"Judging by what I have already had an opportunity to see these will be excellent movies which is why, just like with Shrek The ThirdTM, we expect great interest in licensed products for mobile phones. Our developers are already very much looking forward to the new animated characters."
Kung Fu PandaTM
Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po works in his family's noodle shop while daydreaming about becoming a Kung Fu master. His dreams soon become reality when he is unexpectedly chosen to join the world of Kung Fu and study alongside his idols-the legendary fighters Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey-under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu hero into reality? Po puts his heart-and his girth-into the task, and ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.
Madagascar 2TM
All of the loveable characters are back – Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, Gloria the hippo, King Julian, Maurice, and the penguins – inMadagascar 2TM.
Left marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane – sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just enough to make it to the wildest place of all – the vast plains of Africa – where our zoo-raised crew encounters species of their own kind for the very first time. While discovering their roots, they quickly discover the differences between the concrete jungle and the heart of Africa. Despite long-lost relatives, romantic rivals, and scheming hunters, Africa seems like a „crack-a-lackin“ great place… but is it better than their Central Park home?
