For the past three decades, Disney and Pixar have been the leaders in animated movies, but DreamWorks Animation is a close second. Known for franchises like *Shrek*, *How to Train Your Dragon*, and *Kung Fu Panda*, DreamWorks has created many incredibly popular films. These films continue to perform well, consistently becoming hits when added to streaming platforms.
Starting in October, Hulu added all three original *Madagascar* movies – released in 2005, 2008, and 2012 – to its streaming library. Now, Hulu subscribers can watch the entire *Madagascar* trilogy in one place.
While you can watch the first three *Madagascar* movies on Hulu, the entire series isn’t available there. The 2014 spinoff, *Penguins of Madagascar*, is currently missing. Though it wasn’t as popular as the main *Madagascar* films—focusing on the penguins as secret agents trying to save the world—many fans now consider it the funniest and best movie in the franchise.
What’s Next for Madagascar?
The *Madagascar* movies were huge hits for DreamWorks, with each film earning more money than the last and collectively bringing in almost $2 billion worldwide. However, the 2014 spin-off, *Penguins of Madagascar*, didn’t perform as well, earning $373 million globally.
I was so excited when I heard they were planning a fourth *Madagascar* movie, even before *Penguins* came out! But when *Penguins* didn’t do so well, and DreamWorks Animation went through some big changes in 2015, the fourth movie got put on hold. It’s been almost ten years now, and we haven’t heard a single thing about *Madagascar 4*. Honestly, it’s making a lot of us fans worry that the series might be over for good.
These days, it’s rare for a popular franchise to truly end. DreamWorks recently released a live-action *How to Train Your Dragon* movie and is already working on *Shrek 5*. Considering how well the original *Madagascar* films did in theaters, it would be more shocking if the studio *didn’t* revisit that series eventually.
It’s also possible DreamWorks has too many other projects going on right now, and a new *Madagascar* movie might be put on hold for a while. Without an official statement from the studio, it’s hard to say what the future holds for the series.
