The following is a list of unmade and unreleased animated projects by DreamWorks Animation. Some of these films or shows were, or still are, in development limbo. These also include the co-productions the studio collaborated with in the past (i.e. DreamWorks Animation Television, Oriental DreamWorks, Aardman Animations, Columbus 81 Productions, Bullwinkle Studios, World Events Productions, Double Dare You Productions, Scholastic Corporation, Harvey Entertainment, and Amblin Entertainment), as well as sequels to their franchises.

In the 2010s, several films were announced to be made that were to be released in the next 3–4 years following their announcements. Some of these films were eventually cancelled while others are claimed to be in development and waiting for a release. Most of these films were cancelled due to massive layoffs, creative differences, management changes, no updates on the features, and Comcast eventually buying DreamWorks in 2016.^{[citation needed]}
