Who co-directed Kung Fu Panda 3 with Jennifer Yuh Nelson?

Alessandro Carloni co-directed Kung Fu Panda 3 with Jennifer Yuh Nelson.

Kung Fu Panda 3 was released in 2016 and continued Po’s story as he encountered his biological father, Li Shan, and the hidden Panda Village. Carloni and Nelson shared directing duties on the third theatrical film in the series.

The name is easy to mix up with other Kung Fu Panda directors. Mark Osborne and John Stevenson directed the first film, while Jennifer Yuh Nelson directed Kung Fu Panda 2 on her own. Mike Mitchell and Stephanie Stine directed Kung Fu Panda 4.

Carloni had worked in animation before becoming a feature director, including roles at DreamWorks Animation. His collaboration with Nelson helped deliver the film’s combination of family comedy, martial-arts action, and themes of self-discovery.
