Spielberg, Katzenberg, Geffen. Cuando uno observa detenidamente el logo de la compañía Dreamworks puede observar como las iniciales SKG forman parte de él. Tres apellidos provenientes de diferentes ámbitos del espectáculo (cine, animación y música) que fueron responsables del nacimiento en el año 1994 de un nuevo estudio cinematográfico, Dreamworks, llamado a hacer sombra a las grandes compañías que lideraban el cine norteamericano desde años atrás. En 1997, Dreamworks estrenó su primera película, El Pacificador, un thriller de acción protagonizado por George Clooney y Nicole Kidman y apenas un año después, su primer título animado, Hormigaz. El cine animación fue una de las grandes apuestas creativas de la nueva compañía (por empeño y cierto ánimo revanchista por parte de Jeffrey Katzenberg) y pronto se convirtió en uno de los valores diferenciales del estudio, capaz de establecerse como una fuerte competidora de Disney o Pixar. Títulos como "El príncipe de Egipto", "Shrek" o "Chiken Run" hicieron temblar el casi monopolio animado de la casa que vio nacer a Mickey Mouse. A día de hoy, Dreamworks Animation es una garantía de entretenimiento animado tras una carrera que aunque llena de altibajos ha gozado de éxitos suficientes ("Shrek" y sus secuelas, "Madagascar", "Como entrenar a tu dragón", "Kung Fu Panda") como para labrarse un nombre dentro del género de animación. En este episodio 17 de Sonora Podcast repasamos la carrera de Dreamworks Animation, a través de sus películas destacadas y por supuesto, desde su música, tanto instrumental como cantada, lo que nos permitirá disfrutar de los trabajos de gente como Hans Zimmer, John Powell, Sheryl Crow, Pete Yorn, Fatboy Slim, Alan Silvestri o Eels, entre otros.
