Those anticipating the usual long wait between films being released in the US and their eventual UK issues will be pleased to learn that DreamWorks will bow its two big animated features this year in the UK soon after their counterpart dates in the States. Shrek 2 will hit on July 2 following an American May 21 premeire, while Shark Tale is even closer to its October 1 US release, coming out less than two weeks later, on October 15.

Still no UK date for this Friday’s April 2 debut of Disney’s Home On The Range (though October is likely), but Pixar’s The Incredibles is slated for an early December release, following its November 5 issue in the US.
