Key Data Use of Proceeds Competitors. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock by the selling stockholders. Because of the importance of the domestic theatrical market in determining revenue from other sources, our primary competition comes from both animated and live-action films that are targeted at similar audiences and released into the domestic theatrical market at the same time as our films.

At this level, in addition to competing for box office receipts, we compete with other film studios over optimal release dates and the number of motion picture screens on which our movies are exhibited. In addition, we compete with other films released into the international theatrical market and the worldwide home video and television markets. We also face intense competition from other animation studios for the services of talented writers, directors, producers, animators and other employees.

Competition for Film Audiences. Our feature films compete with both live-action and animated films for motion picture screens, particularly during national and school holidays when demand is at its peak.

Due to the competitive environment, the opening weekend for a film is extremely important in establishing momentum for its domestic box office performance. Because we expect to release only two films per year, the scheduling of optimal release dates is critical to our success. One of the most important factors we consider when determining the release date for any particular film is the expected release date of competing films.

Disney, Pixar, and Blue Sky Studios are the other CG animation studios that we believe target similar audiences and currently have comparable CG animated filmmaking capabilities, and each of them has released animated films produced solely with CG technology. Pixar has announced that it intends to release The Incredibles on November 5 of this year and Cars in late Blue Sky Studios is a smaller animation studio and production company that has produced only one CG animated feature film, Ice Age, which was released in March , and is currently producing Robots, which has an announced release date of March In addition to producing Dinosaur in , Disney has announced that it plans to release the CG animated feature film, Chicken Little, in In addition to these animated film studios, other smaller animated film studios and production companies currently exist, such as DNA Productions, which in released the CG animated feature film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius in conjunction with Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures.

In addition to CG animated films, a number of hand-drawn animated films are released each year.

Currently, we compete with other animated film and visual effect studios for artists, animators, directors and producers. In addition, we compete for the services of computer programmers and other technical production staff with other CG animation studios and production companies and, increasingly, with video game producers.

In order to recruit and retain the most talented creative and technical personnel possible, we have established relationships with the top animation schools and industry trade groups. We have also established well organized and thorough in-house digital training and artistic development training programs. Through these programs, we were able to re-train approximately talented two-dimensional animators to become highly proficient three-dimensional CG animators. In addition to existing CG animation studios, a number of film and visual effect studios, including Sony Entertainment and Lucasfilm Ltd.

While we and most of the other existing CG animation studios and production companies have developed proprietary software to create CG animated films, other film studios would not be required to do so, as technological advances have made it possible to purchase third-party software that is capable of producing high-quality CG images. However, we believe that our experience in the CG animation field, along with the technology and talent that we have developed, provide us with significant competitive advantages over new entrants.

Company Description DreamWorks Animation is principally devoted to developing and producing computer generated, or CG, animated feature films. With world-class creative talent, a strong and experienced management team and advanced CG filmmaking technology and techniques, we make high quality CG animated films meant.

Based on our knowledge of the industry and the announced release schedules of our competitors, we believe we currently have more CG animated feature films in development and production than any other animation studio. We employ a core staff of artists, technology personnel and production staff who have been creating, developing and applying CG techniques for over 20 years.

We have theatrically released a total of nine animated feature films, four of which have been CG-only, and one direct-to-video title. Our five non-CG animated feature films, The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, Chicken Run, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and Sinbad: The average domestic box office performance of our CG animated films has been significantly higher than that of our hand-drawn, two dimensional feature films. We do not have any hand-drawn, two dimensional films currently in production and do not intend to produce any such films.

We believe our experience, creative talent, scale of operations, technology and animation proficiency enable us to release two high quality CG animated feature films per year. We released both Shrek 2 and Shark Tale in , and we are scheduled to release our next CG animated feature film, Madagascar, into the domestic theatrical market in the spring of We are in various stages of pre-production and production on five additional feature films that we expect to release through In addition, we have a substantial number of projects in creative and story development that are expected to fill the release schedule in and beyond.

Our feature films are the source of substantially all of our revenue. We derive revenue from the worldwide exploitation of our feature films in theaters and in markets such as home video, pay and free broadcast television and ancillary markets.
