Kung Fu Panda 2

Movie

2011

One of, if not my favorite movies ever. Takes an already excellent foundation that was set by the first movie and elevates it to brand new heights, making the world feel larger and more connected thanks to its new antagonist that is a great contrast to Po and the Journey he goes on in this film. They do the impossible and have Jack Black play an emotional role where he struggles with who he is and what he is chooses to be himself throughout the film. The true beauty of the films message of identity is present throughout the dialogue and the front running characters with the protagonist learning to accept himself and find peace as the antagonist struggles and leads himself to his doom. Great choreographed fight scenes which is a given, even with the series worst movie, the characters serve their roles well but is mainly focused on the Dynamic between Shen and Po, which is one of the best hero vs villains stories ever told. Beyond an external vendetta of good vs evil, their is a personal vendetta between the two that is beautifully illustrated from start to end. No movie has in my opinion, reach the heights of this film and unfortunately may never be topped, even by its own series. Truly one of the greats!
