God why couldnt I be born israeli I want to ruin everything and made nerds mad while getting rich
Katzenberg? More like Katzen-SPERG
>The Little Mermaid, Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Pocahontas, Toy Story, Antz, Prince of Egypt, Shrek, Shark Tale, Madagascar, kung fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, Megamind
you can't deny he was behind some good stuff
>Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg ordered that "Part of Your World" be removed from the film after observing that some children appeared to grow restless during the sparsely animated musical sequence while attending an early test screening of The Little Mermaid.
Nah.
Perhaps
he was so, so lucky that Shrek turned out a masterpiece and a blockbuster, cause otherwise Dreamworks' wouldn't have lasted long after the embarassing failure of El Dorado (a bad movie and a box office flop)
>El Dorado
>a bad movie

starts out decent but quickly goes downhill as the writing gets more and more stupid
i will never forgive him for Kung Fu Panda 2. One of the most unbearably unfunny animated films out there, and among the worst i've seen. How did Katzenberg allow that direct to video quality script to go into production is a mystery
Gay mafia. Heather O'Rourke. Michael Jackson.
He's a israelite
Textbook egotist control freak. Makes for a competent supervisor but a shitty human being.
El Dorado especially suffered from him being a control freak. He was THE voice during production
i'm sure Jennifer Yuh Nelson is a nice person in real life, but her directional debut, Kung Fu Panda 2, is one of the worst animated films i've seen from a mainstream studio. The story is paperthin and cliched, the pacing is rushed, there is no build up to anything, Po and the peawiener are annoying, the editing/camera work are exhausting, and the comedy is consistently unfunny
did kung fu panda 2 rape your childhood or something?
it's the comedy that bothers me the most. Easily the most unfunny film Dreamworks has ever put out

>computer generated films by Pacific Data Images (Antz, Shrek)
>traditional animation films made in-house at Glendale facility (Prince of Egypt, Road to El Dorado)
>stop motion films by Aardman (Chicken Run)
he was quite ambitious in the 90s after leaving Disney
Glendale facility' 2D films weren't successful as he hoped. Prince of Egypt performed below expectations and El Dorado flopped, so he chose to turn that facility in a new CG studio. Their first CG film, Shark Tale, was already announced and in full production before Spirit premiered. It's possible that, at first, he wanted Glendale facility to make both 2D and CG films, but the failure of Sinbad made him change his mind
What fricking documentaries are you watching?
He was kinda the architect of the Disney renaissance and basically felt he deserved to be President after current one died but Eisner gave the position to Roy Disney instead so he basically had a mega b***hfit and has been waging war with them ever since.

quite the interesting story behind that group. Spielberg assembled them at UK in 1989 and they were known as Amblimation for a while. Katzenberg then brought everyone to Glendale in 1995 and turned them into Dreamworks Animation. Around 2001, they began making their first CG film, which premiered in late 2004. They've been making CG films of inconsistent quality since then
one reason why Shrek turned out so great is because Katzenberg wasn't present at PDI everyday. Kiwi director Andrew Adamson was also more defiant/stubborn towards him than previous directors (like the El Dorado directing duo, which were easy to manipulate)
nice 2005 picture, back from the glory days of Antz, Shrek, Madagascar and Shark Tale
Gee I wonder what his Early Life section says.
Antz credits playing High Hopes was genius, since it was the first film by a studio hoping to become Disney' biggest rival. Plus, the lyrics are about an ant, and the lighthearted nature of the song is an ironic contrast with the film's dark elements (Antz is all about irony)
Antz and Shrek 1 were made using Silicon Graphics tech, but everything after was made with Hewlett Packard, allowing for much faster production. This is how they're able to make multiple films at once, releasing sometimes 3 per year. Dreamworks entered a partnership with HP Invent in early 2002
Based Sharktalegay shits up another thread
there were two headquarters for the longest time : PDI at Bay Area and the facility in Glendale. They worked separately at first, but soon installed a teleconference system to stay in touch all the time, shown in pic related. This is also how they were able to release films so quickly : by having 2 different facilites. That's over now tho. PDI closed down in 2015
Shrek 2 and Shark Tale especially got affected by this. Both had 3 directors, 3 producers and Katzenberg as executive producer. They were such busy films for that reason
I don't think Shrek 2 was negatively affected by that. But Sharktale sucked from what I remember.
first thing ST directors do in the audio commentary is give thanks to Katzenberg and the 3 producers, since they were just as important and creatively involved. That's just how things work at this studio
>Miguel tells Altivo that he'll give him the apple if he brings him a pry bar
>Altivo brings him the keys, yet Miguel doesn't give him the apple for some reason
lots of dumb writing in this film. I also doubt a horse would be so stupid to jump from a ship deck to open sea at night for an apple
>about to die from thirst in a rowboat, they reach land, start kissing the sand from joy, but then want to return to the rowboat inmediately because of some skeletons instead of staying a bit for supplies
>they coincidentally arrive to the same beach which marks the start of the map, and somehow got to land before Cortes and his faster ships (they also arrive to the same beach, as shown later)
>Tulio says "You kept the map, but you couldn't grab a little more food?", which makes no sense if you think about it
poor writing
