DreamWorks Animation and its current distributor 20th Century Fox stand to make a killing this summer with How To Train Your Dragon 2—heck, they’re going to get my family’s money this weekend—so it shouldn’t be a surprise that the studio that never met a Shrek or Madagascar movie it wouldn’t green-light has even more sequels in the pipeline. DreamWorks had previously announced release dates for The Penguins Of Madagascar (November 26th, 2014), Kung Fu Panda 3 (December 23, 2015), and How To Train Your Dragon 3 (June 17, 2016). And today, according to The Hollywood Reporter, DreamWorks has also set firm dates for the following:

Boss Baby: March 18, 2016
Captain Underpants: January 13, 2017
The Croods 2: November 3, 2017
Larrikins: February 16, 2018
Madagascar 4: May 18, 2018
Puss In Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves: November 2, 2018

For those keeping score at home, fully half of those are sequels—although to be fair to DreamWorks Animation, the company’s slate for the next couple of years also includes the non-sequels Home, B.O.O.: Bureau Of Otherworldly Operations, Bollywood Superstar Monkey, and Trolls.

Speaking personally, as much as I’m looking forward to How To Train Your Dragon 2, I tend to find animated sequels to be a tough sit, because they typically combine tedious repetition of the earlier films’ gags with a “Why are we doing this?” existential angst that makes them unduly depressing. (Seriously, take note sometime of how many animated sequels—from the Ice Age movies to Kung Fu Panda 2—are about midlife crises.) For now, animation fans can take a couple of minutes and watch the just-released trailer for DreamWorks’ Home, and start thinking about how its jokes will play when they’re repeated four years from now in the inevitable Home 2.
