Frequently asked questions

Do Pixar films count as Disney films?

Yes. Pixar has belonged to Disney since 2006, and all its films were distributed by Disney, even before the takeover. They are therefore sorted on the Disney side.

When did DreamWorks start making animated films?

DreamWorks was founded in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, a former Disney executive, and David Geffen. Its first animated feature came out in 1998. The studio then made its name with several hugely successful franchises.

Do all famous animated films come from one of these two studios?

No. Anastasia (Fox), Despicable Me (Illumination) and Ice Age (Blue Sky) have nothing to do with Disney or DreamWorks. This quiz only includes films from these two studios, so there is no trick on that front.

Why are Disney and DreamWorks rivals?

Jeffrey Katzenberg, co-founder of DreamWorks, ran Disney's film studios before being pushed out in 1994. His rivalry with the House of Mouse fuelled a real race between the two studios, which more than once released films on very similar subjects in the same year.
