A-Tier Universal 4K. DreamWorks animation at this resolution shows the hand-painted texture work more clearly. People have been waiting for 2 and 3 to follow, and KFP2 eventually dropped with little fanfare. Shows up on GRUV regularly.

A-Tier Universal 4K. Kung Fu Panda 2 snuck out on 4K with barely any marketing. People missed it entirely. The DreamWorks 4K transfers have been inconsistent compared to what Pixar gets, and expectations are tempered accordingly.

Universal A-Tier 4K. Turbine included this in their 3D Series Wave 6 alongside F9 and Despicable Me 4. DreamWorks animation benefits from HDR for the fur and background detail.
