New voice actors for "Madagascar 3", more about "Tintin 2 and 3", and talks for a "Puss in Boots 2"

     Well as you can see by the title above that this post is on sequels. So lets start off with the future fail Madagascar 3.
      Entertainment Weekly has announced the new voice members of the sequel is. And these actors are super busy. “Most ubiquitous star” name fighters are Jessica Chastain and Bryan Cranston are being voiced in the film. Other member is Martin Short. They will play circus animals. Co-director Eric Darnell describes Cranston’s character, a Russian-accented Siberian tiger named Vitaly, as “this very conservative tough guy who doesn’t like any change or any outsiders coming into his world,” while Short’s Stefano the sea lion will be “this hilarious comic character — he’s always bubbling with excitement and enthusiasm and is up for anything.” Meanwhile, Chastain will voice Gia the jaguar, who’s “a little more thoughtful, and she’s beautiful” and serves as “a moral compass for the circus.” Chastain and Short trained with a voice coach to gain convincing Italian accents.The image of the group above.
         Now more about the next two Tintin's.  Steven Spielberg says this-
      I’m not going to say which stories have been chosen for Peter Jackson’s sequel because Peter and I agreed that we weren’t going to let that information out yet. The script is now being written. It’s more than one book, but it’s not three books, so that means it’s two books. It’s two and a half books that we’re combining with The Secret of the Unicorn. And Peter will start working on the film this year. When he’s done shooting The Hobbit, he’ll begin his performance capture work with the actors later in 2012, which I’m very excited about. And of course, I’m hoping I’ll be able to direct the third one. I’d love to do the third one because I had so much fun on the first one.
       So it could be The Calculus Affair for the second film.
       Now about the next Puss in Boots. As Antonio Banderas says “I don’t know what is going to happen but I hope we have a continuation of the character,” then he said ”I would love to, obviously. This is a character that I’ve [been playing] for ten years. I think we can still squeeze him a little bit more,” I would love a second Puss in Boots.       

Exhibitors angry that "Beauty and the Beast 3-D" is already in stores

    Just like when The Lion King 3-D came out in theaters, the DVD release came out only a few weeks after. But since Disney released Beauty and the Beast 3-D before the theatrical release, exhibitors are angry at Disney for making that move.
    Hears what Deadline had to say-
     Rival studios tell me that exhibitors are quietly furious that Disney has begun selling the Beauty And The Beast 3D Blu-Ray DVD at Target and Walmart and other retailers without fanfare at the same time the film goes into theaters today.
     The DVD was also on sale since October 2011. Hears what Disney had to say-
               We’ve talked to all of our partners in exhibition about this and have made no secret about the Beauty And The Beast 3D Blu-Ray DVD being available. In fact there are multiple exhibition partners that are tying promotions into the 3D Blu-ray being available, like AMC and Regal.
       But I don't care I still have the original DVD version of Beauty and the Beast so I don't care.  

"Beauty and the Beast 3-D" opens up at #2

    Well the box office are in ans as you can see Beauty and the Beast got a nice spot on the charts as it got to hold #2.
     At #1 is Contraband (46% rotten, okay), at #2 is Beauty and the Beast 3-D (91% fresh, awesome), and at #3 is Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (93% fresh, awesome). Alvin and the Chipmunks are holding on at #8. Tintin is already out of the box office and it just barley came out. And I just saw it and it was truly amazing. It even won the Golden Globe.

"Beauty and the Beast 3-D" review: "See in theaters"

    I haven't seen Beauty and the Beast since I was five probably and will in 3-D seems like the next step. This is probably better then The Lion King 3-D.
     Beautiful animation that only Disney can do. Great story, probably the best romantic comedy in history. Amazing 3-D affects. But we'll have to see how Finding Nemo 3-D does.
     So go see in theaters, remember history.

"Allen Gregory" canceled with new Animation Domination Fox block

    Will now I know why Allen Gregory had such a short first season. The show got canceled last week leaving Jonah Hill's show a bust. I actually liked Allen Gregory, it was nominated on my A-wards (no one even voted, come on people I have no life but I do have feelings).
      With Allen Gregory canceled Fox has made a new block featuring the Animation Domination shows, kinda like Cartoon Network with Adult Swim. So we'll be seeing some more Family Guy and Simpsons, also with Napoleoan Dynamite (review coming soon). It will start from 11 pm to 12:30 am on Saturdays. And in January 13th, Fox will feature four new animated shows. Adult Swim producers Nick Weidenfeld, and Hend Baghdady will produce the time block.

"Ultimate Spider-Man" to premiere April 1st, with new Marval block on Disney XD

     I wasn't really a fan of those super hero shows growing up, mainly since I stopped watching Dora tell I was nine. I did like The Spectacular Spider-Man but it got canceled and the creator went to work on Young Justice on Cartoon Network. But now theirs a new Spider-Man in town with a new special place for all things Marval, on Disney XD.
       The new Spider-Man show will premiere on April 1st. It will have the voice of Drake off of Drake and Josh, Drake Bell and Spider-Man creator Stan Lee will be in it too. Also will there be special times for like The Avengers: Earths Mightiness Heroes and all that

"Finding Nemo 3-D" teaser trailer



Don't get me wrong, I love Finding Nemo but in 3-D? Theirs gotta be a stop to this. I mean with The Lion King and the upcoming Beauty and the Beast.
The trailer is above, and kinda looks good.

"Frozen" to be CG rather than hand drawn

    I was really excited for a new hand drawn thing from Disney when I saw the new Winnie the Pooh, but now Disney wants to act all cool and make it CG. But hey, Tangled was an instant classic, since it was Disney's first CG fairy tale. Also it was announced that it will be in 3-D (of course it is).
    So theirs what that is. But really I want to see some more hand drawn stuff, I mean I saw half of the new Mexican version of Top Cat and it was just amazing. It had the best toon looking animation I've seen. And even better that its from the studio that made the adaption of my favorite El Chavo into an animated series (some cool Mexican cartoon I watch when I go to Mexico).

New "Brave" image

    USA Today released allot of new images for movies in 2012. So we are gonna look at the one from Brave.
   Man, I think this image shows the hearten side of the film. And I just love any picture that shows that beautiful red hair. Imagine animating that. So there it is it looks amazing.

First "Tangled Ever After" clip



If you want to go down memory lane or want to introduce Beauty and Beast to your kids then you can catch it in 3-D opening out in Friday. But introducing it is a short sequel to my favorite Tangled.
The clip kind a reminds me of Lord of the Rings. And speaking of sequels Warner Bros. will make a second Horrible Bosses, don't get me wrong Horrible Bosses is one of the best films I've seen in 2011, but this will probably be a fail like The Hangover Part 2. I mean now what, are they gonna try kill more bosses? Also there is talks for a second Bridesmaids, and that also was the funniest movie I've seen with Horrible Bosses. Well I love Kristen Wiig (especially on Saturday Night Live) but if shes not gonna be in the sequel then I don't want to see it. So yeah Wiig isn't gonna be in the sequel because she thought that it never really needed a sequel, so now the funniest chick in the movie Melissa McCarty will now star in it her own. I hope Wiig is in it.
