DreamWorks Animation (often referred only as DreamWorks and formerly DreamWorks Animation SKG) is an American animation studio company based on Glendale, California. It was formerly a division of DreamWorks Pictures before it became an independent company in 2004 and since 2016, it is a subsidiary of NBCUniversal (Comcast) through its Film & Entertainment unit.

Although DreamWorks Animation was an independent studio from 2004 until 2016, it didn't always release its titles on its own. It once had a distribution deal with Paramount Pictures (2006ā€“2012), as a result of Viacom's acquisition of the original DreamWorks, and then 20th Century Fox (2013ā€“2017). As a result of the studio's acquisition by Comcast, Universal Pictures (since 2018) holds the distribution rights to all DWA titles.

In 2014, DreamWorks debuted a new alternate logo used only on their website as part of the studio's then-20th anniversary brand campaign among other purposes. The moon boy inside the D may be a nod the 1997 DreamWorks Pictures logo.

Until 2018, the name "SKG" was removed, after it was acquired by Comcast's NBCUniversal and the release of Bilby (2018).
