About DreamWorks Animation

I took my granddaughters, ages 7 and 10, to see the only holiday movie kids’ movie: the new Puss N Boots. Why would you, with your creative minds, put out a kids’ movie that repeatedly shows violence as the solution to conflicts. Don’t the famous actors who do the voices in this film have children? Why would they participate in this film? Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for America’s children. I believe the easy access to guns is the main reason for this terrible scourge.
Dear DreamWorks,
My family has always loved Shrek and Donkey is a favorite character of ours. Have you considered making a movie about Donkey before meeting Shrek? Maybe call it “Donkey’s tale”. Maybe your writers could think of something better.
I have been watching the how to train your dragon movies please make more for everyone I just don’t want it to end now please make more movies not the series of the ones that take place in the future
I would like to see a Shark Tale 2 movie I really like this movie and movies are great to have a sequel! This movie came out in 2004 I think it’s time for one :-). Thank you for your great movies!
My daughter loves the How to Train Your Dragon series. She is very excited about the new show Dragons coming out, but is disappointed that it looks like people in Canada will not be able to access the show. Will the Dragons: The Nine Realms be available in Canada?
Me and my 8 year old absolutely LOVE Archibald’s Next Big Thing! But there are currently no toys or plushies of Archibald and his friends in stores. By the time I had a chance to sign up for DreamWorks, the Archibald mailings had already been sent out. My child is heartbroken that she can’t have her own Archibald to call her own and she cries in her room every night because of this. PLEASE can you send Archibald merchandise to stores like Amazon, Walmart, and Target? It would be a huge help since there are so many kids around the world who are in love with the series, and it seems a bit unfair that shows like Gabby’s Dollhouse get merchandise in stores, yet Archibald’s Next Big Thing doesn’t.
Dear DreamWorks. Do you not understand how brilliant your work is. Why haven’t yall started your own streaming channel. I mean Disney did but your stuff is so much better. I would so pay a monthly subscription to be able to have your movies at my finger tips. Please stop play with our emotions already and give us what we want and what we want is YOU ?
I have a 5 year old son who is obsessed with rescue riders and how to train your dragon . He is currently collecting the plush eggs but we are having difficulty getting hold of summer that is the only egg we do not have he askes everynight are you getting summer tomorow if theres any way i can get summer that would be brilliant or pointed in direction to order one as none of our local and a little further shops have had a summer in stock
Dear DreamWorks
My two daughters love the new show on Netflix called “Gabby’s Dollhouse” but there are no toys for the show yet. My 2 year old always says she is CatRat, and has a stuffed cat that she calls Pandy Paws but it doesn’t look anything like him. My 4 year old calls herself Gabby but it would be great if they actually have toys. Please let me know if its possible for toys in the future because it would make my girls so happy. Thanks
Dear Dreamworks,
It saddens me that I can’t find any toys for the “funk” trolls. My little granddaughter absolutely loves Trolls at 8 months old. In planning her first birthday we wanted to have little figurines of all her favorite Trolls. Why did the company completely ignore marketing for the Vibe City Trolls.
Dear DreamWorks,
I would like to see if Megamind will get a sequel since it has been 11 years and I’ve been waiting for a long time. Do you think you can tell me if Megamind will get a second movie or not?
Thank you for your time,
Emily, a Megamind fan
Hey guys. Hope ur doing great. I wants to request you to please kindly continue the how to train your dragon sequel. And also the race to the edge series. We love it immensely and it is absolutely awesome. Please don’t let us down you have done amazing works but please continue the sequel and the series. Please consider this request.
Please don’t stop the dragons:race to the edge series because it just blowed our mind and which was really good.How Race to the edge was a bridge from part 1 to part 2,please create another series for part 2 to “the hidden world” and continue it.I think you will consider this. Thankyou for all the series and movies.
I have a very important and serious question- personally. My 5 year old son loves all things Trolls, and it sadden me yesterday when I went to Target to try and look for some Troll toys/figures, and found ‘all things’ Trolls I’m the ‘girl’ section. What is that all about? Is Trolls targeted for girls only? Wish it could be more neutralized! Just a thought! Thank you for listening!
Dear DreamWorks.
How to train your dragon was a favourite of almost everyone. Why must you end it. It was so amazing. Please continue the franchise please all the fans will love it. Please do not let how to train your dragon end now.
Thank you
Fans
Dear DreamWorks,
My family loves the “How to train your dragon” movies. I saw on the internet that the Hidden World is going to be the last of the series. We would love if you could continue the series. Please don’t let this be the last one.
Thank you

Re: Chinese Stereotype
Why do you still continue to use the exaggerated, sometimes grossly-exaggerated, stereotypical, prejudicial, and biased “slanted eyes” for Chinese characters, as in your latest animation movie, the “Abominable,” giving non-Chinese moviegoers and viewers a slanted view of the largest population in the world, the second largest economy in the world, especially to the young and very young, at their formative, developmental, and malleable age?
Hollywood, of course, has traditionally hired Asian and Chinese actors and actresses and models for movies and TV shows, in mostly insignificant roles, with larger roles played by Caucasians pretending to be Chinese, with exaggerated slanted eyes, and other unfavorable, exaggerated features, giving the American and Western public a stereotypical and prejudicial, and probably a racist and belittling view of non-Caucasian or non-white people. Just like the British colonists, many American non-Caucasian people are born elsewhere before they emigrated to America. Their children, again like the British and other Western immigrants, are born, raised, and educated in America. And yet, based on typical Hollywood portrayals, in looks, manners, speech, and thoughts, the native-born non-Caucasian American citizens, do not recognize themselves as portrayed. The portrayals are done for expected white laughs and to emphasize false stereotypes; they emphasize and perpetuate , wrongly, differences – ” us and them”. As a direct result, many non-Caucasian children and adults unfairly encounter discriminating laughter, sneers, and belittling and humiliating remarks and actions in schools, among classmates, in employment opportunities, in work places. We don’t see or treat each other as just human beings homo sapiens, subject to the same needs, wants, and ambitions, for ourselves and for our families.
Of course, remaining as is and keeping the status quo may prompt better box office results. And money matters. But Hollywood business is more global than ever, especially with the huge and growing entertainment market in China and Asia. So, a change for the better may prove to be sound and profitable. We all need to promote better understanding and fairness, peace and harmony, and mutual respect among all the people in the world. Use of stereotypes, in all forms, is prejudicial, discriminating, and racist, and must cease now. Much has been done, but much remains to be done.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
