Voice Compare: Kung Fu Panda - Po | Behind The Voice Actors Jack Black EDITOR'S OPINION Alright folks the first Kung Fu Panda VC shall be for none other than the leading panda himself... PO! Let us begin! Jack Black - Jack maybe typecast-ed as a big loud lovable oaf especially in his screen acting roles but his voice work as Po is a fine reason why he is known for doing these roles rather well. Jack's performance for the role definitely suits Po's various comedic moments and his various serious moments as well and is a fine example of the voice work in the movies. Mick Wingert - Mick's work on the role is one of the most impressive cases of "Stand-in" performances I have ever heard as Mick definitely sounds a lot like Jack Black. Mick's performance was also very good as it suited Po's "Lovable Oaf" persona very well and is a fine example of the voice work in the show. Eric Loomis - This is another pleasant surprise as this is another fine example of a "Stand-in" performance as Eric also did a fine job in sounding like Jack Black.

As for Eric's performance it was also pretty good as it does suit Po's "Lovable Oaf" persona rather well and its another fine example of how good Eric's Vocal Mimicry skills can be. Overall I am going with a tie as while Jack Black is great in the role, Mick and Eric do exceptionally well in mimicking him.

Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality?

Po puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.

See more » Connections (New Zealand) – See all my reviews I saw this movie in the Cinema last night. I can not recommend this movie highly enough to kids of all ages. it is a long, long time since i have heard a Cinema audience laughing so much during a movie ( i think the last time was during Gigli!). Finally Dreamworks have managed to surpass the achievements of Pixar. All the elements are beyond anything i have seen in an Animated movie since The Lion King. the animation is hugely detailed and achingly beautiful, the script is the best i have come across in years. the only bum note in this symphony of fun is the fact that some of the immensely talented voice cast are badly underused. i can only remember hearing Jackie Chan's voice 3 times at most. having said that, the movie rests on the shoulders of jack Black and Dustin Hoffman. while playing their parts in a very different manner to each other, both are note perfect.

they invest their characters with an energy (Black) and dignity (hoffman) that i could not find any fault with, even if i wanted to, not that i want to. Lastly, i believe that Oogway is the best animated character ever rendered, his facial expressions are hilarious and-surpass any previous attempts to give a character convincing facial expressions (i consider Gollum to be a CG character, not an animated character, for the record). in short, this is an utterly fantastic movie that everyone should watch 9/10 76 of 89 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes Who Are the Most Memorable Kung Fu Panda Characters? Who Are the Most Memorable Kung Fu Panda Characters? The Five Best Characters from the DreamWorks Animated Series By David Nusair Updated August 19, 2016. Like many of DreamWorks Animation ’s movies, the Kung Fu Panda series is filled with a number of thoroughly memorable figures. The filmmakers have done a superb job of peppering the three Kung Fu Panda movies with one indelible character after another.

The following five stand as the best of the best in the Kung Fu Panda series: DreamWorks Animation 1. Po (Jack Black) As the star of the Kung Fu Panda series, Po is automatically the most obvious choice for the number one pick on this list. But even if he had only made a cameo appearance in either Kung Fu Panda or Kung Fu Panda 2, Po would still be a strong contender for the number one pick here. The character is instantly established as a charming, unique, and thoroughly lovable figure that the viewer can’t help but root for. Jack Black ’s pitch-perfect voice work as Po is certainly a big part of what makes the character so great, with the actor’s boundlessly enthusiastic performance ranking right up there with the best that modern animation has to offer. Memorable Line: “I’m not a big, fat panda. I’m the big, fat panda!” continue reading below our video What Do Movie Ratings Mean? DreamWorks Animation 2. Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) In the first Kung Fu Panda , Master Shifu ( Dustin Hoffman ) makes no secret of his reluctance to train Po in the ways of kung fu.

