Dreamworks Animation Studio

As good as it gets.

Luckily I have made cool friends in Los Angeles that work in places like Dreamworks.
He told me we could totally get the tour and so happily I obliged. What an awesome studio… Really great cafeteria with free food (who said Google just does it… And guess what, they aren’t overworked here), ping pong tables, yoga, and awesome things to see on the tour. Including a secret drinking room… You can drink right from the tap.
Bought a Gumby shirt to show my support for the studio…
I feel so Hollywood… Unfortunately I can’t return the favor. My tour wouldn’t be that great… And we don’t have a gift shop.

I was clueless as to what to expect upon arrival at this campus/​studio and it was very fun to simply walk around and explore both the inside and outside! Very rarely would you find a plain wall with nothing decorated on it.
Each floor has something that made it very interesting and my favorite was going to one of the upper floors where they had many, many decorations of the older films on display such as a Spirit (the horse) statue, concept arts from the Shrek movies, and so much more! Each step I took took me into another portion of this nostalgic world filled with everything I adored in all the Dreamworks films I have watched from childhood into my present adulthood. The creativity and skill that shine the walls of the building truly highlights the success of this studio.
As I had to pry myself from the interior portion of the building (with great difficulty), I stumbled upon the outdoors section that contained ponds, fountains, and lots of green grass. Although I do not consider myself as an outdoors-​ey kind of person, the beauty of this scenery captivated my attention and so I spent quite a while sitting down to admire the view.
As the day ended, I was able to meet some staff members and was pleased that every single person I met was very outgoing and friendly towards me despite my status of being an outsider to this magical place.

Beautiful campus with Italian style architecture. I’ve visited the campus a few times over the years. Its adjacent to a creek and across the street from the Disney creative campus. There office really stands out from the other commercial buildings on the same street.

One of the most beautiful studios I have visited in Burbank. There are lush gardens surrounding the property, fountains and koi everywhere.
There are olive trees at the opening of the studio and lots of places to relax and reflect. The staff is one of the most passionate I have ever met & are truly committed to creating the best films they can.
Ps. Don’t leave here without eating. Just like the Disney lot — they have the most incredible food, so come hungry!

Clean, well maintained and friendly studio. Who wouldnt want to go to work here!

I would love to work here. I was in town and had the chance to visit a friend that works here. The grounds have a small creek flowing through with water falls and small ponds. During lunch there was a yoga class going on and you couldn’t help but relax in this setting. They provide lunch free to all of their employees and there are a ton of items to choose from.

Super nice place! Ummm can I just live here? I’d even settle for just working here to get to spend a large part of my day here! ;) All of the nature and water elements add such a peaceful and quiet element to the place. It’s an amazingly beautiful campus! You would never know that you were still in the city.
The employees are treated very well here (Drinks, snacks, breakfast and lunch provided? Yes, please? Among many other perks, but being a foodie, obviously I tuned out at the mention of food! lol!) Everyone that we came into contact with were beyond friendly and were always asking us if we needed anything at all or had any questions.
So many great things to say about this place, but I think my pics will do a better job of showing you just how nice of a place this is, and if you ever get the chance to visit, please do! It is awesome!

Woohoo! As good as it gets
