After discovering from the court 's goat soothsayer that `` a warrior of black - and - white '' will defeat him if he does not change his ways, Shen leads an army of wolves to exterminate the panda population to avert the prophecy. Shen 's parents are horrified at this atrocity and exile their son, who swears revenge. Decades later, Po is living his dream as the Dragon Warrior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters, the Furious Five. His teacher Shifu tells him, however, that he has yet to achieve inner peace. While defending a village from wolf bandits who have been stealing refined metal for Shen, Po is distracted by a symbol on the wolf leader 's armor, which causes Po to have a flashback of his mother and allows the wolves to escape. Po asks his goose father, Mr. Ping, about his origins. Ping reveals that he found Po as an infant in a radish crate and adopted him, but Po remains unsatisfied, wondering how and why he ended up in the Valley of Peace. Shifu receives word that Shen has returned to Gongmen City and killed Thundering Rhino, the leader of the kung fu council protecting the City, and is plotting to conquer China with his newly developed weapon, a cannon. Shifu sends Po and the Furious Five to Gongmen City to stop Shen and destroy his weapon. They find the city occupied by Shen 's forces, with the two surviving council members Storming Ox and Croc imprisoned. The six heroes ask the council members for help to liberate the city, but the two cite their helplessness against Shen 's weapon and refuse. Po and the Five are discovered by the wolf boss and give chase, only to be arrested in front of Shen 's tower. Upon being brought before Shen in his tower, Po and the Five free themselves and destroy Shen 's weapon. However, Po is again distracted by a flashback upon seeing the same symbol as before on Shen 's plumage, realizing Shen was there the last night Po saw his parents. This allows Shen to escape and destroy the tower with an arsenal of cannons. After Po and the Five escape, Tigress tells Po to stay behind for his own safety. Despite this, Po breaks into the factory to question Shen about his past, inadvertently foiling the Five 's plan to destroy the factory. Shen claims that Po 's parents abandoned him, and then blasts Po out of the factory into a river with a cannon, where he is presumed dead. Po survives and is rescued by the soothsayer, who takes him to the ruins of the nearby village where Po was born. Guided by the soothsayer to embrace his past, Po remembers that when he was an infant, his parents had sacrificed themselves to save him from Shen 's army, his mother hiding him in a radish crate and luring Shen 's forces away from him. Po attains inner peace, realizing that he has lived a happy and fulfilling life despite this early tragedy. Po returns to Gongmen City to save the captive Five and prevent Shen 's conquest of China. A battle ensues between Shen 's armada, sailing in the heart of Gongmen City, and Po and the Five, joined by Shifu, who has persuaded Ox and Croc to help. Po modifies the movements used during his inner peace training to redirect Shen 's cannonballs against his own armada, destroying it. Po then urges Shen to let go of his own past, but Shen attacks Po until Shen slashes the ropes holding up his last cannon, which falls on top of him, crushing him to death while the ship explodes. Victorious, Po returns to the Valley of Peace and reunites with Mr. Ping, lovingly declaring the goose to be his father. At the same time, Po 's birth father is revealed to have survived Shen 's attack and is shown to be living in a far - off, hidden village inhabited by surviving pandas, and senses that his son is still alive.

Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who was head of story for the first film, was hired to direct the sequel. The original film 's cast members reprised their voice roles. Like the other DreamWorks Animation films that began production in 2009, Kung Fu Panda 2 was produced in DreamWorks ' stereoscopic 3 - D technology of InTru 3D. Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, screenwriters and co-producers for the first film, returned to write and co-produce the sequel, with Charlie Kaufman consulting on the screenplay early on in the development process. In Kung Fu Panda 2, the production crew showed increased familiarity with Chinese culture. In 2008, after the release of Kung Fu Panda, DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and other DreamWorks members visited the city of Chengdu, which is considered as the `` panda hometown ''. In addition to seeing real pandas, crew members learned about the local culture. Katzenberg has stated that the sequel incorporates many elements of Chengdu in the film. The film 's landscape and architecture also found inspiration from those found at Mount Qingcheng, a renowned Taoist mountain. In an interview with Movieline, Berger stated that `` we never really thought of this as a movie set in China for Americans ; it 's a movie set in an mythical, universalized China for everyone in the world. '' Release Kung Fu Panda 2 was screened at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival in early May before its commercial release. In the United States, it premiered on May 22, 2011, at Grauman 's Chinese Theatre, in Hollywood, California. The film was widely released in the United States on May 26, 2011, in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2011, and in Australia on June 23, 2011. It was also released in IMAX theaters in the EMEA region. Home media The film was released on DVD and Blu - ray on December 13, 2011, accompanied with the short film Kung Fu Panda : Secrets of the Masters and an episode of the Kung Fu Panda : Legends of Awesomeness television series. Reception Critical reception On the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 81 % based on 167 reviews, and an average rating of 6.9 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` The storyline arc may seem a tad familiar to fans of the original, but Kung Fu Panda 2 offers enough action, comedy, and visual sparkle to compensate. '' On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 67 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. Variety called the film `` a worthy sequel that gets an extra kick from the addition of dynamic 3D fight sequences, '' while The Hollywood Reporter similarly praised the film. Roger Ebert gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, praising the sequel as superior to the original and as an ambitious extension of the previous story. Some critics noted the influences of executive producer Guillermo del Toro 's works in the film 's darker themes, and Jim Tudor of TwitchFilm.net describes that with del Toro on board, the film `` effectively probes deeper into Po 's emerging hero 's journey and personal issues, evoking a truly fulfilling Campbellian archetype, but also remains fully viable as mainstream entertainment suitable for all ages. '' As with the first film, the animation has been praised. Frank Lovece of Film Journal International describes the film as `` truly beautiful to behold '' and states it `` works on both aesthetic and emotional levels ''. Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times writes that `` For Panda 2 is not just wall - to - wall animation, it is artistry of the highest order. '' Many critics praised Gary Oldman for his voice acting and developed characterization of Lord Shen, with some comparing him favorably to Ian McShane 's voice performance as Tai Lung in the original film, with Angie Errigo of Empire Magazine calling him `` fabulous as the feathered fiend and his character animators do his performance proud with a stunning, balletic fighting style, the fan tail flicking with lethal fascination. '' Kyle Smith of the New York Post said, `` It 's a bit hard to be terrified of a peacock ( the snow leopard in the first movie was way more sinister ). But the animators are in charge, and they succeed in dazzling with Lord Shen 's look. '' Box Office The film grossed $165.2 million in the United States and Canada, along with $500.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $665.7 million.
