It works

Rating: 6/10 (1 June 2012)

The first Kung Fu Panda I would give an 8, it's pretty solid all the way around and the concept is a little new and fresh. This 2nd outing of the Kung Fu Panda doesn't have the new aspect to it, and the story is a little lacking, but for the most part, it's not too bad.
I like the zen like quality both Kung Fu Panda's bring to the table. The characters are likable and funny and I really give this movie it's 6 because of the theme it has, which is, 'You don't have to condemn yourself for eternity, your past is your past, what you do now is what define's you and makes you who you are.'
Both movies have a good feeling of hope and a Zen-Eckhart Tolle like atmosphere. Kung Fu Panda 2 is good for the kids and is a good lesson for the adults.
