5 DreamWorks cartoon franchises that never lose their value over the years

5 DreamWorks Animation Franchises That Will Never Lose Value Over Time

DreamWorks is currently working on a fifth installment of the "Shrek" franchise. While there are mixed reviews among fans, the film is expected to be a big hit. Here are five of the studio's most popular animated franchises that have remained relevant over the years.

**Mustang (2002)**

The animated film about "Mustang" was created before DreamWorks switched to full 3D animation. Therefore, its animation style is significantly different from the studio's later films.

Another unique feature of the cartoon is that, unlike many animal films, the horses in it do not talk. Despite this, "Mustang" has retained its popularity to this day. The music composed by composer Hans Zimmer made the picture even more impressive.

**"The Prince of Egypt" (1998)**

Despite some shortcomings compared to modern projects, "The Prince of Egypt" is considered one of the best projects in the history of DreamWorks. It is a biblical story that is presented in a way that is attractive even for viewers who are not interested in religious topics.

An interesting plot, high-quality animation, voice acting by famous actors and well-developed characters have made this cartoon a favorite for both adults and children.

**"Madagascar" (2005)**

Although the franchise has been less heard of in recent years, "Madagascar" has maintained its popularity for a long time through several sequels and spin-offs.

The first film introduced many characters that the audience fell in love with. The fact that the main characters were voiced by famous representatives of the comedy world contributed greatly to the success of the franchise. Therefore, many of its jokes will definitely be remembered for a long time.

**"Kung Fu Panda" (2008)**

This franchise clearly demonstrated DreamWorks' creative approach. The studio combined the theme of martial arts with the story of a lonely hero searching for his path.

Three more sequels to "Kung Fu Panda" were released later. In each film, Po, a kung fu master panda, fights a new villain, and the process helps him understand himself, his purpose and his place in life.

While the first part remains a fan favorite, the subsequent films have also been well received by audiences.

**"How to Train Your Dragon" (2010)**

Unlike "Shrek", all three main films in the "How to Train Your Dragon" franchise have been highly praised by critics and audiences.

A remake of the first part was also released this year, and its sequel is in production. The main reason for this is that the original story continues to attract new fans even after years and amazes audiences with its stunning visual world.
