Kung Fu Panda 2: Black and white,If you change the Wizards of the Harry Potter movies with a bunch of talking animals (and switch to live-action CGI animation), you have quite a few 'round of DreamWorks' Kung Fu two. And considering how popular was Harry, I would say that is not a bad thing.
But instead, Mr. Potter, we are lovable, roly-poly panda, Po (Jack Black), who is back again, fortunately, to guard the Valley of Peace, since he became a respected Dragon Warrior. But the peace does not last long, because the evil Chinese peacock Mr. Shen (voiced by Gary Oldman is very British, but just go with it), decided to dominate the Chinese support for new advanced explosives to disturb the peaceful philosophy of Kung Fu. When Po and friendly gang tries to stop fighting peacock, Po learns that Shen was responsible for the death of his parents years ago, only to collect the incentive Po to defeat the evil lord (sound familiar yet?)
So we heard this story before, but this is different. Against the backdrop of ancient China, the film tribute to the cultural traditions of Asia is a refreshing change from most films of the American family. References to the practice of meditation and themes to turn around to find their "inner peace" may sound too philosophical for children, but take a lesson very simple: they feel comfortable with you and that you can do something. A simple message that any child-devil, an adult-to remember from time to time.
Even a technical point of view, the film examines the various paths. We get high-tech CGI animation, but is complementary to the strategy of pseudo-comic book-style, which is used to describe the inner thoughts Po. These sequences are regarded as "old" animation live in a simple but clear.
Thus, although technically not a child, go get a few laughs (remember, it is with Jack Black). I'm not saying this is the best animated film in years, but it's well-being of entertainment that will leave you with inner peace until the next episode of Kung Fu.
