GLENDALE, Calif., Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Nasdaq: DWA) in conjunction with leading smartphone games publisher PikPok®, today announced the release of DreamWorks Dash n Drop for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android, based on the CG animated film Rise of the Guardians, which arrives in theaters on November 21.

DreamWorks Dash n Drop is a legendary sleigh riding game based on DreamWorks Animation's Rise of the Guardians. When there's trouble at the North Pole and gifts get scattered everywhere, it's time to embark on an epic adventure! Players will gather and deliver gifts to children everywhere as they dash through the evening sky in the Guardians' magical sleigh. Along the way, they'll collect elves, coins, power-ups and upgrades as they travel around the world, all while avoiding Pitch's army of Nightmare enemies.

"We are thrilled to add this fun and addictive pick-up-and-play game based on Rise of the Guardians to our ever expanding app portfolio" said Chris Hewish, Head of Global Interactive for DreamWorks Animation. "The film-inspired gameplay is easy to jump into but has layers of challenge, making it perfect for kids and parents alike."

"Collaborating with DreamWorks on this game has been an absolute joy" said Mario Wynands, Managing Director of PikPok. "Dash n Drop brings to life all the fun and magic that DreamWorks has created in the Rise of Guardians film right onto your mobile device."
