Dreamworks characters no longer exclusive to Universal

Looks like Spielberg has been on a tear at the NBC Universal offices.

Universal Studios and DreamWorks co-founder Steven Spielberg have released Shrek and other DreamWorks Animation properties from their exclusivity to Universal theme parks, according to Daily Variety. Revealed in SEC papers filed Wednesday by DreamWorks Animation, the move gives the toon studio the option to send its toon characters to other amusement companies.

I wonder if the troubles Universal is having with getting the Simpsons characters lined up for BTTF's replacement have anything to do with this.

The last line of the article is the most interesting one. I would love to see what other types of attractions Dreamworks had up its sleeve. And I'm also curious as to who is going to start getting these "other properties".
