On Thursday, Comcast announced that it's acquiring DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion, bringing the home of beloved titles like "Shrek" and "Kung-Fu Panda" to NBCUniversal.

Here are the six titles (and a few classics in development) DreamWorks Animation has scheduled for release through 2018, including a sequel to "The Croods" and a third film in the "How to Train Your Dragon" franchise.

A sequel to the spin-off of DreamWorks' most successful franchise, "Shrek," with Antonio Banderas returning as the fierce feline, seems like a no-brainer. Katzenberg has hinted at[5] the possible project but has not given the go-ahead — yet.
