It's always a good idea to look ahead, especially if you happen to be a major studio. In the case of DreamWorks Animation, they aren't just looking ahead, they are lining up all the necessary elements and locking in release dates for a long slate of new films. The list of projects will secure their continued presence at the multiplex through 2016. Some of the projects you may have already heard about, but we're willing to bet there are a few surprises unveiled in this lineup. Here's how it shakes out...
The Croods--March 22, 2013--Centers on a neanderthal family on an epic quest after their cave is destroyed. Featuring the voice talents of Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone, and Cloris Leachman.
Turbo--July 19, 2013--The story of a garden snail who wishes to win the Indy 500. Featuring the voice talents of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Michael Pena, Luis Guzmán, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Ken Jeong, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Ben Schwartz, Kurtwood Smith, Snoop Lion, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman--November 1, 2013--Based on the classic cartoon about a time-traveling dog and his loyal assistant. Features the voice talents of Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Stephen Colbert, Allison Janney, Ariel Winter, and Stephen Tobolowsky.
Me And My Shadow--March 14, 2014--Revolves around the adventure-seeking shadow of a adventure-averse man. Featuring the voice talents of Josh Gad, Bill Hader, and Kate Hudson.
How To Train Your Dragon 2--June 20, 2014--Sequel to the popular 2010 dragon-riding adventure. Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, and Kristen Wiigare all set to return.
Happy Smekday!--November 26, 2014--An overwhelmingly optimistic alien must team up with a teenage girl to save the galaxy after his own alien race comes after him. Starring Jim Parsons and Rihanna.
The Penguins Of Madagascar--March 27, 2015--The popular penguins from DreamWorks 'Madagascar' series finally get their own movie. Simon J Smith ('Bee Movie') will direct.
Trolls (working title)--June 5, 2015--Based on the Troll doll toyline. Seth Rogenis set to star.
B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations--November 6, 2015--Very few details are known about this project other than that it revolves around ghosts. It will also star Seth Rogen.
Mumbai Musical (working title)--December 19, 2015--DreamWorks' first Bollywood-style animated musical. Stephen Schwartz ('Wicked,' 'Enchanted') is writing the lyrics while A.R. Rahman ('127 Hours,' 'Slumdog Millionaire') will write the music.
Kung Fu Panda 3--March 18, 2016--The third installment of DreamWorks' wildly successful 'Kung Fu Panda'franchise. Guillermo del Toro is set to produce.
How To Train Your Dragon 3--June 18, 2016
So there you have it, the full roster. I was a big fan of 'How to Train Your Dragon' so I am looking forward to the sequels. However, conceptually the most interesting film on the list, in my opinion, is 'Me And My Shadow.' The idea of a man and his own shadow striving to lead separate lives is quite intriguing, and actually seems like solid basis for a Pixar short; never a bad jumping off point for any animation studio. Obviously, with a list like this there are going to be some projects that don't excite us as much as others. I have a supremely bad feeling about 'Happy Smekday!' Its central conceit feels like that of a bad sitcom, and the biggest star they could attach happens to be Rhianna. Uh oh.
What do you guys think? Is there anything on the list you didn't previously know about that piques your interest? Anything you're concerned about?

Comment by Captain Talon on September 13, 2012 at 1:04am It's about time the Penguins got their own film! It'll probably be the only Madagascar movie I care about!
Comment by Yaobikuni on September 12, 2012 at 1:00am Someone does not know who Jim Parsons is. For shame.
they need to make a pinocchico and giney movie
Comment by Longleke on September 11, 2012 at 9:58am Spill don't say Snoop Lion. You'll just encourage him. I'll be surprised if that moniker is even still around by July 19th, 2013.

True. But, as for original films, most of them look good. The rest, we have to find out.
Comment by Mainstream12 on September 11, 2012 at 7:23am I wonder if Ryan Reynolds and Bill Hader just knock out their voices for the multiple movies they're in in one recording session. I'm sure they don't, but it seems more effecient that way.
Comment by MavenCree on September 11, 2012 at 1:30am How to train your dragon was perfect as it was. LEAVE IT ALONE!
Comment by Boatloads1017 on September 11, 2012 at 1:04am I'm honestly interested in seeing what an animated Bollywood musical would look like. Also, DAYUM. Trying to cram 3 animated movies into each year? Shit. That's not a good sign.
Comment by Marz on September 11, 2012 at 12:57am @Hayley Fischer the Brony There just repeating is what im saying yes those films were great but I don't wont them to repeat the same thing over and over again do we really need another Kung Fu Panda or How To Train Your Dragon 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 sequels?
Comment by strange-benhur on September 11, 2012 at 12:38am Mumbai Musical (working title)--December 19, 2015--DreamWorks' first Bollywood-style animated musical.
