The exhibition presents many original drawings and digital paintings from films showcasing the studio's creative verve, including Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, Madagascar and Trolls.
The team of the Art Ludique Museum, in collaboration with DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures International France, are pleased to present the world premiere of the exhibition "25 years of DreamWorks Animation" in Paris from 14th October - 18th November 2020.
The prestigious DreamWorks Animation studio, founded by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, opened its doors to the Art Ludique team, allowing them to collaborate with the studio's artists and select the most impressive works representing their creative vision.
Over 200 exhibits, original drawings and digital paintings from the studio's iconic films, such as Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, Madagascar and Trolls will be on display, together with exclusive interviews with the artists that helped create them.
Those visiting the exhibition will discover the 'impertinent' spirit that characterises some of the studio's masterpieces, as well the specificities that define the personality of the studio.
With its many cosmopolitan artists, DreamWorks has produced a number of films that could be seen as representing a sort of 'animation world tour' (The Prince of Egypt, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, Abominable, etc).
It's also an animation studio whose artistic style is without limit, with no common recipe or formula. DreamWorks doesn't adhere to a 'predefined style' for its movies, preferring to use any possible approach as long as it serves the story and narration.
This is how the studio has been able to reinterpret ancient tales and legends with a poetic sensibility and sense of humour, while also creating new, modern-day fairy tales.
