OGDEN, Utah (Feb. 28, 2011) — The hit animated feature Megamind from DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Nasdaq: DWA) is now available on Blu-ray and DVD (Feb. 25, 2011). To celebrate this release, five brand-new Megamind artwork images have joined six previous releases in the DreamWorks Animation Fine Art portfolio.

Each of the new Megamind pieces from Sanders Art Studio, the sole authorized global publisher of DreamWorks Animation Fine Art, are limited to only 50 pieces worldwide and feature a suggested retail price of $250. The collection of eleven exquisitely reproduced images represent key moments and characters from the film including Metro Man, Minion and Megamind himself.

“These fine art releases from Megamind represent DreamWorks Animation at its finest. With these five new additions, fans have a wider selection of imagery to choose from in bringing a bit of the fun, color and beauty of the film right into their homes,” said KC Sanders, owner of Sanders Art Studio.

The six new Megamind pieces in the DreamWorks Animation Fine Art portfoliofeature the three stars of the animated comedy: Megamind, the most brilliant super-villain the world has ever known … and the least successful; Metro Man, the do-gooding caped superhero who’s Megamind’s arch-nemesis; and Minion, the ape-suited fish who’s Megamind’s closest (and only) friend.

“Animation enthusiasts, film fans and movie art collectors alike will all find something appealing in these new releases,” Sanders said. “The animators at
DreamWorks created a film that was cited by critics as ‘mind-boggling fun’ (Boston Herald) and ‘beautifully animated’ (Washington Post), the perfect description of what great pop art should be — beautiful and fun.”

All of the new art pieces from Megamind are available as hand-numbered, limited-edition fine art giclée prints (Dimensions: 32″ x13.6″). They are meticulously printed on acid free, museum quality paper and are delivered with a certificate of authenticity. As with all pieces in the DreamWorks Animation Fine Art portfolio, Megamind fine art is available at Sanders Art Studio and online at: www.dreamworksanimationfineart.com.

DreamWorks Animation Fine Art produces hand-crafted, limited-edition artwork from unforgettable DreamWorks Animation films, including unique, artistic interpretations of the Shrek movies, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, How to Train Your Dragon, Monsters vs. Aliens and Bee Movie.
