We wanted to make sure that we had a story we were excited about telling. MELISSA COBB: It was a good six-month break. JENNIFER YUH NELSON: We took a very nice break after the second one. Directors Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni, along with producer Melissa Cobb, spoke to Collider for this exclusive interview about when they started developing a third Kung Fu Panda film, telling a story worthy of Po, why a directing team is an asset on an animated feature, how much the story evolves, adding a love interest for Po, re-recording the voice for her character, having a scary villain, and the possibility of Kung Fu Panda 4. While we were at the DreamWorks animation campus, we got the opportunity to chat with the filmmakers about all things Kung Fu Panda, one of the most successful animated franchises in the world. The scenes and footage that we were shown (some in final form and some in storyboard form) clearly demonstrated how this story will see Po fulfilling his highest potential, making the transition from student to teacher, as he builds a panda army to defeat Kai’s zombie army. Collider (along with various other entertainment outlets) was invited to check out some scenes from the January 29 th release that is sure to be the most fun, most epic Kung Fu Panda movie yet.
