Movie Studios Pulling Back From Comic-Con

In summers past, Warner Brothers used Comic-Con International , the premiere convention for comic book, science fiction and fantasy fans, as a marketing platform for movies like “ Sherlock Holmes,” “300” and “Sucker Punch.” Enlarge This Image Walt Disney Studios staged “ Tron: Legacy ” stunts there three years in a row.

The four paramilitary avians from Antarctica are secondary but scene-stealing characters in the Madagascar movies, the third of which is scheduled to hit theaters in 2012. In a sign of the foursome's fanning fashionability, when the first movie hit Blu-ray, " The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper ," an animated short featuring the penguins,was one of the extras. The characters were also spun off in a CGI-animated TV show titled The Penguins of Madagascar that aired on Nickelodeon; it finished 2010 as the second most-watched animated show behind SpongeBob SquarePants amongst ages 2-11. The show is now in its second seas
