According to the Los Angeles Times, the new facility has an on-site doctor's office and nutritionist, cafe, and heated outdoor spaces. There's also a "giant" topiary of the DreamWorks logo, like the one at the studio's Glendale headquarters.
PDI, which served as 'home base' for animation on Madagascar 3, currently employs 526 of DreamWorks' 2,191 employees, and is expected to add another 200 over the next three years.
In related news, the Times reported late last week that DreamWorks "has decided not to distribute its own films after its longtime deal with Paramount Pictures expires this fall, and it may strike a new pact with Sony Pictures".

Hm, set up a distribution deal with Sony Pictures… sounds like the most interesting aspect but leaves Paramount with no animation arm but Sony with two. Guess Paramount will be shopping around for a new studio to distribute for.
I wonder what a possible DreamWorks Animation/Sony Pictures deal would mean for Sony Pictures Animation.
Nini, paramount already have plans to set up their own Animation studio anyway
