The rumors are true: Comcast subsidiary NBCUniversal announced it has snapped up DreamWorks Animation in a $3.8 billion deal. It'll give Comcast access to successful animation properties like Shrek, Kung-Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon, which should complement the NBCUniversal franchises Despicable Me and Minions. And, in a strange twist, the acquisition will also reunite DreamWork's Animation with its live action sibling, which was rebranded as Amblin Partners last year and already has a distribution deal with Universal.
