No Monsters Vs. Aliens Sequel Coming After All
Cinema Blend News —
No Monsters Vs. Aliens Sequel Coming After All Earlier this year I fell hard for Monsters vs. Aliens , and apparently I wasn't alone-- the DreamWorks animated movie made $198 here in the U.S., and is currently at #6 on the box office chart for the year. But apparently being a better-than-average comedy and a box office hit at home isn't enough for DreamWorks Animation.

It certainly makes more sense than "Shrek," "Madagascar," or "Kung Fu Panda" sequels, which were all self-contained stories in which the characters' arcs were compete.
