By day, Po the panda works in his family's noodle shop . . . but by night, Po dreams of kung fu greatness. One day Po is chosen to train alongside his kung fu idols, the Furious Five and Master Shifu. Arriving at the palace, Po refuses to leave his chopsticks at the door and learns how to meld his love of the culinary arts with martial arts. He proves that he really is the chosen Dragon Warrior after all!
DreamWorks Animation and Insight Editions presents "The Art of Kung Fu Panda 2"; the book that takes readers behind-the-scenes of the animated martial arts mega-sequel. As the recently anointed Dragon Warrior, Po the Panda (Jack Black) is living his dream as the champion of the Valley of Peace. But Po's serenity is disrupted when the malevolent Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), an epically evil warlord, threatens to destroy all of China by creating an unstoppable weapon that promises to supplant kung fu. With every conquest, Shen's ambition, cruelty, and lust for power grow, forcing Po and The Furious Five to confront their most powerful enemy ever, or else witness the destruction of their homeland and the tradition of kung fu. Included in this tome of production artwork are designs for Baby Po, Po's parents, the sharp-taloned peacock Shen, the warlord's fearsome wolf mercenaries, as well as Po's new allies--Master Croc (Jean-Claude Van Dam), Master Skunkman (James Woods), and Master Thundering Rhino (Victor Garber). Also included are the epic environments Po, Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey, must venture through on their epic quest to confront the evil Lord Shen and save kung fu. With new friends, Po's strength has never been greater. But how can he stop a weapon that can stop kung fu? Po must look deep into his past and uncover the secrets of his mysterious origins; only then will he be able to unlock the strength he needs to succeed.
When Po's panda dad, Li Shan, invites him to visit the secret Panda Village, he learns the true meaning of family and friendship along the way. Fans of the film will love this funny and touching retelling of the movie.
The Furious Five, the best kung fu artists in the land, face an uphill challenge as they try to train Po, a clumsy, chubby panda who has been chosen as the Dragon Warrior, in this book that includes twenty different sound effects.
