KUNG FU PANDA 3 Gets a STAR WARS Inspired Trailer
As you know, Star Wars is a hot item these days, especially with The Force Awakens coming out later this year, so we've seen a lot of Star Wars elements being implemented in the marketing of other products. It's been really interesting to see. This latest trailer for DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda 3 does exactly that. As you'll see, it's heavily inspired by Star Wars, using the whole "I am your father" Darth Vader bit.
When Po's long-lost panda father suddenly reappears, the reunited duo travels to a secret panda paradise to meet scores of hilarious new panda characters. But when the supernatural villain Kai begins to sweep across China defeating all the kung fu masters, Po must do the impossible—learn to train a village full of his fun-loving, clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas!
This next chapter in the story was directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who also brought us Kung Fu Panda 2. Jack Black returns as the voice of Po, along with Gary Oldman, Dustin Hoffman, David Cross, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Yeoh, Mads Mikkelsen, Danny McBride, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan, James Hong, and Bryan Cranston.
Kung Fu Panda 3 is set to hit theaters on January 29th, 2016.
