Fans of international blockbusters Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon can be immersed in the magical world of animation as two decades of DreamWorks Animation’s greatest works come to life at ArtScience Museum for the first time in Asia.

From 13 June, DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition, curated by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in collaboration with DreamWorks Animation, will feature 31 films and more than 400 displays, allowing visitors to experience how these animation works make the leap from initial sketches to their big-screen debuts.

As the first stop of its five-year international tour, DreamWorks Animation: The Exhibition will feature exclusive concept drawings and behind-the-scenes footage of the creative process and remarkable character sculptures. Film enthusiasts will also be amazed by captivating storyboards, reconstructions of DreamWorks’ real-life workspaces and specially commissioned interactive environments.

Visitors can step into three main galleries: Character, Story and World, to witness what it takes to create and bring to life such enchanting stories. This 20-year retrospective is a comprehensive look at the entire back catalogue of 31 DreamWorks Animation feature films, from the studio’s first theatrically released film Antz (1998) to recent releases, How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) and Home (2015).
