Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

Kung Fu Panda 2

Gongmen City was ruled by the peacock clan, whom also invested the fireworks. introducing a new villain, Shen was the heir to the peacock clan. he wanted to use the fireworks as weapon to rule over china. when a fortune teller told Shen he would one day be defeated by a "black n white warrior", Shen assumed she was referring to the pandas. thus he set out to kill all pandas. years later, Po together with the Furious 5 was sent to stop Shen from taking over china.

with its first sequel, Kung Fu Panda (2008), being such a success, we were surprised to find Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) to be an even larger success! it was so heartwarming n hilarious, it completely surpassed the typical martial art theme, surpassing even its first sequel. as for Shen the villain, he was so beautiful we found it difficult to truly hate him! even though he was supposed to be the one inventing a weapon so powerful it destroyed kungfu, but he was actually very skillful in martial arts. the final battle between Shen n Po was absolute captivating. it was impressive that although the animation was directed by a different director than its previous sequel, they managed to continue its focus on martial arts n expanding its attraction from there.

    thanks! i'm glad you enjoy movies as much as i do. it's alright to miss the first sequel n jumped straight to this one, but of course it is always much more fun to know the characters one by one before moving on for more stories!
