In a landmark six-figure deal, Sito joined DreamWorks in 1995, after leaving Disney with Jeffrey Katzenberg shortly after Katzenberg formed DreamWorks SKG with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen. Formerly at DreamWorks Feature Animation, Sito entered a one-year development deal with Warner Bros. Feature Animation in November 1998 where he joined Piet Kroon on development for Osmosis Jones.