But as the series has progressed, Po has managed to win over Shifu with his combination of hard work and high enthusiasm. The relationship between Shifu and Po ultimately goes from teacher/student to father/son. Hoffman hasn’t done much voice work in his career, which is certainly a shame since the actor does a stellar job of stepping into the shoes of this quick-tempered, yet fair-minded, red panda. Memorable Line: “Well done, students… if you were trying to disappoint me!” DreamWorks Animation 3. Lord Shen (Gary Oldman) Though Kung Fu Panda’s Tai Lung ( Ian McShane ) is indeed a very formidable and terrifying villain, Kung Fu Panda 2’s Lord Shen manages to edge him out by a very small margin due primarily to Gary Oldman ’s creepy voice work as the character. Oldman brings his notorious intensity to animation with impressive ease, and the actor does a superb job of infusing even the simplest of lines with a menacing edge that effectively heightens Lord Shen’s intimidating presence. Of course, as we learn late in the movie, Po has his own personal reasons for wanting to see Lord Shen vanquished.

Memorable Line: “The only reason you’re still alive is that I find your stupidity mildly amusing.” DreamWorks Animation 4. Mr. Ping (James Hong) Mr. Ping ( James Hong ) is a Swan Goose that has raised Po since he was just a baby panda, while at the same time operating what is clearly the most successful noodle shop in all of the Valley of Peace. When we first meet him, Mr. Ping is clearly hoping that Po will one day be ready to run the shop by himself – though it inevitably becomes clear that greater things are in store for Mr. Ping’s beloved son. In Kung Fu Panda 2 , Mr. Ping has clearly embraced Po’s place as the Dragon Warrior and is essentially portrayed as his son’s most loyal and enthusiastic fan. Memorable Line: “We are noodle folk. Broth runs through our veins.” DreamWorks Animation 5. Tigress (Angelina Jolie) After Oogway names Po the Dragon Warrior in the first Kung Fu Panda, Tigress ( Angelina Jolie ) makes no secret of her displeasure and initially resents Po for taking away the title that she believes rightly belongs to her.

As the film progresses, however, Tigress begins to respect Po and the two are shown to be close friends in Kung Fu Panda 2 . Jolie does a superb job of portraying an extremely complex character, as the actress delivers a voice performance that is, at times, both fierce and nurturing. Memorable Line: “No, I mean you don't belong in the Jade Palace. You're a disgrace to kung fu, and if you have any respect for what we are and what we do, you'll be gone by morning.” Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness Fan Reviews & Ratings - TV.com Didn't do good as the movies did. 6.5 By DreadAngelus , Dec 04, 2013 Yeah, it's a little bad that this didn't go that good. Plot: Po, a Dragon Warrior, stands out to protect the city along with the Furious Five. Consisting of Tigress, Snake, Monkey, Crane and Mantis. They face alot of evil bad guys that gives problems on the living folks. Well, Po, has a problem of his own because of his shape. Characters: They are more straightforward, unlike in the movies, they have a full personality.

This is going to end up like Spongebob Squarepants. Voice acting is good job for Tigress and Po, they sounded like the original, I don't know about Monkey, because he doesn't speak that much in here. And the other three in the Furious Five, won't be an issue because their voices changed in the sequel. Humor: Now it's mostly aimed at Po's weight and shape. And his mistakes. They could add a new material, or this will turn just like Spongebob nowadays. Art: The animation quality reduced a little, but their designs are still left untouched. Overall: 6.5. They are at risk in here, they need to improve this show fast. DO YOU AGREE? 10 By disturbia1910 , Aug 22, 2013 This is one of the best shows on Nick. In fact, its one of the only good shows left! First of all the voice actors ROCK, with Mick Wingert sounding EXACTLY like Jack Black from the movies!

