5 Dreamworks films that have aged well (and 5 that have aged badly)

DreamWorks Animation was originally founded in 1994 and, in more than 25 years, has maintained a legacy among the best animated films distributors.They may not be at the height of Disney or Pixar, but the fact that Dreamworks remains in that conversation is worth mentioning, to begin.

As part of that upper step of animation creators, DreamWorks has offered the world a lot of classics over the decades, many of which are still maintained today.However, there are other older works in Dreamworks that, to put it softly, have aged like milk instead of wine.

10 Envejeció bien: El camino de El Dorado se convirtió en un clásico de culto

When I walk to El Dorado he reached cinemas for the first time, it was a box office pump with mixed criticism.Despite being an original and well animated idea, the name of Dreamworks as a brand was not yet large enough to help this movie recover its budget.In more recent years, the public and criticism have been more friendly to this film, revaluing it as a classic.

Thanks to the culture of the memes they remember on the social networks that this film exists, the path of El Dorado has gained a new life.As Polygon says, "El Dorado is the perfect film for the Internet era".

9 No envejeció bien: Rise of the Guardians es un falso Vengador

It almost seems too coincidence that a film about a team formed by the mythical characters of the world's largest fairy tales (such as Santa Claus, Easter rabbit, teeth fairy, etc..) That their strength unite to stop an evil entity has been released the same year as the Avengers.

It is difficult not to see the conception of Rise of the Guardians as more than a timely blow of effect, and the sensation is present throughout the film, liking the same type of energy or style by which the Avengers would be praised.

8 Envejecido bien: La trilogía de "Cómo entrenar a tu dragón" es consistentemente buena

This refers mainly to the first film, but it is difficult to speak and praise how to train your dragon without talking about the trilogy as a whole.Because what happens with sequels is that they can make or undo the original film.

5 películas de DreamWorks que han envejecido bien (y 5 que han envejecido mal)

Fans should not worry about the aftermath of how to train your dragon, since each one entertains in their own way.These last films only help reinforce what works in the first.

7 No envejeció bien: El bebé jefe es una broma de una sola nota que se prolonga en el tiempo

The Boss Baby is, in essence, a film about a baby acting as an adult and wears adult clothes.It is not the most complex of the arguments, but it is a simple premise for a simple children's film.For many people, there may even be some humor in that premise.But that simple premise has been quickly distorting with each continuation.

To date, the baby boss has had a sequel, a derived television series, a Netflix special, a short film and a third planned film.Any fun that could be found in the original movie has vanished as soon as the joke is lengthened more than necessary with sequels that no one asked.

6 Envejecido bien: Shrek ha envejecido como un buen vino

Shrek was always destined to age well over time.The beauty of his humor is that he is directed equally to children and adults.Humor is naturally fun for children, but the most adult internal jokes age better once that same generation of children grows to understand the jokes that passed over their heads.

That same generation of children grew up to make shorts of the Shrek character that only helped extend the relevance of both the character and his film.

5 No han envejecido bien: La última mitad de la franquicia Shrek es más débil

Here are two for the price of one: Shrek third and Shrek always.It was then that it was clear that Shrek and his friends had exceeded their reception ability.The first Shrek was like catching a ray in a bottle, while the sequel managed to overcome expectations.

However, the third and fourth film failed to recover the magic of any of them.These last sequelae are too reluctant on the references of pop culture of the time, which still makes them worse when they see them again.

4 Envejeció bien: Shrek 2 puede ser mejor que Shrek

Like any sequel, Shrek 2 was a bet, at least in terms of quality.Between expectations and success based on the first film, this sequel could have easily been a failure.Fortunately, thanks to its intelligent and ingenious script, it manages to live up to the point that some fans prefer it.

Unlike later aftermath, Shrek 2 does not resort to references to pop culture and, when he does, they are not made to swallow the public.

3 No envejeció bien: Sinbad casi mata a DreamWorks

Sinbad: The Seven Seas League is easily the greatest failure in the history of Dreamworks.What says a lot for a movie with such a star cast and a budget of 60 million dollars.Even with that budget, the film was about to take the study to bankruptcy, with losses of 125 million dollars, according to Times.

The little response and reception is the reason why the study stopped doing traditional animation for 15 years.One would expect the film to resurface years later as a forgotten jewel, but no, the film is still quite bad in modern eyes.

2 Envejeció bien: La película de las abejas es recordada por las razones equivocadas (pero de alguna manera entretiene)

This is not in any way a support for Bee Movie to be a good movie, but it covers how bad Bee Movie is.Enter fully into the category of "It's so bad that it's good".The type of film that is so out of place that at least is a fun time to see with a group of friends.

Like the way to El Dorado, Bee Movie is perfect for the Internet era, hence it has been frequently subject to mockery and meme culture in recent years.His strange plot and sense of humor have found a new life as practically a cult classic in the same line as the room or troll 2.

1 No ha envejecido bien: Shark Tale es tan mala como cuando se estrenó

Shark Tale is the very definition of a lazy film.Instead of encouraging original characters designs, the animators molded the similarities of dubbing actors such as fish creatures.Instead of trying to write jokes, the filmmakers took the easiest way by inserting as many references to pop culture as possible.The result is that all jokes are not convincing and are outdated to modern ears, as if the jokes were funny in 2004.

Natural.Without a pinch of charm, like the aforementioned Bee Movie, Shark Tale is simply strange and bad.It may be the worst film never released by Dreamworks.
