Description
Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) continues the fun, excitement and humor of the original film. This time around, though, director Jennifer Yuh Nelson and her crew at DreamWorks Animation have plussed the proceedings in ways that pay greater tribute to the Hong Kong martial arts films that serve as inspiration for the KFP series.
Join journalist and critic Dan Persons as he explores how syncretism -- the process of incorporating outside influences into an established form to create something new and unique -- was applied to this entertaining blend of family-friendly action and comedy, and how the medium of computer-generated animation transforms a classic action genre into visionary entertainment.
WHAT IS F3M?
F3M is an experiment in delivering in-depth, provocative film criticism to those fans who seek more from the field than capsule outlines and blurbable catch phrases. Under the guidance of film journalist Dan Persons, each F3M piece will delve deeply into a recent release, presenting challenging perspectives in a fresh, informal format.
AND WHO IS DAN PERSONS?
Dan Persons is a film journalist (didn't you read above?) whose work has appeared in such outlets as the IFC, ReelzChannel, and Air America websites, and Cinefantastique and Disney magazines.
AND WHY IS MY STOMACH MAKING THAT NOISE?
You're hungry. Go have a snack.
