"Founders and co-chief executive officers Eric Ellenbogen and John Engelman -- seasoned executives with over 20 years of industry experience and a proven track record of success in managing high-quality content -- have built an amazing team at Classic Media and are a welcome addition to the DreamWorks Animation family." "No company knows the family entertainment business better than DreamWorks Animation and we are excited to join their family in a natural extension of our long-standing relationship that began years ago on 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman,'" said Ellenbogen. "Classic Media brings to the table extensive rights to some of the most beloved family entertainment brands in the world. Our combination with DreamWorks Animation will expand the opportunities for us and for our content and distribution partners around the globe."
