A new trailer for animated comedy "Kung Fu Panda 3" has arrived. The new trailer offers a lot of never-before-seen footage such as when the leading panda Po (Jack Black) reunites with his estranged father and makes a funny moment by bumping into each other's bellies.

The trailer opens with Po interrupting Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) who is doing meditation. As Po embarks on his greatest journey ever, his guru says that he "must take the next step on the journey, from warrior to teacher."

In the upcoming movie, after reuniting with his long-lost biological father, Po is taken to a secret panda village in the mountain where he can find other panda species that he never thought existed. When the supernatural Kai (J.K. Simmons) begins to threaten all of China, it's up to Po to teach his friends, both new and old, how to become kung fu masters. "I am ready. I'm gonna turn you into kung fu masters," Po says to panda inhabitants.

The third installment of "Kung Fu Panda" movie series brings back Angelina Jolie as Tigress, Jackie Chan as Monkey, Seth Rogen as Mantis, David Cross as Crane and Lucy Liu as Viper. Meanwhile, Kate Hudson lends her voice to a female panda Mei Mei, replacing Rebel Wilson who was originally tapped to voice the character. Directed by Jennifer Yuh, "Kung Fu Panda 3" is scheduled for a U.S. release on January 29, 2016.
