摘要

Now showing: DreamWorks' ambitious plan to rule the world of animated movies. ROLL THE PREVIEWS OF MOV-ies that DreamWorks Animation plans to release in the coming months and years, and you'll see an impressive an ay of vastly different worlds it has imagined for the big screen. In "Madagascar," which arrives May 27, the cartoon animals travel from their Central Park Zoo home to lush jungles in Madagascar. "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," set for release this fall, conjures up a pest-plagued working-class British neighborhood, Two years from now, the studio revisits the Kingdom of Far Far Away for the third installment of "Shrek." Then "Bee Movie" (starring Jerry Seinfeld, who's also writing and producing it) brings to life an anthropomorphized world of bees. By the end of the decade, DreamWorks animators will go back to a mythical time to tell the story of a kung fu-fighting panda.
