Madagascar. The first 3D animated movie that I ever trully hated. This movie was junk from top to bottom. Horrible story, painful script, mediocre animation, annoying voice acting. There was very little (maybe the penguins) that was redeemable about this wreck of a movie.
Now, word is out that Madagascar 2 is going to be put into production. The good folks over at Dark Horizons give us this:
DreamWorks has announced that the studio will produce a sequel to the computer-animated comedy “Madagascar” Katzenberg also announced that Ben Stiller and Chris Rock will be reprising their roles and is “looking forward” to other original cast members returning to their roles.
Here’s the thing. As much as I hated Madagascar, I can understand why the studio wants to make another one. The first film (as bad as it was) made over $500 million workd wide. That’s a lot of coin my friends. So who on earth wouldn’t do another one if the first one made that kind of cash? I would.
Right now they’re saying a 2008 release date is the target. I won’t even bother seeing this one when it comes out.
