Pantastic!

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2016)

This movie was excellent! To me, the second installment of Kung Fu Panda far exceeded my expectations.
The animation is spectacular! And while the plot uses the typical good vs. evil story, it works well here.
While not as good as the original, Kung Fu Panda 2 offers plenty of action, compassion and laughter.
The villain of the movie, a white peacock named Shen is bent on having revenge from being put away for being too greedy when he is young. His parents sent him away for his own good and he ends up becoming resentful. Does this story sound familiar to you Frozen fans? Anyway, I digress.
On Po's journey to confront Shen, he finds out more about his life as a baby and what exactly happened to him. A symbol on Shen brings back memories of his childhood. While Po struggles with this he eventually finds his way to inner peace and exactly what happened that day.
My favorite new character turned out to be the ram that was Shen's mentor. She was great!
A worthy sequel that will be coming home to my DVD player.
