Continuing to cooperate with top names like DreamWorks and Illumination, Universal is about to release many other animated blockbusters, promising to mark more outstanding revenue achievements in the near future.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken
The audience will have the opportunity to “cool off” this summer with an extremely new cartoon about the sea world Ruby Thuy Qua Teen (original title: Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken). The next project of the DreamWorks family in cooperation with Universal will take viewers to the sea, following the “puberty” process of a lovely sea monster girl with a special identity – Ruby Gillman. Introverted and socially shy, Ruby Gillman had a hard time fitting in with her classmates and accepting herself.
But all her efforts quickly collapsed with the appearance of Chelsea Van Der Zee – a red-haired mermaid who quickly attracted everyone’s attention. Chelsea is actually a mermaid with malice, but many times bullied Ruby Gillman. Realizing the bad intentions of the mermaids, Ruby Gillman tries to accept herself, return to her role as a descendant to protect the ocean, and join her family to defeat the evil and become a hero. Vietnamese-born female lead Lana Condor will voice Ruby Gillman, as well as collaborate with a huge cast including Toni Collette, Sam Richardson, Colman Domingo… to create a new adventure in the ocean on the big screen.
Trolls 3
After a long time making the audience anxious, part 3 of Trolls – The Naughty Troll has been officially confirmed with the name Trolls Band Together (Vietnamese title: Dong Tam Hiep Nhac). In this new part, the lovely couple Poppy and Branch were confirmed by DreamWorks to be officially a couple. Not stopping there, Branch surprised Poppy even more when he was a member of the boy group she loved so much – Bro-Zone. When Bro-Zone was active, Branch was very young and sang along with his brothers, but the group disbanded not long after.
Trolls Band Together will be the journey where Branch and Poppy try to reunite this “stormy” band, especially when one of the Floyd members, also Branch’s brother, is kidnapped by the villain. Like the previous parts, Trolls 3 will be filled with music and color, promising to be a “fever” at the end of this year on the big screen. The film is slated to hit theaters on November 17, 2023.
Kung Fu Panda 4
The most recent part about the panda who knows Kung Fu was released 6 years ago, so the news of Kung Fu Panda returning to the screen made the audience extremely excited. At the Comic Con event that took place in April, the film’s crew revealed a few details about the upcoming part 4 content. In this big-screen comeback, the panda Po will set out to find his own heir who can inherit the role of Than Long Dai Hiep.
Also in Kung Fu Panda 4, Po will confront a new villain named Chameleon, who possesses mysterious powers and can summon Po’s old villains back. Jack Black will return to voice the main character, along with a talented cast of Asian origin such as Jackie Chan, Duong Tu Quynh, James Hong … and also female star Angelina Jolie. The film is slated to hit theaters on March 8, 2024.
Despicable Me 4
The billion-dollar success of Minions: The Rise of Gru has created the impetus for the Despicable Me franchise to return with part 4. Gru’s father and son will return to the screen after 7 years since the boom of part 3. All the former voice actors, including Steve Carell as Gru, will return to serve audiences who have been yearning for the project after so many years.
