DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (DWA)

Dreamworks is garbage. That is really the bottom line.

Shrek was a one hit wonder and they've been beating that dead horse for the last several quarters. They are not the best thing after Pixar, they are a Pixar wannabe. Look at the quality of their animation... Their CGI is archaic and cheap looking. They are attempting to widen their target audience, and missing on both marks, by attempting to entertaining to children, as well as adults.

Their movie lineup is basically an advertisement of impending bankruptcy. It's all about the brand these days... They are an imitator, and aside from Shrek, they have no brand at all.

Their movies keep getting crappier and crappier, and eventually they'll be a discount company, as their stock falls, and if there is anything redeeming at all about them, they will be begging for an acquisition.

Look for this stock to be high teens, at best, going forward.

Stay away from this one. Take the time to see their upcoming lineup for yourself, and ask yourself "Is this worth the ticket price when it hits theaters?"

Sorry Dreamworks, but you're the dollar store of animation, and people are not going to pay full ticket price for a bargain basement movie assembled on the cutting room floor.

Sure, these fools managed to squeeze out a profit, like other users have pointed out, by essentially spending a fraction of what a good studio like Pixar does, to finish a film. They make less money, but they spend the bare minimum to complete a film. This may have worked for them so far, due to some smart timing of their releases, but going forward, this game will get stale. They are gaining their well-deserved reputation as "cheap, and fast", and people expect more these days.