All the voices fit well- Mantis and Crane sound good, Viper and Po's dad (who's name slips my mind at the moment) are voiced by the same people who voiced them in the movies, which is cool. Shi-fu's voice is ok, but he doesn't sound much like Dustin Hoffman, but whatever. The show is hilarious, great action and big laughs, I love it as much as the movie itself! DO YOU AGREE? 6.0 By ScottMartinez , Jun 30, 2013 It could be a lot worse, but it stretches the story too far than it needs to be. Some of the voice acting sounds very good, some of the impressions are very unremarkable. The animation for television terms is good, but everything else is a big mix. I like some of the action and comedy, but its not at all of the levels of the past 2 films, and one really strange thing I find from this show is that its really hard to tell when it takes place. Does it take place after the first 2 films or between them?

If its between then it makes a bit less annoyed, but if it actually takes place after the 2nd film, I'd be pretty to see these silly stories occuring after such an intense story for Po. Its hard for me to like this show, but there's more good than bad in this show, just not enough. DO YOU AGREE? *Sigh* I'm getting kinda tired of Nick not thinking of their own ideas nowadays 6.5 By PIGGYDOOM , Feb 24, 2013 Like Planet Sheen, I was actually looking forward to seeing Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. Though unlike Planet Sheen (Which is god awful), Its not bad, but its not good either. Its okay actually. I love the Penguins of Madagascar, but this show not so much. Kung Fu Panda: Legands of Awesomeness is a show based on The Kung Fu Panda Movies (Which were Awesome). First of all let's get started with the animation, It feels a little stiff most of the time. And its too smooth unlike the movie.

I've noticed that when Dreamworks makes cartoons for Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network (I'm serious there's a How to Train your Dragon show now on that channel). Ever since Tak and the Power of JuJu came in 2007 nick has been the most desperate channel on television now. Anyways back to the animation. It feels stiff most of the time. The Movie's animation was perfect. And if this were the movies (Both 1 and 2), It would give it either a 9.5 or 10. Now the acting, It sounds the same which is a good thing about it, though Po sounds a tiny bit different than in the movies. Sadly, I looked up all the characters are not played by their original voice actors! Jack Black (Love that guy) doesn't even play Po! Seriously? The acting would be better if the original voice actors playing these characters were here! The Plots are the best thing about the show. I doubt they're gonna make any more movies if they use up so many ideas on the show. But the plots are the only creative thing about the show I must say. Though they mostly have to do with curses, feelings, and stuff like that.

But the movies did the same thing too, but in a better way. The humor is alright though. Po's obsession with pudding is half funny and half lame. It doesn't feel that original really, and some of the jokes can be kinda immature. Overall, This show is alright, not bad, but not good either. Its entertaining though, and it is fun to watch :) Though I read online that Nick is thinking about making a Monsters vs. Aliens show in 2013. Which I hope doesn't happen. I your a fan, go watch it, everyone else, watch the movies instead! DO YOU AGREE? It Could be Better but Its Not So bad 6.5 By Soccerbri , Sep 22, 2012 The character's are much werider than the movies. The movies were at least were a 8.5/9/10 so it was pretty good. It could have been better. I am very annoyed about the humor that is why I rated it a 6.5. If they stop saying awesome or awesomeness or the other ones. Its annoying. I can see they were acutally trying so I'll give them that.

Sometimes I like watching it but if the humor and jokes changed I would enjoy this show much more. I think if they fix that they might get better reveiws. Oh well when I said the characters are changing they act differently then the movies If there more like they were in the movies it would be a better show. Anyways Po has GOTTA stop saying awesome an craving dumplings! Fix that to and maybe this show might be a AWESOME show. Oops, I said awesome, cool, there thats better. Overall it needs some work but its okay.....for now. DO YOU AGREE? 1.0 By timtoiletpaper , Nov 28, 2011 Disappointing. As a fan of the Kung Fu Panda Movies I was extremely disappointed in the lack of effort, too many fat jokes, crappy plot etc. Po (Mick Wingert), who is the Dragon Warrior and still a child at heart, and the Furious Five ( Kari Wahlgren , James Sie, Max Koch, Lucy Liu , Amir Talai ) defend the Valley of Peace from villains of different kinds. As you can see there was some cast changes. Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, David Cross.

