Variety via Coming Soon indicates that Kung Fu Panda and the Madagascar penguins Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private are coming to Nickelodeon in their very own shows. Nick Studios will handle the “day-to-day” duties for the series, with DreamWorks Animation having less involvement in the shows than in the films upon which they are based. Tom Martin (The Simpsons) will write the pilot for Panda, while Paul Rugg (Freakazoid!) will pen the Madagascar spinoff.
