Kung Fu Panda: The Series Coming to Nickelodeon

May 15, 2009

Nickelodeon has ordered "Kung Fu Panda: The Series," a new CG-animated comedy based on last year's box office hit, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The network has ordered 26 episodes of the series, Nick's second co-production with DreamWorks Animation SKG. The two companies also partnered on "The Penguins of Madagascar," which premiered March 28 on Nick and ranked as the most-watched series premiere in the network's history (6.1 million viewers). Since then, "Penguins" has become the second most-popular program among kids 6-11 on television, behind only "SpongeBob SquarePants."

The series will premiere next year.

Kung Fu Panda isn't Disney, it's Dreamworks.

It's funny because not only does Disney not have anything to do with anything mentioned in this article, but what Disney IS doing is releasing their first hand-drawn animated feature film since "Home on the Range" in theaters in November. So not only did he diss Disney for something they weren't involved in, he was mad about something they're actually doing the exact opposite of.

WOW! I loved the film but I can't even see how they will do the sequel that's been announvced let alone a series.

They should have done an INCREDIBLES series. LOTS of stories there.

I wonder who will be doing the voices. They clearly can't have Ang-Jo, Lucy Lui and Dustin Hoffman in every episode. I wouldn't put it past Jack Black though. He seems like he would do something like that.