The guy who does the voice of Po must be a Jack Black impersonator. DO YOU AGREE? While not being a big fan of the movies, this didn't really show any significant improvement. 5.0 By jmbsonic555 , Nov 14, 2011 Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness is an American cartoon based on the Kung Fu Panda films. The series was originally set to air on Nickelodean in 2010, but was pushed back to 2011. A total of 52 episodes have been produced or ordered. Two special previews were aired on September 19 and October 21. It premiered on November 7, 2011. As I thought this show looked promising, I thought wrong,while it has its chuckles, I wouldn't call it a great cartoon, I will give it a chance, but as of now, it will get a 5 out of 10 Kung Fu Panda - Movies & TV on Google Play Kung Fu Panda Item added to wishlist.

Perhaps it's just that we haven't seen this vintage, Far East world in a computer-animated movie before. Bruce Diones The animation work is dazzling; it's lovingly detailed without being overdone (particularly the opening sequence, which is hand-drawn and looks like prints struck from ancient woodblocks).

Tom Huddleston As the credits roll, the film's many flaws come sharply into focus. But while it lasts, Kung-Fu Panda is something of a guilty treat. Joe Williams Manages to entertain and dazzle, and parents won't beat themselves up for sitting through it, although what it teaches could fit on a fortune cookie. Andrea Gronvall Hands down the most visually striking of DreamWorks Animation's releases, this lively CGI comedy is tailor-made for Jack Black. Amy Biancolli The aphorisms creak.

User reviews Dan Parr April 5, 2016 A family film gone RIGHT The filmmakers clearly knew how to make a amazing family film. They show you Jack Black as a bumbling, yet likeable character. The voice acting is very good and Ti Lung is a worthy foe. My favourite furious five member is monkey as he is Rough and Tough. Perfect mix of Emotion, Witty Humour, character development and of course: Kung Fu Fighting!

Lolllllll! Full Review Kiana Gaines February 12, 2015 Has any one noticed one of the eyes? :/ Has anyone noticed but ME that if u look closely u can see that po the panda has two different kinds of eyes? One is green and the other is blue it creeps me out every time it zooms up on his face :0 Full Review Charles Harold September 1, 2015 Well... I put in my code for its digital copy (its in my purchase history) will not allow me to view without re purchase. I've sent 2 emails asking for help and no response. Full Review Kenneth Chisholm January 8, 2017 This film showed American film what furry fantasy can be; this is a wonderful action-comedy that honors the best of Wuxia action. The Chinese certainly agreed with official government meetings exploring how Americans can emulate their own heritage with such understanding and fidelity. For the rest of us, this film has humour, dramatic power and exhilarating action with a stellar cast such Dustin Hoffman,who oddly paralleled his own character with the valuable mentorship he gave to film lead, Jack Black to improve his acting.

To watch this is to see Dreamworks Animation at the beginning of its creative glory years that ensure the Animated feature film field would keep open for all for good. Full Review Shawn McC June 10, 2016 Good movie 3/5it made me cry not of anything in it but when po banished ti lung it made me think about death Full Review Aseta Royal April 2, 2016 Great Message This film has a great message. Sometimes the least likely person can be a hero and great. It also teaches everyone learns their own way for example po learned through food and 1 on 1 learning while tai lung learned through constant studying and training going by the books. Maybe we should try to learn from this more and find more adapt ways of teaching people. That is really what I wanted to point out. Full Review Ahmad Whitmire February 13, 2016 This is a masterpiece I remember when I was 12 years old and I went to the Theatres to see this film and I loved it. the film had beautiful animation,wonderful voice acting, and a nice mix of action and comedy.

No movie mixes emotion, comedy and action together like all of the Po movies. Love the morals of the stories and the timing for the jokes. Everything is perfectly coordinating and beautifully meshed together in one great panda!!! Cant ask for a better movie, these are my favorite's. Good for kids but adults will easily get as entertained!

