An enjoyable sequel

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2011)

I liked a lot the first "Kung Fu Panda" film, but I wasn't sure about the idea of a sequel (Especially considering how disappointing "Cars 2" was.) Fortunately it ended being incredibly good and funny, just like the first film. I think that, in some aspects, it was even better than the first movie, having more character and plot development. Instead of focusing too much in the new characters (Which, in my opinion, was the worst mistake from "Cars 2", and it is a common flaw in many sequels) "Kung Fu Panda" keeps the story focused in the characters from the first film, developing their personalities (Being the only exception Master Shifu, that here has just a secondary role) Anyway, I enjoyed a lot "King Fu Panda 2": The animation was excellent, the comedy was pretty effective, and it also added more elements to the plot from original movie, making it even better. And it also some heart-warming moments that worked very well, being one of the most enjoyable movies for the whole family from this year.
I highly recommend it, and not only for the kids.
