Don't get me wrong, I loved the first one just as much as the next person. However, it is rare to find a sequel that boasts to be just as good if not better than the original, and this is one of those rare films. This one takes you behind the story of how Po came to be who he is, and I loved that concept. They took all the great elements of the first and emphasized them in this one, which is a smart move...the only thing missing was the "skidoosh!" and that is a shame. They gave every character a little more. Even Tigress, who barely had any lines in the first, had a bigger role in this one. The action was greater, the villain was greater, and the story was greater. To top it off, the very final scene before the credits caused me to burst into tears of excitement! I really hope they make a third because I am dying to see them play on that scene!
