Kung Fu Panda 2, formerly titled Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom, is an upcoming animated film and the sequel to the 2008 film, Kung Fu Panda. It is set to be in 3D, will be directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson. The film is set to be released on May 27, 2011 and was originally going to be named Kung Fu Panda 2: Pandamonium.
Po (Jack Black), now a kung fu master, is fighting alongside with Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) and The Furious Five—Monkey (Jackie Chan), Crane (David Cross), Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Viper (Lucy Liu), and Mantis (Seth Rogen). They have to join forces with another group of kung fu masters—of Skunkman (James Woods), Thundering Rhino (Victor Garber), Soothsayer (Michelle Yeoh) and Croc (Jean-Claude Van Damme) in order to defeat Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), a peacock, who plans to use a secret weapon that can destroy kung fu forever. This is one film which many families can't wait to watch. We were all much younger when Po was first introduced to us in his humble beginnings as clumsy worker in a noodle restaurant who had a dream of becoming a great kung fu master in the future. The character of Po has become a member of each of the families whose lives he has touched with his success story. The success of the first film can be seen in an increased awareness of the endagerment of the panda species in China and all over the world.
What is more interesting is that Po, now a full-fledged Kung Fu Master, has brought along a new bunch of friends to help him and the old holdovers do this obviously difficult task to stop Lord Shen. And they are brought to life thanks to the voices of a number of Hollywood Superstars!
