DreamWorks Animation, privately owned and headquartered on a 13-acre campus in Glendale, California, functions as a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, a division of Comcast's NBCUniversal. Founded in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen as the animation department of DreamWorks SKG, and employing approximately 2000 individuals, the studio specializes in animation and post-production, focusing on the production of computer-generated animated feature films, television programming, and virtual shorts. The entity was spun off as an independent public corporation in 2004 before its acquisition by NBCUniversal in 2016 for approximately $3.8 billion. Over its history, the studio has generated more than $17 billion in global box office revenue and established several media franchises, including Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, Trolls, and The Boss Baby.
