The studio that began as a more adult alternative to Disney had basically turned into the biggest studio for "kids cartoons", even when those talking animal cartoons are really good ( Over The Hedge ) and/or make a lot of money ( Madagascar ). Fair or not, the reputation stuck. Fifteen years into its run, DreamWorks has achieved incredible box office success, with ten of its 27 animated features crossing $500 million worldwide and seven crossing $600m. But they have still lost the image battle with Disney. In the eyes of the critical and pundit community, Pixar makes animated films while DreamWorks makes cartoons.
