Published 6/26/2008 at Cinema Blend News
... the best animated film, it’s just the best film. It’s a breathtaking, imaginative, artistic piece work and it’s perfect just the way it is. It’s an instant classic, one which ought to be put up on a pedestal and left untouched. Unfortunately DreamWorks animation needs another franchise. People are sick of Shrek and after The Love Guru everyone now hates Mike Myers, so they need something else. It looks like sequel-beating of Kung Fu Panda is where it’s at.

More Sequels: The Host, Kung Fu Panda, 300, Hellboy and More!

... Kung Fu Panda 2 - This is completely unconfirmed, but the blog of The Animators Guild recently wrote a post that mentions that DreamWorks is already working on a story for a sequel to Kung Fu Panda. Considering the film has already earned $162 million at the box office, it's very likely that this is accurate.
