Featurettes: Behind the scenes with ‘Kung Fu Panda 2’

Kung Fu Panda 2 still

Kung Fu Panda 2 poster (Australia)Kung Fu Panda 2, strangely enough the sequel to Kung Fu Panda, hits Australian cinemas this week with its mighty paw of power. The good folks at Paramount Australia have sent us these two behind-the-scenes videos for your viewing pleasure, and to get you into the mood for the film.

Featuring interviews with the cast and crew, including Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman, the first of these looks at the process of animating a panda for the big screen, along with a whole lot of footage of incredibly cute baby pandas.

The second video adds interviews with Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen and Gary Oldman, who also provide voices in the film, and is largely concerned with the dazzling fireworks effects that are a very prominent feature of the second film.
