Madagascar 3 Annouced. Nobody Cares.

We've got news that the animated comedy Madagascar is getting a third movie. Movie Web tells us:

DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg announced that one more sequel is on its way. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is set to open in theaters November 7. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa continues the story of a group of Central Park Zoo animals trying to make their way back to the Big Apple. Calling it the "second chapter in one story," Katzenberg said, "there is at least one more chapter. We ultimately want to see the characters make it back to New York." The returning voice cast for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa includes Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer, Chris Rock and Jada Pinkett Smith, and new cast members including late actor-comedian Bernie Mac.

Poor Bernie Mac. Heath Ledger gets The Dark Knight and he gets stuck with Madagascar 2. The first Madagascar was an okay, but only because of the penguins and the hilarious Sasha Baron Cohen. But the sequel will suck. No exceptions. Here's the trailer if you don't believe me. I see nothing redeeming in that at all. The fact that they are still using the song "I Like To Move It Movie It" shows that they have nothing new to offer. So if they can't even make semi original material for the second one, they'll have nothing for the third.
