Katzenberg Planning 3rd Madagascar, 2nd Kung Fu Panda

August 14, 2008


DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg expects at least one additional "Madagascar" sequel after Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and said that the studio, as was previously rumored, has also begun talks aimed at creating a sequel to its summer hit Kung Fu Panda.

Katzenberg said "Escape 2 Africa" is the "second chapter in one story," adding that "there is at least one more chapter. We ultimately want to see the characters make it back to New York."

An announcement about a Kung Fu Panda sequel could come within two months.

"We've started conversations about it, and I think in the next 30 or 60 days, we'll be able to talk completely about that," Katzenberg said.

Kung Fu Panda has earned $560 million worldwide. In 2005, Madagascar took in $530 million globally.

I just got through watching madagascar for maybe the 100th time, having bought the DVD for my CHILDREN, I find it interesting that no one has mentioned the movies target audience, CHILDREN!! we find ourselves singing along to the songs OVER AND OVER, we Really wish there had been a whole lot more of the making of and deleted scenes, special features type of thing that way you feel you get more bang for your buck. I personally would love to see more and more of madagascar, I really like the fact that the original voice over team made it back for the sequel. I have found myself a lot bigger fan of these animated characters than the so called grown up fare that hollywood has been producing.
