'''DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.''' ({{nyse|DWA}}) is an independent [[United States|American]] [[animation studio]] which primarily produce a series of critically and commercially successful [[computer animation|computer animated films]], including ''[[Shrek (film series)|Shrek]]'', ''[[Shark Tale]]'', ''[[Madagascar (2005 film)|Madagascar]]'', ''[[Over the Hedge (film)|Over the Hedge]]'', ''[[Bee Movie]]'' and ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]''. It was formed by the merger of the feature animation division of [[DreamWorks SKG]] and [[Pacific Data Images]] (PDI). Originally formed under the banner of [[DreamWorks|DreamWorks SKG]], it was spun-off into a separate public company in 2004. |
|||
This song is thought to have originated on Royal Navy ships.{{Fact|date=October 2007}} From there, it spread to countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and the United States. Various versions of the song have been recorded since the 1950s.{{Fact|date=October 2007}} The [[Clancy Brothers]]' version of the song is available on the album ''Irish Pub Songs'',<ref>[http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:jvfuxq9kldhe allmusic ((( Irish Pub Songs [Vanguard] > Overview )))<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and the [[Brobdingnagian Bards]] recorded a version of the song for their album [[The Holy Grail of Irish Drinking Songs]]. |
|||
There is a rendition of the song in the 2004 [[PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox]], and PC game [[The Bard's Tale (2004)]]. It is sung by three [[Drunk|inebriated]] regulars at the pub in the first area visited. |
|||
They are currently distributed only through [[Paramount Pictures]] (in turn owned by [[Viacom]]) who acquired the rest of DreamWorks SKG in February 2006. DreamWorks Animation maintains two studios: the original DreamWorks feature animation studio in [[Glendale, California]] and the PDI studio in [[Redwood City, California]]. |
|||
The Missoula Montana defunct ska/oi! band The Skoidats recorded a version of the song in 1997 on their record The Times. |
|||
==History== |
|||
===Early years=== |
|||
In 1980, Pacific Data Images was founded by Carl Rosendahl with a small loan from his father. In 1982, he was joined by Richard Chuang and Glenn Entis, who wrote the foundation of the in-house computer animation software that was to be used for the next two decades. During the 1980s, PDI created many animated logos and commercials for television for companies like [[NBC]] and [[Sky Movies]]. They shifted into motion picture visual effects beginning in 1991 with a contribution to ''[[Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''. |
|||
Lyrics below are from the Clancy Brothers recording: |
|||
In 1997, DreamWorks SKG was formed and founded by a trio of entertainment players, director and producer [[Steven Spielberg]], music executive [[David Geffen]], and former [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] executive [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]]. DreamWorks signed a co-production deal with PDI to form subsidiary PDI, LLC (PDI owned 60% of PDI, LLC while DreamWorks SKG owned 40%). The new unit would produce computer-generated feature films beginning with ''[[Antz]]'' in 1998. In the same year DreamWorks SKG produced ''[[The Prince of Egypt]]'' using traditional animation techniques. |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
In 2000, DreamWorks SKG created a new business division, '''DreamWorks Animation''', that would regularly produce both types of animated feature films. |
|||
Beer, beer, beer, tiddly beer, beer, beer<br /> |
|||
A long time ago, way back in history<br /> |
|||
The traditionally animated feature films were produced by the division's Southern California branch. DreamWorks SKG acquired majority interest (90%) in PDI, reforming it into PDI/DreamWorks, the Northern California branch of its new business division. |
|||
When all there was to drink was nothing but cups of tea<br /> |
|||
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mopps<br /> |
|||
The business division separated from its parent in 2004, forming DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. and purchasing the remaining interest in PDI as well as its subsidiary PDI, LLC. |
|||
And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of [[hops]]<br /> |
|||
:''(Chorus)''<br /> |
|||
===2004–present=== |
|||
:He must have been an admiral, a sultan, or a king<br /> |
|||
