Dreamworks has done extremely well for itself in its initial publication, 812million is an astronomical amount of capital especially during its debut. Dreamworks can thank the success of Pixar for paving the way. Pixar IPO was around $22 a share when the company debut in Nov.of 95' It seems as though Dreamworks has a bright future up ahead, Pixar's stock currently sits around $80 dollars a share.

Hmmm..... one has to think with the success of both Dreamworks and Pixar what the future of Cg entails for us aspiring artists.
