  • Subtitles section
  • This video is brought to you by Opera.
  • DreamWorks Animation is on a dark path, and it looks like things are about to get even worse.
  • From the beginning, DreamWorks was built to be a Disney competitor.
  • They accomplished that, and proved themselves to be a viable studio.
  • Over time, though, the quality of their movies were like waves in the ocean, some days soaring high, and others a puny low.
  • With no real consistency.
  • That's not the only bad part about DreamWorks.
  • We just found out some unfortunate behind the scenes details.
  • But before that, let's talk about today's sponsor, Opera.
  • The Opera desktop browser helps boost productivity and makes browsing easy.
  • It's built with a ton of surprisingly useful features.
  • Aria is a browser AI, which can answer any question you ask right from the sidebar.
  • Highlight some text, and Aria's got your back.
  • You can rely on it for questions or quick information whenever you need it.
  • Also, if your life is a mess like mine, you may have too many tabs open at once.
  • Opera solves this with tab islands, which groups familiar tabs together so it's not as overwhelming.
  • Ah, it soothes my soul.
  • Aside from the smooth, slick design of the browser, I also love that Opera comes pre built with the good stuff.
  • Like, they have an ad blocker that blocks ads and makes pages faster, along with a free VPN that makes sure your info is protected.
  • No extensions required.
  • You also have the ability to customize your sidebar.
  • Music, messaging, anything you want!
  • Now if customization's your thing, go ahead and change the wallpaper.
  • Oh my god, it can move.
  • Opera is an amazing way to surf the web, complete with convenience at every corner.
  • I highly recommend downloading Opera and giving it a go.
  • And of course, it's free to download, so check it out in the description below.
  • So, DreamWorks is in the middle of a transformation.
  • The casual viewer may not be able to figure it out, but this is still happening.
  • Layoffs.
  • Many, many layoffs.
  • According to an exclusive piece from Cartoon Brew, hundreds of people working at the studio are about to lose their jobs.
  • Industry veterans on Twitter recently came forward after hearing about these layoffs themselves.
  • What's going on?
  • Why is a decent chunk of the DreamWorks workforce being let go in favor of saving money?
  • Well, the studio's future doesn't need them.
  • Less of their movies will be fully animated in house, and instead that animation is being split up with other studios around the world.
  • However, the sheer number of people whose contracts aren't being renewed has demoralized staffers and left many wondering about the future direction of the studio.
  • While there are no specific numbers on how many people are being let go, the number is well into the hundreds.
  • Many departments are being cut in half, and the creative staff on features could be reduced by as much as, if not more than, forty to fifty percent.
  • As their production strategy changes, the size of their workforce adapts.
  • Combine that with the delicate state of the animation industry right now, plus the uncertainty of AI taking people's jobs, and we have a formula for pain.
  • It's hard enough now for people to keep their jobs at Dreamworks.
  • Imagine trying to get a new one there.
  • It's next to impossible.
  • Of course, the layoff news is even worse when we talk about the studio's reputation.
  • Puss in Boots The Last Wish was great, but then they followed it up with a bland and boring trope filled mess.
  • I can't even say the name Megamind II out loud without blech.
  • Maybe I need a catchphrase, something like, villains are red, heroes are blue, stop robbing that bank or feel my kung fu!
  • And my day is ruined.
  • Kung Fu Panda IV was an awful disappointment in the franchise that couldn't even justify its own existence.
  • We shouldn't settle for mediocrity.
  • We should admit these movies suck, and Dreamworks is still inconsistent.
  • Now when the overall team keeps shrinking, and less work happens in studio, you start worrying things are bad now.
  • But are they about to get worse?
  • I don't know.
  • I don't have the highest expectations.
  • Every day, it is so hard to be a fan of animation.
  • But anyway, that's all for this video!
  • Subscribe for more awesome cartoon videos, give a thumbs up, and comment below to let me know what you think!
  • Thanks for watching, and I'll see you guys... next time!