Since its official launch in 2004, the studio is dedicated solely to producing CG animated films in-house and has committed itself to make two computer-animated feature films a year. No more traditional 2D animation is expected. |
|||
:And to his praises we shall always sing<br /> |
|||
:Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer<br /> |
|||
DreamWorks Animation also had a partnership with [[Aardman Animations]], a [[stop-motion]] animation company in Bristol, England. This partnership had DreamWorks participating in the production of stop-motion films in Bristol, and also had Aardman participating in some of the CG films made in the US. This partnership ended after the release of ''[[Flushed Away]]'' in November 2006; the announcement was made before the film's release, on [[October 3]], citing "creative differences" as the reason. <ref>[http://www.animationmagazine.net/article.php?article_id=5971 Splitsville for DreamWorks and Aardman? | Animation Magazine<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |
|||
:Lord bless Charlie Mopps,<br /> |
|||
:The man who invented beer beer beer, tiddley beer beer beer...<br /> |
|||
The logo, adapted from the parent studio's logo, consists of a boy fishing on the moon, against a backdrop of the daytime sky albeit with more colorful lettering. The soundtrack of this logo was originally an adaptation of the DreamWorks theme; however, following the global success of ''[[Shrek]]'' in 2001, this became an shortened adaptation of [[True Love's First Kiss]] (the Love Theme from the Shrek soundtrack), composed by [[John Powell]]. |
|||
The Jury's Bar, the Clancy's Pub, the Hole in the Wall as well<br /> |
|||
One thing you can be sure of, it's Charlie's beer they sell<br /> |
|||
Employees at Dreamworks get to enjoy breakfast and lunch for free, a perk not found at many other companies. |
|||
So come on all ye lucky lads at eleven O'clock ye stop<br /> |
|||
For five short seconds, remember Charlie Mopps<br /> |
|||
==Partnerships== |
|||
One, two, three, four, five<br /> |
|||
Dreamworks Animation has an on-going partnership with HP, and the studio exclusively uses HP workstations and servers. In 2005, AMD signed a 3 year deal to provide processors to the studio. This relationship ended in 2008, and Dreamworks announced that they will use Intel processors for future productions. <ref>[http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-intel9-2008jul09,0,7674482.story Intel replaces AMD as DreamWorks Animation supplier - Los Angeles Times<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

Revision as of 01:43, 12 October 2008
Charlie Mopps or Charlie Mops is the mythical inventor of beer, as described by the drinking song "Beer, Beer, Beer". His name is presumably meant to rhyme with barley and hops, two main ingredients in beer.
History
This song is thought to have originated on Royal Navy ships.[citation needed] From there, it spread to countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and the United States. Various versions of the song have been recorded since the 1950s.[citation needed] The Clancy Brothers' version of the song is available on the album Irish Pub Songs,[1] and the Brobdingnagian Bards recorded a version of the song for their album The Holy Grail of Irish Drinking Songs.
There is a rendition of the song in the 2004 PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC game The Bard's Tale (2004). It is sung by three inebriated regulars at the pub in the first area visited.
The Missoula Montana defunct ska/oi! band The Skoidats recorded a version of the song in 1997 on their record The Times.
Lyrics below are from the Clancy Brothers recording:
Beer, beer, beer, tiddly beer, beer, beer
A long time ago, way back in history
When all there was to drink was nothing but cups of tea
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mopps
And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops
- (Chorus)
- He must have been an admiral, a sultan, or a king
- And to his praises we shall always sing
- Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
- Lord bless Charlie Mopps,
- The man who invented beer beer beer, tiddley beer beer beer...
The Jury's Bar, the Clancy's Pub, the Hole in the Wall as well
One thing you can be sure of, it's Charlie's beer they sell
So come on all ye lucky lads at eleven O'clock ye stop
For five short seconds, remember Charlie Mopps
One, two, three, four, five
- Chorus
A bushel of malt, A barrel of hops, you stir it around with a stick,
The kind of lubrication to make your engine tick.
Forty pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks.
It's only eight pence ha'penny and one and six in tax
One, two, three, four, five
- Chorus
