The bear is back in Kung Fu Panda 2.
The animated family action-adventure movie Kung Fu Panda 2, DreamWorks Animation’s follow up to the 2008 smash Kung Fu Panda, offers a solid combination of action, storytelling and animation.
Featuring the voice talent of Jack Black (Gulliver’s Travels), Angelina Jolie (The Tourist), Seth Rogen (The Green Hornet), Danny McBride (Your Highness), Dustin Hoffman (Little Fockers), Gary Oldman (Sid & Nancy) and Jackie Chan (The Spy Next Door), the PG-rated Kung Fu Panda 2 finds Dragon Warrior panda Po (Black) leading his friends and fellow kung fu masters, The Furious Five, on a mission to defeat a powerful old enemy who wields a lethal new weapon.
The film, which grossed $165 million during its wide release to U.S. theaters in the summer of 2011, is available as part of Kung Fu Panda 2 Awesome Packs. They feature the exclusive debut of the new Po adventure Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters plus two free memberships to the online game universe Kung Fu Panda World. The film also is available as a single-disc DVD.
The new short film Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters finds Po and the Furious Five uncovering the legend of three of kung fu’s greatest heroes: Master Thundering Rhino, Master Storming Ox and Master Croc.