Long before the part 2 and 3, this has always been one of my favorite movies. There is the feel good story about someone who against all odds becomes great at something that someone knew he was talented at way before he knew it himself. The battle sequences are beautifully choreographed keeping the identity of the character unique from beginning to end. Great movie!

Horrified at this atrocity, Shen's parents exiled him. Feeling abandoned and betrayed, Shen vowed he would return one day to rule supreme. Po and the Five arriving in the Musicians' Village to battle the invading wolves Over twenty years later, Master Po is now living his dream as the Dragon Warrior , protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters, the Furious Five .

However, Master Shifu 's lesson to further Po's training to help him pursue inner peace is interrupted by a raid by wolves seeking all the refined metal they can steal from a village of musicians . Po and the Five arrive to stop them, but the wolves get away when Po is distracted by the sight of a symbol on the lead wolf 's armor that triggers a flashback of his mother . Po asks his father where he came from, but all the goose can tell him is that he found Po as an infant in a vegetable crate behind his restaurant and adopted him. Po and the Five preparing to infiltrate Gongmen City Afterward, Master Shifu receives word that Master Thundering Rhino , leader of the Kung Fu Council protecting Gongmen City, has been killed by Shen's new weapon , which threatens to destroy kung fu tradition. Po and the Furious Five are sent to stop him, but the journey is complicated by Po's troubling nightmares that he feels he cannot share completely with anyone, even with Tigress , whom he is growing increasingly close to.

When they reach the city, Po and the Five find it completely under the control of Shen's forces and try to stealthily reach Masters Storming Ox and Croc in the prison in order to get their help to liberate the city. Unfortunately, both masters inexplicably refuse to leave their cell, citing their helplessness against Lord Shen's weapon, forcing Po and the Five to make the attempt alone. Po and the Five are then discovered by the wolf leader, who they chase to prevent him from alerting Shen, only to be ambushed by a massive force. Po surrenders, and the group is arrested. Tigress questions Po, but assures her that he is formulating a plan. Lord Shen holding Po at knife-point Placed in restraints, they are brought before Lord Shen in his tower . The emperor peacock refuses to believe that a goofy panda could possibly threaten him, while the Soothsayer realizes Po has no knowledge of what the peacock did to his people. As per their plan, Po and the Five free themselves and destroy the peacock's large cannon. Unfortunately, Po is again distracted by flashbacks upon seeing the same symbol as before on Shen's plumage, allowing the peacock to escape.

The heroes discover, to their horror, that Shen has built a whole arsenal of cannons and they barely escape the tower while Shen destroys it with a salvo attack. Hiding in the prison, Tigress demands to know why Po froze and says the Five will leave him behind if he can't be counted on in battle. The panda at first refuses to confess about his flashbacks, but ultimately relents and tells her that Shen knows what happened to his parents. He says that Tigress probably can't understand, but that he has to know the answer and will confront Shen with or without the Five. Tigress then suddenly hugs Po, much to the surprise of everyone else, and tells him that she does understand, but can't watch her friend die. She tells him to remain with Masters Storming Ox and Croc for his own protection while she and the others attempt to stop Shen's cannons at the source. Po confronting Shen in the factory Still determined to find out what Shen knows, Po ignores Tigress and decides to break into the cannon foundry to question Shen himself about his memories, inadvertently foiling the Five's attempt to destroy it.

