DreamWorks is one of the biggest names in modern
computer-animation: a studio whose commercial success and impact on
the medium rivals that of Pixar, and yet has received far less
critical attention.The book will historicise DreamWorks'
contribution to feature animation, while presenting a critical
history of the form in the new millennium. It will look beyond the
films' visual aesthetics to assess DreamWorks' influence on the
narrative and tonal qualities which have come to define
contemporary animated features, including their use of comedy,
genre, music, stars, and intertextuality. It makes original
interventions in the fields of film and animation studies by
discussing each of these techniques in a uniquely animated context,
with case studies from Shrek, Antz, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar,
Shark Tale, Bee Movie, Trolls and many others. It also looks at the
unusual online afterlife of these films, and the ways in which they
have been reappropriated and remixed by subversive online
communities.

Toy Story (John Lasseter, 1995), Pixar's first feature-length
production and Hollywood's first completely computer-generated
animated film, is an international cultural phenomenon. This
collection brings together a diverse range of scholars and
practitioners who together explore the themes, compositional
techniques, cultural significance and industry legacy of this
landmark in contemporary cinema. Topics range from industrial
concerns, such as the film's groundbreaking use of computer
generated imagery and the establishment of Pixar as a major player
in the animation world, to examinations of its music, aesthetics,
and the role of toys in both the film and its fandom. The Toy Story
franchise as a whole is also considered, with chapters looking at
its cross-generational appeal and the experience of growing up
alongside the series. As the first substantial work on this
landmark film, this book will serve as an authoritative
introduction for scholars, students and fans alike.
