And likewise the IQs levels these films will be aimed at:
Flushed Away - 86
Shrek the Third - 19
Bee Movie - 27
Kung Fu Panda - 35
Madagascar 2 - 11
Monsters vs. Aliens - 39
How to Train Your Dragon - 37
Shrek 4 - 4
Puss in Boots - 6

Shrek 4 and Puss In Boots: The Movie? I don't know about that...I'm excited for Shrek The Third, but four might be just over-doing it.

Also, is National Treasure slated for 2010? If they start filming this coming January, why are they waiting two-three years to put it out? Movies don't take that long. I'm really psyched for this one. I loved the first movie...but in retrospect, I would have cast someone other than Nic Cage in the lead role. He was a bit cheesy.

No NT2 is for next Fall not Fall 2010 - now if they did a #3 then that may be in 2010 but not #2

Mi I-kew are 6! Pi$$ un B00ks rock!

Look at Ichabod's post to put this message into context.

Its kinda hard to get excited about Shrek 4, when Shrek the Third comes out next May and I'm hardly excited for it. Also I thought it was a known fact Shrek 4 was coming out in 2010. It feels like Dreamworks puts out these same press releases, each time they have a new movie coming out.

I'll just ignore the fact that you challenged my intellectual capability since that was too funny.

Shrek 4? Are you kidding me? Am I the only one who doesn't think the Shrek movies are all that fantastic??

Nope. I thought the first one was pretty good, but the second one can be summed up simply by "meh" for me. I'm not going to be seeing the third.

I give you the others, but the fact that Jerry Seinfeld is working on Bee Movie makes me have confidence it'll be better than all 7(soon to be 8 ) Pixar films wrapped into one.

As far as Dhrek goes, well, I'm actually looking forward to Madagascar 2 more, as I enjoyed the original much more than either Shrek and think a sequel can have potential. But the one Dreamworks animated film I want to see is "Over the Hedge 2"! It was a terrific movie, and the first Dreamworks animated film to get it right on every level, (it even rivals most of the finest of Disney, Aardman, Pixar and others) and the fact it was based on a comic strip basically makes the film scream "sequel".

More please!

I figure the above comment was probably winking at me, so I'll respond thusly: Not a snowball's chance in hell. If it was someone other than Seinfeld, then... still not a snowball's chance in hell.

I will agree with that, though. OTH was the third best animated film this year (out of four good ones ) and a sequel would be cool. Madagascar? Eh, maybe. The film was funnier in theaters than it is on DVD.

Shrek 4 I can see, but Puss in Boots: The Movie? Am I the only one that thought that the whole character was just way over-hyped and not that funny? Because it certainly feels like it. I hope this flops like nobody's buisiness.

Why does every movie need a sequel??!!! Can't they just let them rest in peace!!
I like movies, but most times I hate sequels!!!! Shrek 2 was pretty good though, but 3 and 4 is too much!!!
The same goes for Madagascar, the first one wasn't that great, so why should the 2nd be better?

I AM WITH YOU DOTTIE!! I hate sequels. Its just a way for the company to try to capitalize on the success of the first movie (and make more money). Most of the time animated sequels are terrible! NOT EVERY MOVIE NEEDS A SEQUEL!

Great to see that someone thinks the same way!! I don't even like the (supposedly) better sequels such as TLM II, TLK II...
The only one I enjoyed was Bambi II.
It's the same in Hollywood. Every fricking movie that is kind of successful gets a sequel. That messes up the ends of the original movies, and for me it changes the story of the first one, and I can't enjoy the original anymore as I used to. Of course, there are movies that are intended to have sequels and are conceived that way (e.g. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Lord of the rings...), but for most movies the sequels mess up the original.

National Treasure 2 is expected to be 76 hours long, feature an actual clone of Nicolas Cage (no special effects, no John Travolta), and will be in Smell-o-vision/3D/10.2 surround sound.


Whatever the big innovation is in...the next four years, this movie will have it.

I'm all for someone other than Cage in the Natl. Treasure sequel. Why must studios feel the need to release all these crappy, unneccessary sequels.....
