I just recently watched Turbo and I really enjoyed it, even if it was your standard Dreamworks underdog movie.
I have to say my favorite Dreamworks movie would probably be the first Kung Fu Panda though.
What's yours?

I love The Prince of Egypt, How to train your dragon, Rise of the guardians, Shrek 2 and Megamind!  There are other Dreamworks movies I watch a lot too, but those listed above are my favourites. |

Kung fu panda 2 is my favorite, I also really love The Croods, (but it has yet to stand the test of time)

I would say between the Croods and the Kung Fu Panda movies. Pretty close tie there.

I like most of the animated Dreamworks movies, but what I don't like is Bee Movie, Flushed Away! and the sequels of Madagascar.

Well, all together, my favorite dreamworks movie was Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. But if we are strictly talking about animation, then I would say How to Train your Dragon.

Definitely Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. When I was a kid I LOVED Spirit, I watched it all the time, had a collection of toys and plushes (and even an M&M container) from the movie, and I even had a Spirit birthday party. I also had the big Spirit plush, but when I was 16 I gave it away...I kind of regret it, because while it admittedly took up a lot of space, it has a sentimental value since as a little thing I took that thing everywhere...Oh, well. I went through a phase as a teenager (lol technically I'm still a teenager, I just feel so on the boundary right now being 19.5 years old) where I just dumped all of my old stuffed animals without a backward glance, and in hindsight I realize some are collectibles and it might've been cool to keep them. Hence the reason I don't ever plan on giving away all my MI/MU merch.
After Spirit, I would say How to Train Your Dragon. It's a great movie.

Lol this thread is my thing.
My favourite Dreamworks movie of all time are the Shrek movies as I've been a fan since I was thirteen and fell in love with my ogre hero and over the year had thevDVDs, books, comics and shirts including ones I made myself.
When I was fifteen I bought a huge Shrek plush while at Universal and he has been my sleeping buddy ever since I brought him home and still do, he keeps Pitch away
My other favourite movie is How To Traih Your Dragon as I love dragons and love Toothless plus I love the show Riders and Defenders of Berk.
I also love Rise of the Guardians and Bunnymund and Tooth plus I'm reading the Guardians of Childhood books by William Joyce which the movie is based on

Shrek was really amazing. (I used to have the soundtracks for Shrek and Shrek 2 but I lost the CDs. Shame.) I think my current favorite is Kung Fu Panda though. Part of that is because I missed it in theatres, so I saw it for the first time with my husband. He rented it for me even though he's not usually a big fan of animation and we both really enjoyed it.
Po is so sweet and earnest, and I absolutely adored his adopted goose father. The Furious Five didn't all get enough focus in the first movie, but luckily they've gotten some spotlight since. The conflict between Tai Lung and Shifu, and the way that affected how Shifu raised Tigress and trained Po was so sad, but very well done.
It is rare to see a animated movie that gives a villain a detailed past and motivation beyond "he's evil" but at the same time, it was clear that Tai Lung was dangerous. I liked that Shifu recognized he had made mistakes in raising Tai Lung, though in the end, Tai Lung was responsible for his own actions.

Kung Fu Panda 2 for sure in computer animation. It used to be Megamind but really overall KFP2 is just better overall.I find how they do antagonists to be interesting for one in that franchise. They're ultimately awful in their actions but still feel very real too. They make their own choices certainly.
For more traditional animation I'd actually say the Prince of Egypt. I'm an atheist myself but that movie is honestly gorgeous and heart breaking. The writing is also superb. They added a lot by exploring a potential brotherly relationship between Moses and the Pharoah. Honestly a lot of biblical films forget that the characters should feel real and not utterly flat and dimensionless. We should believe and understand their doubts and fears, not think them silly for it or suffer from hammy acting either. Prince of Egypt does it wonderfully.

Nothing else even starts to compare to Prince of Egypt.
After that, my favorite is probably Turbo.

I love the Kung Fu Panda movies (second one was my favorite.) I have to admit I'm famous for judging a movie before I actually see it, based on its previews.  And I also admit I've been wrong about a lot of them! I thought KFP looked stupid, from its trailer, but I loved it. I also thoroughly enjoyed Megamind (again, thought it was gonna be so stupid.) One of the older ones I always like is The Prince of Egypt. |