In the ensuing battle, Po faces Shen who acknowledges that he was in Po's parents ' village ; he sadistically claims that Po's parents abandoned him before blasting the stunned panda point-blank with a giant cannon. Po rockets out of the factory and plunges into the river to his apparent death. Po being guided by the Soothsayer in recalling his past Wounded and unconsciously floating down the river, Po is still alive when he is rescued by the Soothsayer, who was exiled earlier by Shen. When he regains consciousness, the Soothsayer tells him that he is in the remains of the village where he was born and Po's unconsciously repressed memories fight to come to the surface. Guided by the Soothsayer to embrace the past and let them rise, Po's memories come back as he witnesses the destruction of his village and his mother's flight from Shen's forces. Given the lie of Shen's cruel claim of abandonment, he sees instead that his mother endangered herself to save him by hiding him in the produce crate and drawing the pursuers away, seemingly to her death. Po's memories move to his adoption by the loving Mr.

Ping and how he conquered his deep insecurities to achieve his most cherished dreams with help of his new friends, the Masters. At that, Po comes to realize that his past does not define him as much as his present choices, allowing him to attain a measure of inner peace even while he prepares to return to Gongmen City to confront the murdering peacock. Po facing Lord Shen 's fleet in the city harbor In the city, Lord Shen captures the Five trying to stop his war fleet from departing and prepares to kill them as an example of his power as soon as his ships clear the city harbor . However, Po arrives to confront Shen and manages to free the Five, beginning a massive battle to blow up Shen's ship before it reaches the harbor that soon includes Master Shifu who also convinced Masters Storming Ox and Croc to participate. The attempt to stop the fleet fails and the heroes are left floating in the bay amongst the wreckage. Regardless, Po, finding footing on a floating piece of shattered timber, stands his ground against Shen and astounds everyone when he gauges Shen's cannon fire and redirects it back at his armada. In doing so, Po devastates the fleet and his cannons through kung fu alone and confronts Shen on his damaged flagship.

There, Po rejects that his horrific past dominates his spirit and urges Shen to come to terms with his own grievance with his parents. However, Shen refuses the entreaty and hatefully attacks the Dragon Warrior. In the melee, Shen unintentionally slashes the ropes holding up his cannon, which then falls and crushes him. Po soon reunites with the other Masters and the city celebrates Po's victory with fireworks. Fred Tatasciore as Panda Dad , a giant panda and Po's biological father Production The following October after the first film 's release in June 2008, DreamWorks Animation announced plans for a second film. [8] 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 DWA films beginning 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 movie, returned to write and co-produce the sequel, [9] with Charlie Kaufman consulting [10] [11] on the screenplay early on in the development process. [12] 01:49 Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) - Featurette Animating Pandas Film featurette spotlighting the crew's trip to China 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 the "panda hometown". [13] In addition to seeing real pandas, crew members learned about the local culture. Katzenberg has stated that Kung Fu Panda 2 incorporates many elements of Chengdu in the film. [14] The film's landscape and architecture also found inspiration from those found at Mount Qingcheng , a renowned Taoist mountain.

[15] 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." [16] Marketing First official teaser poster for the film The first official teaser trailer was shown with both 2D and 3D versions of Megamind , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 , Tangled , and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never . The trailer was then released on the Internet on November 8, 2010, and was eventually featured on the Megamind DVD. On December 30, 2010, DreamWorks released the first television spot for the movie. Another television spot was released first on the Internet February 1, 2011, and then was featured during the pre-game hours of the Super Bowl XLV on February 6. [17] Reception Critical Kung Fu Panda 2 received positive reviews, with critics praising its animation, voice acting, and character development.

It was also a commercial success surpassing the original film and, like the original film, was the highest grossing animated feature film of the year. As of 2012, it is the highest-grossing film directed by a woman. [26] The film received a "Certified Fresh" score of 81% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes , based on reviews from 167 critics and a rating average of 6.9 out of 10, with the consensus being that "[t]he 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." [27] It also received a weighted average score of 67 out of 100 at Metacritic , based on 31 reviews from mainstream critics. [28] Variety called the film "a worthy sequel that gets an extra kick from the addition of dynamic 3D fight sequences" [29] while The Hollywood Reporter similarly praised the film.

