Don't be a sad panda! Amazon is now taking pre-orders for the hit CGI animated sequel on Blu-ray!
In an early announcement to retailers, DreamWorks has already begun preparations for 'Kung Fu Panda 2' to hit Blu-ray sometime later this year.
In this movie, that lovable Po (voiced by Jack Black) joins forces with a group of new kung-fu masters to take on an old enemy with a deadly new weapon.
The release will also feature an all-new adventure, 'Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters' - Po and the Furious Five uncover the legend of three of kung fu’s greatest heroes: Master Thundering Rhino, Master Storming Ox, and Master Croc.
Specs have yet to be revealed, but the release will be a Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack and other supplements will include: Filmmakers’ Commentary; Sneak peek episode of the upcoming Nickelodeon TV series “Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness” (HD); Meet the Cast (HD); Panda Stories: Inside the World of the Giant Panda (HD); Kung Fu Shuffle (HD); and more!
Blu-ray exclusives include: The Animator's Corner, Trivia Track, and Go With Po (all in HD).
Also in the works seems to be a 'Kung Fu Panda Collection' which will include the original 'Kung Fu Panda' and the sequel.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is set at $49.99 while the double feature is still TBA.
