Sequel/remake/adaptation? Sequel to 2008 animated hit

What's at stake: Whether or not tubby martial arts master Po (voiced by Jack Black) can match Shrek and the animals of "Madagascar" as DreamWorks Animation franchise material.
Chance of success: The first "Panda" was DreamWorks' biggest non-"Shrek" hit in the U.S. until "How to Train Your Dragon," and an even bigger hit overseas. A splashy premiere at the Cannes Film Festival should give "Panda" an additional touch of class.
