DreamWorks Animation Characters

"There was this wonderful great mission statement that Walt Disney had: 'I make movies for children, and the child that exists in all of us'. And 14 years later at DreamWorks I can say 'We make movies for adults, and the adult that exists in every child'. And that literally has been our approach."

—Jeffrey Katzenberg, in a 2007 interview promoting Bee Movie

These characters originated from the pop-culture heavy, but wacky and grounded theatricals of DWA.