[30] 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. [31] Some critics noted the influences of executive producer Guillermo del Toro 's works in the film's darker themes, [32] and Jim Tudor of Twitch Film 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." [33] 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." [34] Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times writes that "Panda 2 is not just wall-to-wall animation, it is artistry of the highest order." [35] Many critics have praised Gary Oldman for his voice acting and developed characterization of main antagonist Lord Shen , with some comparing him favorably to Ian McShane 's voice performance as Tai Lung in the original film .

Angie Errigo of Empire Magazine described Oldman as "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." [36] Jason Best of What's on TV writes, "Following Ian McShane from the first film as the obligatory British thespian to fill the role of villain, Gary Oldman brings silky menace to the part of the evil Shen." [37] Kyle Smith of the New York Post also writes, "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." [38] Box office The film grossed $165,249,063 in the North America, along with $500,443,218 in other territories for a worldwide total of $665,692,281, surpassing the original Kung Fu Panda during late-August 2011 but the domestic gross didn't surpass the original.

[4] In total, 3D contributed approximately 53% of the film's worldwide gross. [39] Worldwide, it is the highest-grossing 2011 animated film and the sixth highest-grossing film of 2011. [40] Overall, it is the 14th highest-grossing animated film and the 69th highest-grossing film. [41] On its first weekend, it earned $108.9 million worldwide, ranking third behind Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and The Hangover Part II . [42] On August 30, 2011, Kung Fu Panda 2 surpassed Mamma Mia! 's worldwide box-office total of $609.8 million to become the highest-grossing film ever directed by a woman.

[26] The film also helped DreamWorks Animation raise its second quarter revenue of $218.3 million and a profit of $34.1 million for the three-month period that ended June 30, 2011, which was an improvement over the same period a year ago when the company posted revenue of $158.1 million and a $24 million profit. [43] In North America In the United States and Canada, Kung Fu Panda 2 earned $5.8 million on its opening day (Thursday, May 26, 2011), ranking second behind The Hangover: Part II. [44] On the following Friday, the film earned $13.1 million, which was behind the original 's $20.3 million opening Friday. [45] Over the three-day weekend (Friday-to-Sunday), the film earned $47.7 million, which was behind the first movie's $60.2 million start. [46] The film went on to make $13.2 million on Memorial Day , bringing its four-day weekend total to $60.9 million.

[47] Overall, the film made $66.7 million in its first five days, but it still trailed behind the original film's five day opening of $72.6 million. [48] Altogether, Panda 2 earned the same amount of money in five days as the original Panda did in four. However, the opening still came in at the high end of DreamWorks Animation 's expectations. [49] It also had the sixth highest opening weekend for a film that did not debut at #1. [50] Although Kung Fu Panda 2 has outgrossed some of DreamWorks Animation's previous films like Shark Tale , Over the Hedge , Megamind , and Bee Movie in North America, it has not performed as well as some people expected. [51] [52] Reasons cited for this relative under-performance of the film in the US and Canada included inadequate marketing by DreamWorks Animation as noted by analyst Tony Wible of Janney Capital Markets prior to release who observed the film was tracking poorly online compared to its predecessor.

[51] Another reason cited after release was a growing American and Canadian marketplace rejection of 3D presentation with its coupled surcharge in movie ticket prices apparently making the film too expensive for many film patrons. As a result, only 45% of the premiere weekend box office earnings of the film's came from screenings in the 3D presentation format as opposed to 60% for Shrek Forever After in 2010. [53] DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg also attributed to the film's under-performance in these territories for being released the same weekend as The Hangover Part II, a film that an unexpectedly large number of people went to see. [52] International The film proved a major international success, pulling in $55.5 million on the same weekend as its North American debut, topping the box office in nine out of eleven countries in which it was released. It ranked third overall behind Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and The Hangover: Part II. It reached number one at the overseas box office on its third weekend, opening at number one in of each of its 17 territorial premieres, including the United Kingdom, Mexico and Brazil.

