On CAPS, 95% of the 1,025 members who have rated DreamWorks believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star TMFBreakerTAllan, who is ranked in the top 2% of our community, and JustHanginOut.

Less than two months ago, TMFBreakerTAllan wrote that DreamWorks "produces quality movies year in and year out." Our CAPS All-Star continues: "With the passing of Shrek, [DreamWorks] will continue to produce good movies. And [DreamWorks] makes money from both the movie itself (box and DVD and TV) but from licensing of its characters."

Despite disappointing box office numbers coming out of Shrek Forever After, the fourth and final chapter of the wildly popular Shrek franchise, many Fools continue to be bullish on DreamWorks' future. While the number of animated films produced by rivals like Pixar and Sony Pictures Animation is growing rapidly, our community believes DreamWorks' current roster of still-popular franchises, coupled with its goal to make five movies every two years (with at least one sequel each year), should keep shareholders happy over the long run. CAPS member JustHanginOut helps illustrate the bull case:

Regardless of Shrek's box office numbers, DreamWorks is much stronger today than it was a year ago. They have committed to releasing 2-3 pictures a year and are in the perfect position to cash in on the 3-D revolution both in theaters as well as at home. How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda will be the two main franchises for DreamWorks going forward, not too shabby. Also, can you say possible buyout?
