Today DreamWorks Animation issued a press release announcing their theatrical plans through 2014 featuring six original films three sequels based on Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar and How to Train Your Dragon franchises. Or, at least, that's how they put it. You could also include the Shrek franchise in there as well as Puss in Boots hits theaters on November 4 along with Kung Fu Panda 2 on May 26 as the studio's other 2011 release.
I will get to the details on the list of films in a second, but I thought I would first reference Rumblewick, which was announced as going in production last week via a press release that also included the above piece of art. The film is being directed by Tim Johnson (Over The Hedge, Antz) with a screenplay by Jim Herzfeld (Meet the Fockers, Meet the Parents), which is inspired by the children's book, "My Unwilling...

Briefly: The future slate for DreamWorks Animation is already packed with a great many sequel projects, but there is evidently still room for some new projects that could spawn future sequels down the line. The lastest option is for the kids' book My Unwilling Witch (The Rumblewick Letters) by Hiawyn Oram and Sarah Warburton, which tells of a witch's cat whose owner no longer wants to be a witch. Rumblewick sounds as if it'll be a bit different, however, if still set in that same general world. It is being written by Tim Johnson (Antz) and Jim Herzfeld (Meet the Parents) with Tim Johnson directing. According to a press release, "Rumblewick will follow the adventures of a magician's rabbit for whom the invitation to learn real magic and train as a witch's familiar seems like a dream come true!
