Madagascar Spin-Off Movie Coming

Despite the lack of a fully fledged sequel since 2009, Madagascar fans have been kept busy in the past few years by the spin-off television series The Penguins of Madagascar and some seasonal specials, but today things have just got a little more exciting- a new movie based around the characters of the former is set for release in 2013! Best of all, this won't even halt production of the aforementioned TV programme, with the professional voice-over actors who portray the penguins continuing to record lines for the series and for the feature film too. Whether the spin-off angle will work for Dreamworks remains to be seen, however we can probably get a good idea of the quality of these side projects from upcoming prequel Puss in Boots, a new Shrek flick. Before the penguins get their own film, look out for Madagascar 3 next June...
