If you don't mind, I'm going to put in a bit of economics and technical stuff in for this.

It's true, Dreamworks and Disney may never work together on a movie. The chances of that happening are probably as good as winning the lottery. The reason why isn't just because they are competitors in the market (which is true), but of all the money, planning, and engeneering that would go into it.

First off, both Dreamworks and Disney Animation have different programs for animation. Even if they could get around there, animation takes up HUGE amounts of data that are stored on big hard drives that they keep at their studios. Sharing this with each other would be a huge waste of time and money.

Secondly, the economic factor is a big part of it as well. Making a movie together would take a huge budget for the companies, and they may not get as much back as they hope. Also, splitting the money could be a problem as well, maybe even causing legal issues between the companies if it gets that bad. If legal issues do come up, it could cost ether company millions of dollars. If it's Disney, it's a big loss, but not so bad as they are connected to a larger corporation, though it might make them cut back on movies. However, if Dreamworks looses the legal argument, they could quite possibly go bankrupt.

Thirdly, planning this movie and animating it is also a big nuisance. Though the companies have similar traits, both have different styles and different opinions on how movies should go. Many arguments could come up as to how the movie would go. Also, finding a director that suits both companies would be a like finding a book in an unorganized library. They could look for a very very long time and eventually find one, but by then so much time has gone by that there would be no point in even making the movie anymore.

Trust me, you don't want Dreamworks and Disney working together on a movie.
