Having already spoken to the music maestro Hans Zimmer and the leading star himself, Jack Black, for the eagerly anticipated animation Kung Fu Panda 3, we then had the opportunity of meeting the two people who put the whole thing together, in co-directors Alessandro Carloni and Jennifer Yuh.

Discussing the former’s first deviation into the world of directing, we asked about the challenges in maintaining Po’s underdog status, whether the character’s infectious enthusiasm rubbed off on the filmmakers, and whether or not this production may spell the end of this glorious franchise.

Kung Fu Panda 3 is released on March 11th. You can read our review here.
