My personal gripe with non-Pixar CG films with animals is that the animals usually look or behave way too human, which makes them disturbing or ugly. Slap a baby's face on a dog and you have a nightmare.
Compare Nemo and Oscar:

and Flik and Z:
Anthropomorphic animals that are cartoony and don't really look like humans are definitely better, IMO.

When I first saw Shark Tale's Oscar, I said, "OMG!  It looks like Will Smith!"  I had no idea Will Smith was doing Oscar's voice at the time.

DreamWorks seems to enjoy puttng the voice actor's caricature into the characters they voice. The donkey from Shrek is supposed to bear resemblance of Eddie Murphy. The bee from Bee Movie is supposed to look like Jerry Seinfeld.

This is one of the reasons I dislike DreamWorks.

The only movie of theirs that made me laugh out loud was Shrek.

DreamWorks doesn't seem to understand the significance of eyes. Or that when all your jokes are cultural references, you have to keep coming out with sequels to keep it current. Or that Mystery Science Theater showed that it's very possible to have cultural references and still be relevant twenty years later, if you do them right. Or that Pixar showed that movies can appeal greatly to kids and adults without having to go to either stereotypical extreme. Or that maybe they're just plain not that great at making movies.

One of those is probably the root problem.

Actually, dislike is probably too strong of a word for my opinion. In all honesty, I just favor Pixar over DreamWorks.

DreamWorks HAS made good 3D films though, I did enjoy the first two Shrek films (the third one was okay, I guess), and Over the Hedge, and I think I will enjoy Kung Fu Panda.

I didn't like Shark Tale, and Madagascar was....eh.

If they had named the character Jerry instead of something that rhymed with it, it would make sense that he looked like his voice actor. Remember Bee Larry King?

The only person I've ever thought looked good in a bee suit was Mario (or perhaps Luigi--anything was better than those "nerdy blue and green duds").

Yeah... who was it that was going off on how there were several similarities between SMG and recent, popular CG movies, again?

I HATE Cars. I've seen it like 10 times because of my school wasting time. It's getting annoying. Nobody likes it anymore.

Did anyone like it in the first place? I sure didn't.
