There so many speculation that Katzenberg will sell his company. But after all, those speculation proven wrong, in my opinion.
Maybe, lots of people thinks that Katzenberg gonna sell his company because "Turbo" and "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" lack of box office income. Yeah, all of this just some speculations. But i believe Jeffrey won't sell it just because of money.

In my side, i wanna DWA still become an independent company. That makes them awesome, while Pixar and Disney owned by Walt Disney Studio/Company(?).

conclusion, i don't believe that news :)

I would say it is DEFINITELY a possibility, since it was posted in several newspapers about 9 hours ago.

LA Times http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/en ... story.html

Hollywood Reporter http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/s ... lks-736164

Even IMDb http://www.imdb.com/news/ni57796879/?ref_=hm_nw_tp_t5

Hmm, on the one hand, on the one hand, my regard for Katzenberg is roughly equal to my regard for tapeworms. On the other hand, the article suggests that he would likely be staying on as CEO for the foreseeable future in the event of a sale, thus removing the only obvious potential benefit from my perspective. Therefore, I'm going to go with my inner pessimist, and say that it would only make things worse, and thus it's better to stick with the system that's at least producing some good films, even if the average quality could be a lot higher.

Well, they should stick with the current system until HTTYD 3 comes out, and the franchise (hopefully) concludes. After that, they can turn Dreamworks into a CGI hentai studio for all I care.

As long as we have HTTYD 3 as good as possible then after that there can be the death of Dreamworks? Is there anything after that coming out that's promising? (not sure how much I'm looking forward to this 'home' movie to tell you the truth; there's practically nothing going on)

Yep. As long as they hopefully conclude the franchise with HTTYD 3, I don't care what happens afterwards.
