CXC 2023: A History of Dreamworks Animation
Thursday September 28th 4pm-5pm
Wexner Center for the Arts
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the history of animation at NBCUniversal—including the DreamWorks catalogue—from archivist Chase Schulte.
DreamWorks Animation has produced some of the most memorable and beloved animated films of the past 25 years. From Antz and The Prince of Egypt (both 1998) to the Academy Award–winning Shrek (2001) to recent hits such as Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022), the studio continues to release animation hits that please critics and audiences of all ages.
In this presentation, Chase Schulte, Ohio State alum and manager of Physical Archive Operations at NBCUniversal—which acquired DreamWorks Animation in 2016—discusses the history of the studio and some of its most popular films, as well as some examples of past animated films released by Universal. A Q&A session follows the talk. (60 mins.)

It’s no secret that Pogo is one of Jeff’s favorite comics of all time. So imagine his surprise and delight at being invited to receive a ‘star’ on the Pogofest Walk of Fame in 1997. Pogofest is an (almost) annual festival dedicated to celebrating all things ‘Pogo’ and Walt Kelly located in the swamps of Waycross, Georgia!

September 11, 2001, Jeff and Vijaya had just arrived in Norway for a comics festival in Bergen. Illustrating the experience of what it was like to be far from home that day, these original art pieces were donated to the “9-11: Emergency Relief” graphic novel which was a fundraiser for the American Red Cross.

In 2008, The Wexner Center for the Arts (located at The Ohio State University), hosted the: Jeff Smith Bone and Beyond gallery exhibit, which featured Jeff’s original art from Bone, Rasl and his Shazam miniseries. Also on display were original pages from some of Jeff’s heroes such as E.C. Segar’s Popeye, Carl Barks’ Uncle Scrooge, Charles Schulz’s Peanuts and more. Perhaps the most jaw-dropping part of the exhibit was the floor-to-ceiling panel installation taken from a scene in the Bone series.

Jeff gave his first New York Times book review for FUNNY THINGS: A Comic Strip Biography of Charles M. Schulz, written by Luca Debus and Francesco Matteuzzi. Illustrated by Luca Debus. A long time fan and later friend to Sparky, this was an important task for Jeff, and one he was proud to give his seal of approval on. Check it out!
