Dreamworks animated films now available on iTunes

by Mike Schramm Sep 1st 2011 at 8:15PM

After quite a wait, Dreamworks Animation has finally relented to allowing its movies on iTunes, which means the company's catalog is more or less up for grabs. Kung Fu Panda is one title customers have been waiting for, and Monsters vs. Aliens, Bee Movie, and Madagascar 2 are available as well. Shrek the Third is the only movie of that series available at the moment, unfortunately, and there's no sign of Megamind or How to Train Your Dragon, so the catalog isn't complete by any means.

Still, progress is progress, and this deal means you and your kids have a few more options when you jump into iTunes to find a movie to watch. Whatever issues there were between Dreamworks and Apple have apparently been worked out, to some degree at least.

I bought Kung Fu Panda in november of 2008... i feel like something's wrong here...

were all of the movies taken down for some strange reason?

i bought kung fu panda as soon as it was released, (im assuming a few years ago...)

was there a period of time when the movies got removed?

The issue might have been between Dreamworks and Pixar, now part of Disney. Remember that Pixar/Disney and Apple share a certain board member.

Seems like media companies are reluctantly letting Apple sell their content... but Netflix is getting more and more shafted. I think they hope everyone will forget that streaming exists once they take away the content.

They've been available in the US for months as well. This is news?

Maybe these were not available in the US but these movies have been available for some time in the UK iTunes store. I have bought Kung Fu Panda, Megamind and Shrek the Third.

I just double checked, I purchased Megamind on iTunes in June. When did it get removed?
