Something that I personally feel works in Oddworld Inhabitants favor is that Oddworld is not gimicky and full of pop-culture references / music, relying moreso on its originality and storyline to get by, where as Dreamworks films (not so much Pixar) is. From a viewers perspective, this makes the movie so much more appealing to me. I guess, it could also be argued that these gimicks and pop-culture references are what's drawing audiences to these movies in the first place, however I hope that's not the case.
Another worthy mention in the Oddworld versus Dreamworks discussion is that I've found Oddworld's CGI to already have outdone that of Dreamworks. The animation and character design in most Dreamworks films really is nothing special at all, particularly that seen in 'A Sharks Tale'; an awful movie I wouldn't reccomend anyone seeing, by the way.