[54] It retained first place overseas on the following weekend with $58.2 million, opening at number one in a few more territories including Germany, France, and Spain and holding well in markets like Mexico. [55] In Asia The film had exceptional earnings in Asian territories. In China, its highest-grossing market after North America, it had a $19.3 million two-day weekend, setting a new record for a Saturday opening day and a record for a two-day opening weekend in the country. [56] It earned $91,531,119 by July 6, 2011, making it the highest-grossing animated movie of all time in the country, surpassing previous record-holder Kung Fu Panda ($26,024,298). [57] In Malaysia, it scored the largest opening weekend of all time for an animated movie ($1,663,199) and became the highest-grossing animated movie of all time, surpassing Tangled ($3 million) by its second weekend.

[58] In the Philippines the film earned $1,958,888 on its opening, the largest for an animated title. It became the highest-grossing animated title, surpassing Toy Story 3 ($3.4 million) by its second weekend. [59] In Singapore, with $2,627,425, it made the largest opening weekend of all time. Surpassing the original Kung Fu Panda ($4.3 million) by its second weekend, it became the largest animated feature of all time in the country. [60] In South Korea, it earned $12,802,267 upon release, scoring the fourth largest opening weekend of all time and the biggest for animated title. [61] In Thailand, it made the largest opening for an animation movie ($950,590) and became the highest-grossing animated film of all time in total earnings as well. Both records were taken from Toy Story 3.

[62] In Vietnam, it made two records of being the highest-grossing film ever ($2,287,299) [63] and making the hugest opening with $1 million in its first five days, surpassing Avatar . [64] Accolades On May 23, 2011, THQ released a video game based on the movie. [65] The game is available for four main platforms: PlayStation 3 , Xbox 360 Kinect , uDraw feature for the Wii , and Nintendo DS . Prequel A 52-paged comic book prequel to the film was released by Ape Entertainment on April 26, 2011. The book features four different stories, which take place sometime before the events of Kung Fu Panda 2. [66] Sequel Main article: Kung Fu Panda 3 A third film is currently scheduled for release on January 29, 2016. [67] It is directed again by Jennifer Yuh Nelson [68] with the added assistance of co-director Alessandro Carloni, [69] and is produced in co-production with Oriental DreamWorks .

[70] In addition, according to Jeffrey Katzenberg , there are more Kung Fu Panda sequels planned, with a possibility of six films total. [71] Trivia General Jack Black , the voice of Po , first announced a Kung Fu Panda sequel during the 2009 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards , saying he promised that he would try his hardest to make Kung Fu Panda 2 "more awesome than the first one." The film was a sponsor for the 2011 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on April 2, 2011, with Jack Black hosting the event and features of short appearances by Po. It was the first Kung Fu Panda film to be released in 3D using digital stereoscopic projection technology . It is the the first DreamWorks Animation film to be solely directed by a woman. [72] In development The film was originally going to be called Kung Fu Panda 2: Pandamonium, which then changed to Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom before sticking with its current simplistic name.

[73] Charlie Kaufman —screenwriter of movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , Confessions of a Dangerous Mind , and Being John Malkovich —assisted in polishing the movie's script. [1] The fight in the Artisan Village mirrors many of the same movements that were in Po 's dream in the first film . The cast was reported to include a character named Master Skunkman voiced by James Woods , but this character was scrapped for unknown reasons. [74] During development for the first film, Po's final training "test" was to catch a droplet of water growing from a mystical root found in a sacred chamber underneath the Jade Palace . [75] This idea was later cut during production, but made its way into the second film as a test of inner peace . The Easter egg wok on the conveyor belt As an Easter egg for the film, the wok that Tai Lung was hit with by Po in the first film was briefly seen on the conveyor belt in the Fireworks Factory . The film used over 99 terabytes of data and took more than 55 million render hours to make.

[76] In popular culture Characters from the film were parodied in an episode of MAD entitled "Kung Fu Blander". Gallery
