DreamWorks have announced plans for a sequel to this year's animated adventure Madagascar.

Ben Stiller, Jada Pinkett Smith and Chris Rock will return as Alex the Lion, Gloria the Hippo and Marty the Zebra respectively. Again, Mireille Soria will produce and Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath will direct.

DreamWords Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg told the annual Merrill Lynch Media & Entertainment Conference in Pasadena: "As a result of its tremendous box office success, the potential to tell a new chapter in its story and the popularity of the film's characters, we are excited to announce that we are making Madagascar our second company franchise -- along with Shrek. We will release a theatrical sequel in 2008."

In addition, the penguins from the movie will enjoy their own straight-to-video release in 2009.
