Dreamworks Animation has produced lots of classic animated movies, such as the Shrek series, Home, The Croods, the Kung Fu Panda series and the Madagascar series. Let’s have a look at the studio’s upcoming films that are coming out over the next few years.

Trolls, starring Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake, is coming out on 4 November and its theme song ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling!’ by Timberlake has already hit number one in 16 countries. The movie is based on the troll toys and focuses on two trolls who go on a quest to save their village.

2017 will see the studio release three movies: The Boss Baby is scheduled for release on 31 March, Captain Underpants is pencilled in for a 2 June release and The Croods 2 is set to come out on 22 December. The Boss Baby stars Alec Baldwin, Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow and is about a seven-year-old boy uniting with his ‘boss’ of a baby brother to restore order to the world, save their parents and show everyone that love is a force to be reckoned with.

How To Train Your Dragon 3 will be the final film in the How To Train Your Dragon series and is set to come out on 18 May. Not much information about the third film in the trilogy has been released yet, though most of the regular cast from the first and second films are expected to return.
