My expectations were a little low for this film. Mostly because sequels are seldom able to capture the magic created by the original work. But Kung Fu Panda 2 was able to recreate the same magic again. I think the 3 year gap also helped.

Kung Fu Panda 2 retains the same sense of humor and appears really fresh. Po shows some vulnerabilities and has to go through an emotional journey, albeit a short one. More stress is on humor here than anything else, just like in the previous installment.

There are some animation sequences which are pictured in past which were really fantastic and quite a nice change from the usual style of the movie. The 3D is really good unlike some other recent movies. There are enough good 3D scenes here to make it worthwhile to wear the clunky glasses.
