DreamWorksTV Features Your Favorite Characters As Vloggers

DreamWorksTV is available today, combining DreamWorks Animation's expertise as a global family entertainment brand with the digital savvy of AwesomenessTV. Dreamworks acquired them over a year ago and they have been growing ever since.

Shrek, Puss in Boots and the Kung Fu Panda join YouTube's roster of vloggers with today's launch of DreamWorksTV. DreamWorksTV will showcase original live-action and animated short-form content, featuring fresh new voices and iconic characters.

Series highlights include family-friendly versions of reality TV (Prank My Parents, Record Setter Kids), original animated web series from top creators (Jimmy Blue Shorts, Gorillaville and Report Card) as well as vlog posts from DreamWorks' stable of fan favorite characters.

The ambitious effort will be overseen by AwesomenessTV founder Brian Robbins with a team assembled for DreamWorksTV.

"We're tapping into the invaluable knowledge that Brian has amassed from his success with AwesomenessTV to create a unique, short-form, laugh-out-loud mobile experience for families," said DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg. "This is a huge opportunity for the DreamWorks brand."

Among the series that will be featured on DreamWorksTV are:
