So would that make Shrek a Disney movie now? What would Universal do then? You can ask the next logical question yourself.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Will they move the Shrek stuff at Universal over to DLR and WDW?

No, Shrek would stay with Universal since they were in contract at the time, now Madagascar 3 might be a different story...

That would be a good idea; Madagascar 2 didn't have a different story, and suffered therefrom.

Yeah, but Abby still loves it. The penguins really make that movie though.

Yeah, the only difference being in VTTB Kowalski survived to have the s**t beaten out of him another day while in TOS Star Trek few if any red shirts survived.
