Dreamworks have already tasted success in 2010 as How to Train Your Dragon was a hit earlier this year.
The film did not do well in it's opening weekend and was considered a bit of a disappointment. However word of mouth saw the movie begin to do well and it went on to be one of the most successful for the studio.
A Viking teenager named Hiccup lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life.
The teen's smarts and offbeat sense of humour don't sit too well with his tribe or its chief... who just happens to be Hiccup's father.
However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter.
But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup's one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.
- Monsters vs Aliens - $381 million
Monsters vs Aliens was released back in 2009 and was the first to be directly produced in a stereoscopic 3-D format instead of being converted into 3-D.
The movie boasted an impressive voice cast of Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Conrad Vernon, Rainn Wilson and Kiefer Sutherland.
When California girl Susan Murphy is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a "monster" named Ginormica.
The military jumps into action, and she is captured and held in a secret government compound. The world learns that the military has been quietly rounding up other monsters over the years.
This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus.
Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country.
As a last resort, under the guidance of General W.R. Monger (on a desperate order from The President), the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to combat the aliens and save the world from imminent destruction.
Megamind is released 3rd December.
