Katzenberg Lays Out DreamWorks Sequel Plan
In an interview with Empire, DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg laid out the company's plans for sequels to its hit franchises. He said MADAGASCAR would have at least one more and possibly a fourth installment. The characters will return to New York and deal with the transition back to urban life.
As for KUNG FU PANDA and HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, DreamWorks has six and three films worked out, respectively. While there are eight books for DRAGON, the studio has at least two additional stories worked out with the chance for more.

... and don't forget filling the soundtrack with anachronistic pop culture tunes...
Hey now, don't go painting all of DreamWorks' films with the same broad brush. We all know certain DW franchises (no need to name them out loud, we all know which ones) lean too hard on pop culture/fart gags - but 'lifeless, soulless characters'? Both Panda and Dragon were built around characters and stories with real emotional depth. (Okay, so there was 1 'getting hit in the crotch' gag in Panda.) I just hope the sequels don't fall into the rut you're describing.
So we can look forward to more money grubbing, lifeless, soulless characters, and cliche pop culture references? I hope there's a fart joke and somebody getting Popped in the Nuts. That never gets old.
