DreamWorks was doubtlessly going to be hankering for more sequels starring Oscar and friends.
Though the $160 million domestic haul of Shark Tale didn’t make it the next Aladdin or The Lion King, it still drummed up lots of cash. The first two Shrek installments and Ice Age were the only animated features to hail outside of the Mouse House to accomplish that feat before Shark Tale came along. It’s hard to remember now, in an age where Universal movies regularly trounce animated Disney titles at the box office, but as late as the mid-2000s, it was still rare to see non-Disney animated movies crack $150 million at the domestic box office. Once Shark Tale arrived in October 2004, its box office seemed to indicate that it would indeed be inspiring a franchise. Plus, after the box office failure of Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas nearly capsized all of DreamWorks, the promise of tons of sequels in the future could quell the concerns of Wall Street and other outsiders worried about the company. The maneuver demonstrated lots of pre-release confidence in both of the 2004 titles DreamWorks Animation was planning to unleash on audiences. Simultaneously, the studio was also working on getting things together for a sequel to Shark Tale. Back at the start of 2004, before Shrek 2 (the studio’s first sequel) premiered, DreamWorks Animation began work on the screenplay for Shrek the Third.
The strangest part of Shark Tale 2 never existing is that DreamWorks Animation originally planned to make this movie. Surrounded by fish who have spent their entire lives in 'the box,' Gill alone feels the pull to be free. This tough, scarred, one-finned fish was raised in the ocean, but taken at a young age to live in a tank.

What happened? Why hasn't Shark Tale 2 ever swam its way into movie theaters? He is the leader of an eclectic gang of fish, who hang on his every word and are drawn to his magnetic personality. Despite coming around early in the studio’s lifespan (back when they didn’t have a ton of stuff to endlessly exploit for sequels) and making a pretty penny in its initial theatrical release, there has never been a Shark Tale 2. Shark Tale was only the fourth computer-animated motion picture to be released by this studio.

Peabody and Sherman spawned animated TV shows!Ī rare exception to this rampant franchising, though, can be found in one of the earliest DreamWorks Animation titles. Even infamous money-losers like Turbo and Mr. In fact, it’s more peculiar to find a title within the DreamWorks Animation library that hasn’t gotten a franchise extension of some kind. If it’s possible to extend any of its movies into a long-running saga or Netflix cartoon, DreamWorks Animation has exploited each and every one of those nooks and crannies.
Think of this studio for more than a few seconds and titles like Shrek 2 or Kung Fu Panda 3 or Trolls World Tour will inevitably come to mind. DreamWorks Animation has often been synonymous with the very idea of sequels.
