While we love a good live-action movie, well-made animation is always a treat! Disney is quite famous for their animated films, but there are more studios out there that we love. For example, DreamWorks Animation gave us movies like Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda. If you're pumped about wearing some DreamWorks costumes for Halloween, we have several that you should check out here!
1. Shrek Costumes
| Plus Size Shrek Costume | Adult Fiona Costume | Kids' Puss in Boots | Child Lord Farquaad |
| Plus Size Fairy Godmother | Kids' Donkey Costume | Gingerbread Man Costume | Toddler Three Blind Mice |
The fifth feature film by DreamWorks Animation was Shrek in 2001, and it put DreamWorks on the map as a major film competitor of Pixar and Disney. Characters like Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and Puss in Boots are instantly recognizable, which is critical for great movie character costumes! Their interactions are some of the best in modern cartoons. You can make it a couple's costume with pairs like Shrek and Fiona or Shrek and Donkey, or go all out with a Shrek group costume!
2. Kung Fu Panda Costumes
| Adult Po | Child Po Costume | Toddler Po |
Shop all Kung Fu Panda Costumes
Jack Black fans, get ready for one of our favorite character costumes—Po from Kung Fu Panda! (Don't worry—there is no charge for awesomeness.) These Po costumes come in sizes all the way from adult to child, so anyone can be their favorite kung fu master. You don't even need to learn kung fu to be this awesome! Although, belting out a few of your favorite movie quotes wouldn't hurt.
3. How to Train Your Dragon Costumes
| Adult Hiccup Costume | Adult Astrid Costume | Adult Toothless Costume | Adult Light Fury Costume |
| Kids' Hiccup Costume | Child Astrid Costume | Kids' Toothless Costume | Child Light Fury Costume |

We couldn't get enough How to Train Your Dragon after one movie, and we're so glad that they made more! Be your favorite dragon riders of Berk with these How to Train Your Dragon costumes. Astrid and Hiccup are couples' costume goals, but we also love the idea of Toothless and the Light Fury. You can even turn this DreamWorks costume idea into a family costume that's sure to be kid-approved.
4. Trolls Costumes
| Adult Poppy | Child Branch | World Tour Barb | Adult Guy Diamond |
If you have kids, Trolls costumes might be what they want to wear for Halloween! We love the antics of Poppy, Branch, and all their friends. (Not to mention the tunes!) Whether you have one little Poppy to take trick-or-treating or a full set of Trolls characters, these DreamWorks costume ideas won't let you down.
5. Captain Underpants Costumes
| Adult Inflatable Captain Underpants | Kids' Captain Underpants | Adult Captain Underpants |

Transform into a superhero like no other with these Captain Underpants costumes! They come in adult and child sizes, and even an inflatable costume that captures Captain Underpant's cartoonish shape. You'll be plenty warm and snug in these character costumes. (As opposed to the potential DIY route here!)
