Dreamworks Animation has had sysadmin in the credits in at least some form as long as I've been here -- so at least since Shrek 2. The problem is that it's so far down in the credits most people don't see them. For the last few films we are couple of groups after the HP and Intel (formerly AMD) logos. We even get credit in the TV specials, but only on the DVD version. If I remember correctly, when we released Shrek the Halls the network gave us 14 seconds of credits. On the DVD they are quite a bit longer than that! :-) -- Dan Rich <dr...@employees.org> | http://www.employees.org/~drich/ | "Step up to red alert!"
