It looks like the animated treat known as Kung Fu Panda will be getting a remake. We get wind of this picture from our friends at slashfilm:
Kung Fu Panda was the first non-Pixar computer animated film that I really enjoyed. When I saw the film a few months back, I said to one of my friends “This is gonna be huge, lets hope they don’t f**k it up by making a sequel.” Well guess what… A story crew has already begun early work on a Sequel, according to a posting on the TAG Blog. The original film has garnered great reviews across the board and made over $229.7 million worldwide in its first 19 days of release.
Many people are telling me to get out and catch this before it leaves the theaters. Apparently the animation is second to none and the physical humor is fantastique! For a cartoon to be able to make you laugh without words is quite an accomplishment and a testament to the talent of the animators.
It sucks that every film that’ s successful these days seems to be getting a sequel. That being said, Kung Fu films lend themselves to sequles very well. A student may avenge his master, or a mook may return to even the score. Whatever the reason, there are enough to find when you are looking for an excuse to execute violence on the screen!
International Friends – would you welcome a sequel to this film or should they leave it be?
