We can watch many animated movies on Disney+ with classic princesses or Pixar feature films… But there are also other successful cartoon movies that we can watch in streaming, and this is the case of Dreamworks movies available online to enjoy with the family. From classics like Chicken Run or Shrek to more recent films like Trolls or Turbo.
One of the main advantages of Dreamworks movies is that we can watch them on many different platforms. We can watch the films on Amazon Prime Video, on Netflix, on HBO Max or on Movistar+ and all of them stand out for their adventures and fun characters, for humor for all audiences and for the whole family.
Chicken Run – Farm Escape
In the year 2000, now more than twenty years ago, the movie “Chicken Run” was released. The creators of Wallace and Gromit were responsible for this blockbuster in which chickens have been locked up on a farm. If they do not meet a minimum productivity, the hens will be mistreated or killed. Until Ginger decides to end this loop: you have to get out of there to put an end to the mistreatment of the farming couple. We must put an end to this concentration camp for animals.

Shrek is one of the great classics of animation, an essential film for all audiences and that breaks with all the topics of the stories.
