Now Playing in CityVille: Kung Fu Panda 2

If FarmVille gets GagaVille, what does CityVille get? Jack Black as a tubby martial artist bear. Close enough.

Zynga has teamed up with DreamWorks for the first ever in-game integration for CityVille, the Facebook city building game played by more than 88 million people. Starting today, players can destroy some low rent housing in order to place a Kung-Fu Panda 2 themed drive-in theater, something every city couldn’t live without back in the early 80’s.

Placing the theater allows players to recieve collectible items depicting the movie’s Furious Five: Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper, and Monkey. Once all five are collected players will earn a statue of Po the Panda, a timeless monument to the fact that they’ve been marketed to.

ā€œNearly a third of all Kung Fu Panda fans on Facebook have also played CityVille, so the integration is a natural fit and something we think our players will love,ā€ said Manny Anekal, Global Director of Brand Advertising at Zynga. ā€œIt’s important that we collaborate with innovative brands like DreamWorks Animation that resonate with and are meaningful to our players and enhance their game play.ā€

Consider my game play enhanced.

Kung Fu Panda 2 hits theaters on May 26, proving once again that Jack Black is funnier if you don’t see him.
