It feels great to have a movie marathon. The first of the movies is Kungfu Panda 2.Now that Po is living the life of THE Dragon Warrior, he has been busy protecting the villagers. But trouble brews at Gongmen City as Lord Shen plots to reclaim his city and take over China. Po and his comrades, the Furious Five, set out on the rescue mission. But the journey proves to be more than meet the eyes. Po discovers a hidden past about this childhood which has been haunting his dreams. As he learns accept his past, masters inner peace and triumphs over evil.
I still love the animation and the avant garde Chinese style adopted by this animation. Baby Po is so cute! I particularly love the story of Goose sharing how he adopted Po. I do feel a tinge of disappointment as the animation is a little too wholesome, like a typical Disney movie. Is Dreamworks trying to following Disney's formula just to garner mass appeal?
The writers are quite smart to make full use of the various characters to the maximum. On the whole, it is quite lighthearted, entertaining and timely punctuated with subplots and humors.
Rating: 4 out of 5 fairy clouds. Go watch this animation with young children. They would deeply adore Po and his friends.
