The Dream Team: The Rise and Fall of DreamWorks: Lessons from the New Hollywood

In The Dream Team, Daniel Kimmel tells the behind-the-scenes story of DreamWorks' rise-and the end of the dream eleven years later, when most of the company was sold off or shut down. Its plan for 1,087 acres of studio facilities that would include residences and retail operations came to naught. Its animation division was split off and went public. Its principals had already begun to go their own ways. Mr. Kimmel explores DreamWorks' successes: best-picture Oscars for American Beauty and Gladiator; a near miss (but box office success) for Saving Private Ryan; a smash animated hit Shrek winning the first Oscar ever for best animated feature and pointing the industry toward computer animation.Kimmel, Daniel M. is the author of 'The Dream Team: The Rise and Fall of DreamWorks: Lessons from the New Hollywood', published 2007 under ISBN 9781566637527 and ISBN 156663752X.
