The one thing that every great animated film you’ve ever seen probably has in common is a spellbinding story. That and a villain. In the middle of the story that Lincoln Wallen tells about the history of his company, DreamWorks, the villain that pops up is none other than the computer.

That doesn’t necessarily mean there hasn’t been a happy ending however. Ultimately, the DreamWorks story shows that “the villain becomes the saviour for the artist, and gives the artist the ability to create”. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
