King Julien and Puss in Boots are both interesting shows in that they start out with really slow first seasons and then pick up steam in their own unique directions.
Julien for the most part stays an episodic comedy, but the showrunner is the guy who brought us Mystery Incorporated so he keeps a tight continuity that often pays off in unexpected ways, and even gets to do a huge 13 part dramatic story arc (All Hail King Julien: Exiled) that goes off the walls in very Mystery Inc ways.
Puss in Boots just evolves into an serialized action comedy and lives there.
No.950952
Dragons is a weird one. It has a big overarching story and full of two parters and season ending cliffhangers, but it's story progresses so SLOW.
I think it's strangled a bit by the fact that it's set in between HTTYD1 and 2 so it can't actually do anything too interesting lest it break with canon.
In fact, most of the major plot developments are just introducing something that will show up in 2.
It gets very dragon of the week and it is also technically a continuation of the previous HTTYD show that aired on Cartoon Network, so you could get lost when those original characters just start casually showing up.

Croods was always just kind of meh to me.
A lot of the humor is just the same kind of "It's a modern concept, but in caveman times" this was well worn by the Flintstones.
It kind of feels like it starts finding a direction and starts getting better for it, but the point that starts happening is the very last season.
Home definitely has the better slice of life feel to it.
No.950971

That's a shame, once story mode starts partway into the second season, it really does start to feel like a much better show.
You can't even really say just skip the first season because all that monster of the week nonsense forms the backbones of everything that's important to what comes after.
In fact, they infuriatingly do it again and the most recent season is a return to monster of the week plots that seem to go nowhere but slowly build up to a big reveal.
It's not their strongest hand to play, but I'm still looking forward to the next season because it will be the last one and have to answer all the plot threads.

Could be good, you know they'd eventually introduce the He-Man cast anyway, much like Superman eventually made it into Supergirl in Season 2, or how Darkwing Duck is scheduled to be thrown into DuckTales.
Trolls is fulls of hip lolis so I think I would enjoy that. Shows can start out goofy and then get dramatic and serious, look what happened to Tangled recently… I cried man. THE FALL.

I was surprised about that. But guess I should have seen it coming.
Comparing to the season 4 this one was quite episodic. The plot itself was pretty much what was excepted. Well except for the fact that evil Puss wasn't mentioned. And the very last scene of the finale. They sort of left the story line open ended. But since Dulcinea is against the Shrek canon, I doubt that they are ever going to continue the story. But who knows. I'd watch it.
To be honest this show has been a lifeline for me. I've got really addicted to it. But mostly in the good way. Since 2015 I've been in the army, broken with my girlfriend, got sick, and lost various relatives. But when I've been going through hard times, there was always a place, where things were well - San Lorenzo. And for the years, when everything else failed, waiting for the new episodes was my reason to wake up in the morning. But now the show has ended, and I feel just as empty as did Puss after leaving the San Lorenzo for the last time. The life must go on. But a part of me is missing. I know it sounds crazy. Heck, I'm in my twenties and I never watch cartoons - except this one. For some reason I really enjoyed this show.

I mean, that could work, but combined with Drago’s “I guess I need to find a Bewilderbeast on my own” comment, I think you’re supposed to interpret it as the beast in the movie.
I think it’s just one of those prequel things where they feel the need to give an unsatisfactory explanation for things in the movie that didn’t really need to be explained.

March seems to be lining up to be one of those content heavy months DWA does from time to time, where something new is announced every friday;
Voltron s5 will be March 2
Trolls s2 will be March 9
Spirit s4 will be March 16
And I can only imagine something else is going to show up for the rest of the month, but as established, Dreamworks is really bad at promoting their shows a whole lot sooner than exactly one month prior.

Yeah, we'll have to see.
It's been dabbling a bit more and more in doing arcs, but it's been light, this is the first season finale cliffhanger in 65 episodes, it'll be interesting if they can resolve it right away or if it becomes a longer arc.
Thoughout the season each of them used superchargers to augment their bodies and power themselves up, so I can imagine if they just find some more superchargers they can all use their power armor to save the day.

Made some research in google trends. Apparently Puss in Boots, Croods and Veggietales were all a little bit less popular than AHKJ and Spirit. Turbo Fast, Trollhunters, Dragons and Dinotrux were all about 5 times as popular as AHKJ. The most popular of them all is Voltron - over twenty times as popular as AHKJ. Peabody & Sherman and Home rarely had any results.

In current Netflix news,
Season 5 of Spirit will be out this Friday, which I can only imagine resolves the Lucky runs away cliffhanger in a nice tidy manner and then continues as it was
Part 3 of Trollhunters will be out on the 25th, which both has to have a new voice actor for the main character and will be the series finale paving way for the second show in the trilogy to come out this fall.

Trollhunters, Voltron, Dragons and Dinotrux all have a strong merchandising program, while Turbo had the novelty of being the first streaming DWATV show. AHKJ was the second, or maybe the first based on a more popular DreamWorks brand.

Time will tell, but so far that's not been DWA's style.
You get a guaranteed order for 52-78 episodes and then that's it.
