Dreamworks is going to be hella busy over the next few years. Of course they'll be continuing their fist fight with perennial frontrunner, Pixar, but there are new challengers o the animation throne all of the time(lookin' at you, ILM!). I like the things they've done recently, and it could be argued that Dreamworks had the better animated slate last year. This year could prove to be the same with Kung Fu Panda 2 going head-to-head with Cars 2. That's not all they've got in store, though, as the studio has released their full schedule of animated releases for the next few years. Check those out below, along with who'll be starring and directing. Thanks to The FilmStage and Slashfilm for the heads up!
Kung Fu Panda 2 for May 26th 2011

How to Train Your Dragon 2 for June 20, 2014

Obviously, How to Train Your Dragon is the big daddy here, but the two I'm most looking forward to are Rise of the Guardians(based on Joyce's novel) and Mr. Peabody & Sherman because I'm a Bullwinkle geek at heart.
