MUMBAI: US kids brand Nickelodeon, is working with DeamWorks
Animation to make television shows based on the films
Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda.
Media
reports state that the Madagascar show will
chronicle the adventures of its penguin characters
— Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private.
Nick
will handle the day-to-day development of the series,
but plans to outsource the actual CG production. DreamWorks's
Jeffrey Katzenberg was quoted in Variety saying
that these two projects are likely just the first
of what will be future partnerships between Nickelodeon
and Dreamworks, which have been in the works since
DreamWorks was acquired by Paramount last December
