Katzenberg talks Dreamworks Animation Sequel Bonanza

No doubt for the past two years you have been lying awake at night wondering ...if only Dreamworks Animation would announce they were planning on making 5, count 'em, 5 more Kung Fu Panda movies, 2 more entries in the How to Train Your Dragon series and that they would see the Madagascars out to 4. Well it looks like you're in luck because that's exactly what Head honcho Jeffrey Katzenberg has been saying in an interview with Empire; He says; "So today I can tell you pretty succinctly where Madagascar goes. Ultimately they will come back to New York, and they will come to terms with that, which they will do in this next chapter. Because of the way that movie concludes theres probably one more for them"
Kung Fu Panda actually has 6 chapters to it, and weve mapped that out over the years. How to Train Your Dragon is at least three: maybe more, but we know there are a least three chapters to that story. There are actually 8 books."

The real shocker here is number of Panda installments. Does the story of the lazy Jack Black character really have those legs? I can give you $630 million worldwide reasons why it might and whether it be a show of confidence in the brand, or cynicism, or both well see if word on that one changes when the sequel makes its bow in May next year.
