Kung Fu Panda 1
A clumsy panda bear becomes an unlikely kung fu hero when a treacherous enemy spreads chaos throughout the countryside in this animated martial arts adventure featuring the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, and Jackie Chan. On the surface, Po (voice of Black) may look like just another portly panda bear, but beneath his fur he bears the mark of the chosen one. By day, Po works faithfully in his family's noodle shop, but by night he dreams of becoming a true master of the martial arts. Now an ancient prophecy has come to pass, and Po realizes that he is the only one who can save his people from certain destruction. With time running short and malevolent snow leopard Tai Lung (Ian McShane ) closing in, Furious Five legends Tigress (Jolie), Crane (David Cross ), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), Monkey (Chan), and their wise sensei, Master Shifu (Hoffman), all draw on their vast knowledge of fighting skills in order to transform a lumbering panda bear into a lethal fighting machine. Now, if the noble Po can master the martial arts and somehow transform his greatest weaknesses into his greatest strengths, he will fulfill his destiny as the hero who saved his people during their darkest hour.
Here is the next sequel for Kung Fu Panda...
Po the Panda will continue his journey and hone his skills in kung fu! Dreamworks is indeed planning a movie sequel to Kung Fu Panda! The sequel, titled Kung Fu Panda 2 The Kaboom of Doom, will be directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson: it's her first major movie as director, but she's no newcomer, her years experience in producing animations will guarantee the sequel's quality, besides she was the head of story on the first Kung Fu Panda movie.
Jack Black will of course lend again his voice to Po the panda, and the other members of the voice cast (Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, and David Cross) will most likely reprise their roles too.The release date of Kung Fu Panda has been set for June 3, 2011.
Plot of Kung Fu Panda 2:
"Po is now living his dream as The Dragon Warior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters, The Furious Five – Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey.But Po's new life of awesomeness is threatened by the emergence of a formidable villain, who plans to use a secret, unstoppable weapon to conquer China and destroy kung fu. It is up to Po and The Furious Five to journey across China to face this threat and vanquish it. But how can Po stop a weapon that can stop kung fu? He must look to his past and uncover the secrets of his mysterious origins; only then will he be able to unlock the strength he needs to succeed."
Glad that all our friends will be back for the movie Kung Fu Panda 2! Let's hope there will be as many jokes as in the first one, and with the same quality ofanimation at least!
