My Thoughts:
My family was huge fans of the first Kung-Fu Panda, and were eagerly awaiting the sequel to this fun, animated film. Like many other Dreamworks movies, this movie can and is enjoyed by every member of the family, young and old. And, having the main star be funny Jack Black, you know you have a hit on your hands.
We watched this DVD over this weekend, and couldn’t stop laughing and smiling. By the end of the movie, our faces hurt – seriously! The movie was so good. And, the animations were out of this world. Hats off Dreamworks – you have another award winning movie on your hands.
If you enjoyed the first action-packed Kung-Fu Panda movie, you will surely love this sequel, as it doesn’t disappoint. And, if you buy the 2 DVD special edition set, with Secrets of the Masters and Kung Fu Panda World (online virtual gaming), your family will enjoy hours of endless Kung Fu Panda fun.
This DVD (alone or as the DVD set) would make for a great holiday gift for Kung Fu Panda fans. So, what are you waiting for? Head on out to your local retailer and pick up this DVD today.
