World of DreamWorks Animation (formerly DreamWorks Animation Video Jukebox) is a special feature that appeared on DreamWorks Animation DVDs and Blu-rays from 2007 to 2017. It was originally first known as DreamWorks Animation Video Jukebox, in which it featured music video clips from certain DWA films. In 2011, it was rebranded as World of DreamWorks Animation and included trailers for certain DWA brands such as an upcoming theatrical release, home video release, television show, broadway musical, and online virtual world in addition to music video clips, though some versions only had music video clips only similar to the DWA Video Jukebox. In 2015, it was slightly retitled to The World of DreamWorks Animation.
This is the first version of the DWA Video Jukebox to have a variant background related to the Blu-ray/DVD it appears on as well as having the "DreamWorks" and "DreamWorks & Aardman" bylines on top of the movie logos.
Starting with this version, the name of the movie and its song are displayed in the beginning, though the Over the Hedge music video is incorrectly named as "Rockin' the Suburbs (Over the Hedge version)" instead of "Heist" in this version and the rest after that.
This is the final version of the DWA Video Jukebox to include Shrek 2, Shark Tale and Shrek the Third.
The order played between the Shrek the Third and Bee Movie music videos is fixed on this version as it played in the wrong opposite order on the previous two versions.
This is the final version of the DWA Video Jukebox to include Flushed Away.
Starting with this version and the rest after that, the order is played from the right side as opposed to the previous versions which played from the left side.
The music videos now end with a Blu-Ray and DVD (or only DVD) advertisement screen of the title(s) and/or its sequels and other non-film releases.
This is the first version to not include a new film in the jukebox.
The icon for Shrek is replaced with the one that was used for Shrek the Third in the previous versions.
This is the first version of the DWA Video Jukebox to have animation and music playing in the background in the selection screen.
There is also now one icon appearing on screen in the selection menu as you have to select the next and previous icons to change the icon showing on screen as opposed to the previous versions where you could see the other icons on-screen.
This is the first version of World of DWA to have the DWA 2004-2009 logo background as well as square icons for the DWA franchises/films and also the final version to have Megamind Score background music overall as the rest of the versions would have none.
This is the only variant of The World of DWA to not be featured on a US release.
This is the first version of The World of DWA with square icons to have it's own variant background and have background music overall as the rest of the versions would have none and the theme used is from the film's score.
The How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda advertisement screens at the end of the music videos are updated to include DVD releases of the respective franchises' TV series after the one showing the movies.

This is the final version of The World of DWA to be included on a title distributed by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment as well as the special feature overall as it would not be used anymore when DVD distribution moved to Universal Pictures Home Entertainment following NBCUniversal's acquistion of DreamWorks Animation in 2016 and the expiration of DreamWorks Animation's five-year film deal with 20th Century Fox.
