The film follows up on the 2008 blockbuster, which became the third biggest movie that year. Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, and Jackie Chan are just some of the voices behind the characters.
During his stay in Chengdu, Zibach also revealed plans for Kungfu Panda 3.
The Dreamwork crew first traveled to Chengdu as early as 2008. They wanted to ensure the setting was depicted accurately. And that trip was when they first met the inspiration for the star of the show.... Po.
