As an aside, did you know that Nimona was 70% completed when Disney bought Fox and closed down Blue Sky Studios (most known for Ice Age). Annapurna pictures then decided to open their own animation department and hired some former Blue Sky execs to run it. They brought Nimona with them, finished it, and then used Netflix to distribute.

That's great that some people from Blue Sky are still in the industry. I had a friend who was a full time animator there and essentially gave it up when he was let go because Disney shut down Blue Sky studios. He's back to being an accountant and is making decent money, but it's still sad to see a guy so passionate about his hobby doing something he hates.

There's like 2 teams at Dreamworks, one that makes considerate films and another that just shovels them out.

I mean no matter how well regarded you are as a studio, you'll always have some crap movies. It's just timing if releasing said crap movies that are going to hurt the studio or not. Dreamworks can survive if this movie bombs, but I'm not sure the state of Pixar considering Lightyear bombed hard.
