I can't choose! Both have produced such classic movies in history. Though, I do think that Disney produces more movies that just make us fall in love.

Diseny. Disney. Disney
Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment, we introduced ourselves?

This is a really hard one to choose. I really like both Disney and DreamWorks. I love their films.

I agree, both produce really good movies.

I would say that I think I love them both. It's hard for me to decide what's best with things like this sometimes, but if I had to pick, I'd go for the latter

I prefer Disney for its extensive repertoire. Dreamworks has done some good work too, but it doesn't have the strength to occupy mindspace like Disney does by virtue of its strong body of work.

Neither. Pixar is the G.O.A.T. I love the animation in Pixar movies. Although, I do watch DreamWorks and Disney movies for the story than for animation.

I think they can both hold their own, but in the past few years I would dare to say that Dreamworks has more original stories than remakes compared to Disney. It feels like Disney is spinning the same stories over and over with their live action remakes.

Both companies have their good movies, but I feel like Dreamworks doesn't let catering to audiences deter them from their work versus trying to please everyone compared to Disney.
Shrek, How to Train your Dragon, The Wild Robot, Orion in the Dark, Megamind, The Road to El Dorago - some of my favorites
