The sequel to the impressively good original doesn’t disappoint even though the story is pretty much a retelling of what happened the first time around.
Synopsis: A peacock is hell bent on conquering China by taking advantage of a deadly new weapon. Po and his friends will do their best to stop him, but Po has some unresolved personal issues to deal with first.
Given the big success of the first movie and the likability of the characters, it was inevitable that we’d see more adventures of the kung fu clan. Kung Fu Panda 2 is a good follow up though, which isn’t something easy to accomplish (see Shrek 2-3-4 or Cars 2).
The Bottom Line: While not as “wowing” as the original, Kung Fu Panda 2 is a good family movie with impressive animation and a script that’s both funny and touching.
Grade: 8
