MD Poll: Dream a Little DreamWorks

As always, DreamWorks Animation is following in the footsteps of Disney, but this time it isn't a "tooner", but a tuner. Joining Disney's The Lion King and The Little Mermaid on Broadway, Shrek the Musical will begin previews on November 8, and if it rakes in the green (sorry), you know Katzenberg and Co. will be eyeing their feature film canon for their next foray on the Great White Way.

And that's where you and the latest MD Poll come in: What DreamWorks Animation movie should be the next Broadway musical? Possibilities include their first feature (Antz) and their latest (Kung Fu Panda), The Prince of Egypt and The Road to El Dorado (which already boast scores by Stephen Schwartz/Hans Zimmer and Elton John/Tim Rice, respectively) and their Aardman Animations collaborations (Chicken Run, Flushed Away and the Academy Award winning Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit), plus such hits as Madagascar, Over the Hedge and Shark Tale.

Place your vote in the poll located in the sidebar at right, and "toon" in two weeks from now to see the results!
