Fast paced, cute and thoughtful

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2011)

I did not expect much from this title other than a few laughs and maybe some cool stuff from master Shifu (much like the first one). As a sequel the risks were to the downside but this time it was the other way around. It is light, colorful, packed with pretty cool action scenes, and most importantly, it was engaging and touching. The search for the "inner peace" and for Po's family history at the same time worked very smoothly. As the story unfolds the concept of inner peace is developed and the ending is magnificent. Very touching for an adult. I can't imagine how special this is for a child (I believe they must get this easier than anyone else). I highly recommend this film for everyone but specially for those with children.
