Sequels are almost never better then its originals. The Bourne Ultimatum and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 might prove me wrong, but those are more like final parts of a three- or two-part story, so it is true anyway: sequels rarely beat originals. And so it is in Kung Fu Panda 2 as well.

The animation is breathtaking, the humor very fun, the kung-fu action extremely stylized, the story fine and morally educating to children as the original Kung Fu Panda, but it is still a tiny bit worse. But it is nothing wrong with that. As i have learned from watching many sequels, i expected it to be worse and Kung Fu Panda 2 is still a very fun, spectacular movie for children and adults of all ages.
