When Jennifer Yuh Nelson directed DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 2 in 2011, she became the first woman to solo-direct a $100 million-plus animated feature. She won’t repeat that feat on Kung Fu Panda 3, according to a report earlier this week on Deadline.
Yuh had originally been slated to be KFP3′s sole director, but with a little more than a year before the film’s release, she’ll be joined in the director’s chair by Alessandro Carloni, who will co-direct the film with her.
