LOS ANGELES - DreamWorks Animation SKG has announced plans for a sequel to "Kung Fu Panda" to be released in 2011.
The movie, like all DreamWorks Animation films starting in 2009, will be produced with 3-D technology, the company said in a statement Wednesday.
Jack Black will return to provide the voice of Po, a panda in ancient China who becomes an unlikely martial-arts hero. Angelina Jolie is also slated to return as the voice of Tigress.
The computer animated comedy has brought in more than $200 million in domestic box office and more than $600 million worldwide since its release in early June, making it DreamWorks Animation's most successful original film ever.
It will be released on DVD on November 9, along with a new companion short, "Secrets of the Furious Five."
