You don’t need to be a distinguished film critic to know that the star-led family film is not created equal. While the Hollywood canon overflows with a number of family-focused films intended to bring audiences together over the holiday period, easing the tension of an otherwise stressful period that sees relationships put under the microscope, few have enjoyed such a successful run as the Night At The Museum franchise.
From 2006 through to 2014, the franchise produced three films, the first of which grossed a staggering $574.5 million USD worldwide. Helmed by Ben Stiller and with an all-star cast that included the late Robin Williams, the series was an instant hit with a storyline that was as entertaining as it was funny. But while the director of the trilogy’s three entries, Shawn Levy, has been quick to stress that a fourth film would never happen, it appears that isn’t the case. Now, it’s been revealed that an animated follow up to the comedy series will hit Disney+.
