Jabs at Dreamworks in Atlantis?

[hedgehogcs]

Okay, maybe I've just been reading the Dreamworks vs Disney threads on this board too much...or maybe I've heard too much about the Disney jabs in Shrek...

But there are a couple of references to potty humor in Atlantis with sarcastic comments after them like "ha, ha...we're all very amused" and "who wrote this?" that made me wonder if these were not slight pokes at Dreamworks and the opinion that Shrek contained too much of that type of humor. Especially when you consider that both of these were comments over the PA system in the ship...which easily could have been added late in the film's development.

Before either school rushes to judgment, I am not ascribing any positive or negative spin to this...I just found it an interesting thought and wondering if anyone else had this same idea?

(Incidentally, since I didn't make this clear, we loved Atlantis!!)

Given how well these comments fit into the rest of the script, I'm inclined to believe that they were part of the original script - which means that Shrek would have had very little bearing on them.
