High School Musical 3: Senior Year – Yes, it is possible for tweens to get misty-eyed, and that’s just about a given when Troy, Gabriella and the rest of the East High gang prepare to part ways in the first HSM flick for
the big screen. October 24
Bolt — Hmm, will the kid draw for this one be John Travolta voicing Bolt, a Hollywood leading dog? Or Miley Cyrus as his co-star Penny? Regardless of who’s sounding off behind the scenes, we know
a few things for certain: 2009 will see a lot of puppies named Bolt, and an even greater number of hamsters named Rhino (after the flick’s hyper and endearing rodent sidekick.) November 21
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa — The same solid cast (Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett-Smith) reunites for another animated comic adventure that also brings new talent to the jungle, including the late Bernie Mac, Alec
Baldwin, and the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am. (And, yes, those hilarious penguins make a return, too.) November 7Next: Heart-Pounding Heroics
