Panda Po back in sequel

The movie: "Kung Fu Panda 2"

When: Opening today at local theaters

Cast: Voices of Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Dustin Hoffman, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, Gary Oldman

Director: Jennifer Yuh

The story: In this sequel to the 2008 animated hit, Panda Po joins forces with a another group of kung-fu masters to take on an old enemy -- with a deadly new weapon.

The buzz: Ska-twooooosh! Fresh from its Cannes film festival showcase, this animated summer entry jumps into theaters -- and onto the 3-D bandwagon. Yuh marks her big-screen directorial debut with this sequel; she worked on the first "Kung Fu Panda" (along with "Madagascar," "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" and "Dark City") as a storyboard artist.
