What type of film is "Kung Fu Panda 2"?

What type of film is “Kung Fu Panda 2”? It is an animated film. More specifically, it is a 2011 American animated martial-arts comedy produced by DreamWorks Animation.

The film continues the story of Po, a giant panda voiced by Jack Black, who has become the Dragon Warrior. In the sequel, Po and the Furious Five travel to Gongmen City to stop Lord Shen, an ambitious peacock attempting to conquer China with a powerful cannon.

Kung Fu Panda 2 was directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who had served as head of story on the first film. Its visual style combines computer animation with sequences inspired by traditional Chinese art and 2D animation. The film was also produced in stereoscopic 3D, reflecting the technology used in several major animated releases of the period.

The title can cause confusion because the story is built around kung fu, but it is not a live-action martial-arts movie. It belongs to the animated feature-film category and mixes action, comedy, fantasy and family adventure. The sequel was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
