DreamWorks Unveils New Logo Sequence With Shrek, Boss Baby and How to Train You

blog

DreamWorks Animation is updating its opening logo sequence to include some familiar faces.

In the new sequence, the iconic DreamWorks child fishing on the moon leaves its post to travel across the galaxy, passing along characters from mainstay franchises such as “The Bad Guys,” “How to Train Your Dragon,” “Boss Baby,” “Kung Fu Panda,” “Shrek” and more. The trip is capped off with appearances from Shrek, Fiona and Donkey before the child returns to the moon, assuming the classic logo imagery that DreamWorks is known for.

The new sequence will first play ahead of DreamWorks’ upcoming release, “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” when it hits theaters on Dec. 21.
