There's not an official Kung Fu Panda 2 thread running? Hmm. I find that kind of odd.

Anyway, your local Dreamworks guy is back again with the new Super Bowl trailer for the film.



It's just a teaser. Nothing is really revealed here that isn't already known. But there's new footage here, so I thought it was at least worth a mention.

I think it looks like it'll be fun. I'm looking forward to DW releases more and more these days.

I do think there should be a ban on the use of We Will Rock you in popular media. Just for a few years anyway.

... Ouch. Didn't see that pun coming.
Never much cared for Queen music myself. But it's not the most overused song in movie trailers, really.

Great action, though. I'm hyped indeed!
 
A bit better than the previous trailer. At least this one has some action in it.

Then again poor trailers are part of DW's repertoire.
 
Actually, the music was a highlight, only because it wasn't that kung fu fighting song. Other hightlights? Tigress in general, and Monkey actually saying something? Other than that? This trailer was bad. Really, just bad. Not funny at all, and even the glimpse of what seems to be a big action scene (the falling tower) just looking like nothing special. Barely a glimpse of the new characters and villain, and not a line from any of them. This definitely smells like sequel syndrome to me.
 
I liked the action in this new trailer as well. It's also nice that some of the Furious Five, especially Tigress who I thought was pretty interesting when I saw the first movie, doing something and I kind of liked the design for the wolfs. Although, they almost look more like badgers, but maybe that was because of the armor. I didn't laugh either, but I don't remember laughing when I watched the movie before, despite being played over and over again on Thanksgiving day last year. It was a fun action knug fu movie, but I'm not sure if I'll go to theaters to watch this. This feels a bit more like something I'd watch when it comes to DVD or on TV, but I could change my mind when there's more information and images from the movie released.
 
Oh yah! This movie is gonna be fun.

I thought the first one was real funny. I actually didn't expect it to be that good.

Panda 2 does look like it is also going to be filled with some major funny moments.
 
I don't think so. Their bodies seem natural, just covered in bandages. Personally, I think the designs are okay (I despise the pointed noses), but they look more like weasels. Would've been nice to see an animal used that's not a stereotypical henchman; I liked the vast array of animals used in the original. However, the peacock villain makes up for it, unless he turns out to be a terrible character.

The visuals were pretty and it does have a chance of being a nice sequel. Unfortunately, there is also a chance that it will flop (as a film, not as a box office success). I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
 
Hi, new member here!

With the higher ups on the Kung Fu Panda 2’s production team saying this sequel will be more “emotional” than its predecessor, possibly touching on Po’s early life and other “rough” subjects, I can’t see wait to see what we’re all in store for.

In the meantime, I’ll pick the trailer apart since I wasn’t fortunate enough to snag a 45 minute pre-screening…

(0:06) The first scene shown (however brief) is an interesting one, considering the sequel’s villain is previously noted on the Dreamworks website to be equipped with lethal claws. Seeing Po in bandages certainly brings up some questions.

(0:10-0:18) The next batch of clips dealing with Po and Five is great to watch. Finally, we get to see Po in action beside them. These scenes remind me of the original’s stylized introduction, almost blow for blow. I like how there’s also a hint in the trailer of what we may get as a soundtrack item in the actual film… (0:15) look closely, is that a rabbit with a string instrument strumming in the background?

(0:27-0:55) Nice to catch a glimpse of Shen and the new masters we’ll be seeing. Their designs are slick— detailed but not burdened. Props to Nicholas Marlet on more great work in the art department!
When Shifu reveals to Po his next task is to “take the five”, I can’t help but wonder (excitedly) that they'll enjoy some well needed character development. And, while I don’t believe either will be entirely “written out”, it’s probably safe to assume Shifu will remain in the Valley and Po’s father in the noodle shop for the duration. Perhaps the family history reveal for Po will make up for his father’s absence and the new masters for Shifu’s…

(1:02 + 1:06) Tigress smiling and reaching out. It’s nice to see what may be some warmer feelings between these two, especially since Po idolized her in the previous film. Huh, Crane may be the only one noticing (1:06).

In the clips that follow: nice sight gag, Monkey actually speaking, and (I agree) Tigress being her fiery, awesome self is most welcome.

(1:32) This scene and the moments prior are what I’m looking forward to the most. Hands down. For maximum effect I think the trailer should have ended here, seeing all the gags that follow… it was like Dreamworks was trying to reassure the audience that this movie is still “gonna be sidesplitting-funneh!” in spite of all the seriousness hinted at just a few moments before. And I trust the Black Eyes Peas won’t be in the final cut. Dreamworks almost always pulls pop songs for their commercials rather than playing up standard movie-commercial or actual movie-score music. Most recent offender: Puss in Boots.

Overall, I’m excited by what I saw, but only time will tell. I really hope this is a worthy sequel coming down the pipe!
