DreamWorks Pictures, also known as DreamWorks SKG, or simply DreamWorks, is an American film production label of Amblin Partners. It was also a former film distributor for its own and third-party films. It has produced or distributed more than ten films with box-office grosses of more than $100 million each. Currently, DreamWorks' films are marketed and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures under its Touchstone Pictures banner, with their contract set to expire in 2016.
DreamWorks began in 1994 as an attempt by media moguls Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen (together, SKG) to create a new Hollywood studio of which they owned 72%. Currently, DreamWorks operates out of offices at Universal Studios. In December 2005, the founders agreed to sell the studio to Viacom, parent of Paramount Pictures. The sale was completed in February 2006. In 2008, DreamWorks announced its intention to end its partnership with Paramount and signed a $1.5 billion deal to produce films with India's Reliance ADA Group. Reliance provided $325M of equity to fund recreating DreamWorks SKG into DreamWorks Studios, an independent entity. Clark Hallren, former Managing Director of the Entertainment Industries group of J.P. Morgan Securities and Alan J. Levine of J.P. Morgan Entertainment Advisors led the Reliance team in restructuring the company.

Newsies - Sante Fe
//Jack singing through entire song//
So that's what they call a family
Mother, daughter, father, son...
Guess that everything you heard about is true
So you aint got any family...
Well who said you needed one?
Aint ya glad nobodies waitin up for you?
When I dream, on my own, I'm alone but I aint lonely...
For a dreamer night's the only time of day...
When the citie's finally sleepin
And my thoughts begin to stray
And I'm on the train that's bound for Sante Fe..
And I'm free, like the wind, like I'm gunna live forever
It's a feelin time can never take away...
Alls I need's a few more dollars
And I'm outta here to stay...
Dreams come true, yes they do,
In Sante Fe....
Where does it say ya gotta live and die here?!
Where does it say a guy can't catch a break?!
Why should you always take what you're given?!
Why should you spend your whole life livin trapped where there aint no future?
Even at Seventeen?
Breakin your back for someone elses sake?
If the life don't seem to suite ya, how bout a change of scene?
Far from the lousy headlines and the deadlines in between?
**Music interlude**
Sante Fe?
Are you there?
Do you swear you won't forget me?
If I found you would you let me come and stay?
I aint gettin any younger, and before my dieing day...
I want space, not just air
Let them laugh in my face I don't care
Save a place, I'll be there...
So that's what they call a family...
Aint you glad you ain't that way?
Ain't you glad you got a dream called Sante Fe?
