There’s actually a very interesting history on why Disney and Dreamworks were releasing the same movies at the same time lol https://twitter.com/kristosaplsauce/status/1249496288619638785

Bugs Life vs Antz
Emperor’s New Groove & Atlantis vs Road to El Dorado
The Wild vs Madagascar
Ratatouille vs Flushed Away
Finding Nemo vs Shark Tale

The tea:

They didn’t give Jeffrey Katzenberg the promotion he wanted at Disney in the late 90s, so he left and started Dreamworks with Spielberg and another man.

He already knew what the upcoming Disney projects were so he tried to beat them to the punch.

I’m trying to find the video I learned this on.

But for now here’s a documentary on what “emperors new groove” was originally supposed to be and how it ended up being what it was.
