Po the kick-ass Kung Fu fighting Panda, is back in a new 3D adventure to save the Valley of Peace.
Armed with his Furious Five comrades, the hilarious Po takes Kung Fu to a whole new level even better than the first.
I particularly enjoyed the authenticity of the Asian-American culture depicted in the film.
It is Jennifer Yuh Nelson's directorial debut of a major animated film by Dreamworks. She was an artist and head of story for 2008's Kung Fu Panda.
Kung Fu Panda 2 almost reads like a old, wise Chinese tale packed with great comedy from the likes of Jack Black and Seth Rogen.
This time around, the noodle-loving Po must defeat an evil Peacock, named Lord Shen who possesses a weapon powerful enough to destroy Kung Fu and rule over China forever!
This sequel is packed with lots of action and tons of laughs but also carries a touching message. Po must search deep within himself and reconcile with his past to find the answers to defeat Lord Shen.
