In the DreamWorks Internship Program, interns work in an engaging and exciting

environment alongside creative leaders and artists who are committed to building an

inclusive and collaborative culture. Interns are immersed into TV and Feature animated

productions while gaining hands-on experience at our studio. Open to students and

recent grads, we love those who are driven and hungry to learn, are curious and

resourceful, and most importantly, are passionate about animation.

The Internship Program also showcases best-in-class opportunities by offering executive
