You know that face. The clever, asymmetrical smirk. The similarly crooked eyebrows. The half-closed eyes. The intense stare-down that comes at you from the promo posters. It's the expression that tells you the hero is going to be up to no good, and is much cooler than any of those classic, mainstream, conformist wimps those other studios produce... except the character him- or -herself never, or rarely, makes that face to begin with in the show! It's usually a way to get audiences to see a particular film over another, and promises a very different tone from what we are used to. It's the facial expression form of hip, sassy and snarky dialogue. This trope pertains to faces seen outside of the body of the film or TV show and only in marketing material... in posters, billboards, ads, etc. Otherwise, it would be a No Fourth Wall or an Aside Glance. Films produce advertising and posters as various stages of production and all of these are meant to be teasers. The stuff that comes first is normally dominated by faces staring at you because that's the only thing finalized at that point. So the DreamWorks Face is one of numerous stock attractive faces. For instance, you may have also seen the "everyone is smiling, bright eyes and maybe waving at you". See also Mascot with Attitude, American Kirby Is Hardcore, Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You. |

Sonic Unleashed, due to the Werehog having a lower brow, accidentally gives Sonic this expression on the boxart. Early Sonic boxart and title screens had Sonic with notably similar expressions used for the exact same reason as the DreamWorks face (though after the first game, the American boxart tended to have more attitude to the point that some of the Japanese boxart didn't even have the face for a while up until Sonic 3D Blast). This has since become a trademark expression for the hedgehog. |

The poster for Monsters University has the younger Sulley doing it—justified, as it's to show audiences that the college-age overconfident jock we see in this movie isn't the kind, gentle adult Sulley audiences know from Monsters, Inc.. Mike, however, can't make it, having only one eye of course. | |

Matilda herself has one of these on the DVD cover and poster, where she is spinning an orb with her teachers and parents engulfed inside it on her finger. From the looks of it, one would guess that Matilda is some sort of mischievous witch girl who likes to pull pranks and cast spells on people, but Matilda is actually a nice little girl who happens to have telekinetic abilities that came about from the oppression that she faces at home from her parents and Miss Trunchbull, and only ever uses her powers as revenge on people who've done her wrong and to teach them lessons. | |

Disney's been doing this more often since the early 2000's (not coincidentally around the time Shrek came out). Ads for Bolt, Meet the Robinsons, and Home on the Range all included this. The dot-eyed Chicken Little even managed to do this sometimes. In The Lion King, Simba makes the DreamWorks face in advertisements, on toys and in the actual movie, where it signifies him as a mischief-maker. The minimalist poster for Tangled had Rapunzel and Flynn side by side, looking at the audience deviously behind a sea of hair. Those who see the film know that Rapunzel is usually polite and cheery at heart and only rarely gets devious. It's equally as unnecessary as the rest of the movie's Totally Radical style ad campaigns. Disney was associated with a Bollywood animated musical called Roadside Romeo, and pretty much all the posters featured this.◊ These◊ posters◊ for Mars Needs Moms. Wreck-It Ralph does it as well.◊ Several promotional pictures for Frozen have Elsa making that face. While she does it in the movie itself a few times, it's not often. And perhaps because of backlash, it's noticeable that the promotional posters for Frozen II make a point of keeping Elsa away from the DreamWorks face... with the exception of this◊ image. The series continues with Judy Hopps making the face in this poster◊ of Zootopia. Nick Wilde also wears this expression in plenty of advertisement, but it quite fits his smug behaviour in the first half of the movie. |

Daimos: Raiza, who prides herself in being Prince Richter's right hand, is prone to this trope. She makes an especially smug one◊ when gleefully telling Melvi that Dr. Wallin was executed for treason against the Baam Empire. Reiko, the dim-witted upper-class woman from episode 11, makes one◊ as she confidently proclaims that Kyoushiro is in love with her. It serves to highlight her The Ditz status since it couldn't be farther from the truth. |

Early Sonic boxart and title screens had Sonic with notably similar expressions used for the exact same reason as the DreamWorks face (though after the first game, the American boxart tended to have more attitude to the point that some of the Japanese boxart didn't even have the face for a while up until Sonic 3D Blast). This has since become a trademark expression for the hedgehog. | |

The minimalist poster for Tangled had Rapunzel and Flynn side by side, looking at the audience deviously behind a sea of hair. Those who see the film know that Rapunzel is usually polite and cheery at heart and only rarely gets devious. It's equally as unnecessary as the rest of the movie's Totally Radical style ad campaigns. | |

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson did it so much in his WWE days that his logos made the expression. Although normally he didn't do the half-grin, just the eyebrow. On the poster for the intercontinental title match of WWE Extreme Rules 2016◊, Miz and Cesaro do it side by side. |
