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.
Po the panda works at his family's noodle shop until he is chosen to train with his idols, the Furious Five and kung fu master Shifu.
Tigress, Shifu, Monkey, and other kung fu masters try to whip into shape Po, a chubby panda who has been chosen as the Dragon Warrior to fend off the evil Tai Lung.
Po and the Furious Five are busy keeping the Valley of Peace safe - but it's not until the evil Shen turns up, with his super secret weapon, that they realise that this time they might have their work cut out. Each little book follows the story of each of our favourite characters. It's the perfect addition to any Kung Fu Panda fan's collection.
