Reviews

"Hardly a scene goes by that isn't visually striking or kinetically thrilling, and all of it enhanced by 3-D." - Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

"This emotionally resonant, character-driven, action-packed sequel is awesome!" - Susan Granger, SSG Syndicate

"The film marks the amazing feature film directing debut by artist-animator Jennifer Yuh." - James Verniere, Boston Herald

"No, we're not talking about Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter, although it does feel that way early on in the animated Kung Fu Panda 2." - Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News

"A fleeter, funnier beast than its 2008 predecessor." - Nick Schager, Village Voice

"The freshness and novelty that made the original film such a kick back in 2008 has been, well, kicked to bits." - Christy Lemire, Associated Press

"The kinder, gentler Kung Fu Panda 2 will surely try the patience of older children and fun-seeking parents." - Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail

"Like that kung pao chicken at the back of your fridge, none of it's quite as crisp the second time around." - Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
