Here’s how I see it: Pixar should handle story, animation and jokes. Dreamworks should handle voice talents, characters and action sequences. Together, they’d be the dream team! 
Or not.
But I’m open to the suggestion. Nothing is impossible.
I think that could work pretty nicely, Incredibles is the master but Dreamworks is pretty good when it comes to action sequences.
And Dreamworks models the characters after the voices, while Pixar does it vice versa.
In my opinion the Dreamworks’ approach on voices seems more ‘natural’ in the final product. 
As much as I don’t doubt their ability to whip up something awesome in a collaboration, I think both studios should just keep going their own ways. Viva la difference, diversity is what I want in a cultural industry, rather than more of the same.
I don’t want them to collaborate. I don’t know why, the notion just makes me slightly uncomfortable. And I like some DW movies. Just not this idea.
PixWorks? Not an intuitive pairing, but why not? It would be interesting to see creative folks from both organizations working together out of their comfort zones. Collaboration is great as long as there’s a clear plan and mutual buy-in from the get-go about one key point: at the end of the day, there can be only one boss of the project. As long as all involved were on board for that, the results would likely be favorable.
I know that what I’m about to say is the unpopular opnion, but I would like to see how a Pixar/Dreamworks collaboration would work out. We really don’t know if it’s going to be a disaster or not since it hasn’t happened before. Personally I think that it might be a mega-blockbuster with some pretty high scores on critics’ boards.
It would be interesting to see Pixar and DreamWorks co-sponsor a “cultural exchange” program and produce two shorts, one at each studio, with the prevailing ethos at each determining the outcome.
One area in which such a PixWorks arrangement might be mutually beneficial is the whole hardware/software underpinning and the skills needed to manage it. Assuming Pixar is in the Mac/Linux environment and DreamWorks is PC/HP, it could be that cross-training would increase employees’ exposure to technical capabilities enjoyed by one camp more than the other. Not sure what those differences might be, though.
Into the area of content, Pixar folks might enjoy letting their inner renegades free beyond Brain Trust oversight, and DreamWorks folks might enjoy having the time to work work work story until it’s perfect.
Done right, such a collaboration could be win-win, zero downside. And maybe some fans would enjoy the results, too. But the best part might be that such collaboration would be in keeping with Termite Terrace’s avoidance of “The Concrete NO” as memorably described by Chuck Jones in CHUCK AMUCK.
definitely NO, but actually Disney is working with Dreamworks SKG (live action films)
Paramount Pictures is the one that deals with DW Animation Studios
Woah, woah. Really? On what movie? 
Incredigirl: The Disney/DreamWorks thing is just a live-action film distribution deal. For example, the new film I Am Number Four is DreamWorks, distributed by Touchstone (which is under the Disney label)… There will be a set number of the live-action films being handled by Disney on the distribution end - essentially that’s it. Hope that makes sense…
Ah. So it’s a money deal, not production. Good.
this year they are teaming together to release:
I am Number 4
Fright Night
Real Steel
War Horse
Also, per WikiSourcia, Cowboys & Aliens, The Help, On the Road, The Ring 3D, and Robopocalypse are upcoming films as part of the 30-picture DreamWorks/Touchstone deal:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fi … e_Pictures
Still, Pixar is separate from Disney/Touchstone distribution, and DreamWorks Animation was spun off from DreamWorks several years ago. Distribution deals don’t necessarily spill over into the animation divisions of each respective corporate family, as pointed out earlier.
But stranger alliances have been formed. Many moons ago, there was an X-Men/Teen Titans team-up, jointly produced by Marvel and DC Comics. A Pixar/DW project could be equally interesting.
not sure about some of them, they are films that will be launched in the upcoming years, but Cowboys & Aliens will be released by Universal/Dreamworks like Gladiator
True in North America, but Touchstone will distribute Cowboys & Aliens internationally as part of the 30-picture deal, according to multiple sources besides WikiGrayMatteria.
Thinking about the Marvel/DC and Pixar/DW parallel brings up another point. Just as it was mostly Marvel folks who worked with the DC characters, it’s interesting to imagine Pixar folks working with DreamWorks characters–how about the Kung Fu Panda squad? On the other hand, it’s tough to envision DW folks working on any Pixar characters. Still, the best intersection would be the aforementioned “cross-cultural” program and/or co-development of brand new stories and characters.
NO WAY Pixar and Disney work with Dreamworks Animation
the deal with disney was only with Dreamworks skg live action films
Dreamworks Animation is a separate company that works on its own, nowadays they dont have nothing to do with the other Dreamworks (live action)
DW Animation will still work with Paramount Pictures
bryanbmp, you quoted my on-topic response–surely we’ve flogged the Touchstone/DreamWorks live-action deal enough and clarified that it’s a separate question. Yes, I would like to see Pixar and DreamWorks work together and have noted ways that could benefit both. It probably won’t happen any time soon…like as long as JK and JL are alive, ha! But back in the day, many comics fans couldn’t envision Marvel and DC working together, either…yet the result was positive when they did.
I got your point 
however DC/Marvel working together sounds much more exciting than seeing “when Wall-e meets Fiona”
Ha! Maybe “The Incredibles Enter A Time Warp and Meet the Furious Five” would be slightly less hyperbolic. Kind of like the awesome issue of Marvel Team-Up with Spider-Man and Red Sonja!

But coming back down to Earth, I’d bet good money that there is a lot of mutual admiration among Pixar staff and at least the KFP and HtTYD crews. Creative folks mutually appreciate good work regardless of corporate rivalry. That’s a solid foundation to build on if the executives were ever motivated to make a partnership work.
