yourself and not want to be the same as others.
Once again, Dreamworks was able to take advantage of the success of the first installment of the dragons, launching the second part in 2014 and the third part in 2019.

A year before Shrek made the leap to the big screen, Dreamworks decided to launch Chicken Run . Although it was released 19 years ago, it is still the highest grossing stop motion film of all time.
The plot of the story centers on a chicken coop in which some chickens prepare a plan to escape after knowing what will become of them. A story whose objective is to amuse the whole family and also be able to show them the conditions in which animals can sometimes live.
Kung Fu Panda
Children love children’s movies featuring animals and it is for this reason that Kung Fu Panda has become such a hit. Since its inception, this film has always wanted to show itself as a comedy, starring a series of animals, especially a panda, who venerates the Furious Five, the most powerful warriors in kung fu, who are nothing more than no less than more animals.
In addition to its characters, Kung Fu Panda is one of the animation films that stands out the most in the field of children for its graphic design and the powerful colors it uses in all its scenes. Again, Dreamworks launched in 2011 and 2016 respectively the second and third parts of the saga.
