DreamWorks Animation, privately owned and headquartered on a 13-acre campus in Glendale, California, functions as a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, a division of Comcast's NBCUniversal. Founded in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen as the animation department of DreamWorks SKG, and employing approximately 2000 individuals, the studio specializes in animation and post-production, focusing on the production of computer-generated animated feature films, television programming, and virtual shorts. The entity was spun off as an independent public corporation in 2004 before its acquisition by NBCUniversal in 2016 for approximately $3.8 billion. Over its history, the studio has generated more than $17 billion in global box office revenue and established several media franchises, including Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, Trolls, and The Boss Baby.
DreamWorks Animation established a global collaboration with Jollibee for the worldwide theatrical release of "Forgotten Island" on September 23, 2026. The animated feature, set in the Philippines and celebrating loyalty and friendship, centers on best friends Jo and Raissa who discover a mysterious portal to Nakali, an island of mythical creatures inspired by Filipino stories. This partnership includes Jollibee meal bundles, with the film premiering in North America in September. Previously on September 9, BIC® announced its official partnership with DreamWorks Animation and We Are Teachers for "Forgotten Island," launching the BIC® 4-Color™ Pen Pals program to share the film's themes of friendship, connection, and Filipino culture with U.S. and Filipino students; the film notably features BIC's 4-Color™ Pen. Also on September 9, DreamWorks Animation partnered with the Association of Children's Museums for the second annual "Gabby's Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days" at institutions like the Boston Children's Museum, scheduled for September 18-20. These collaborations illustrate a broader trend of entertainment fandom expanding beyond the screen into themed food, merchandise, and transformed venues.
