Intro"Kung Fu Panda 2" is an animated action-comedy motion picture produced by DreamWorks Animation and directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson. A follow up to 2008's "Kung Fu Panda", the movie once again includes anthropomorphic animals in the ancient Middle Kingdom centered around the loveable Panda, Po (voiced by Jack Black).
PlotThe story presents a brand-new villain, Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), an albino peacock who seeks to conquer China using a deadly brand-new weapon, a crossbow-cannon. This threatens to make Kung Fu outdated. Po, now the Dragon Warrior, and the Furious Five-- Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane-- set out to challenge and neutralize this brand-new danger, under the guidance of their coach, Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman).
Battle and DiscoveryAs they journey towards the climactic fight, Po deals with flashbacks of his past. These scenes expose a harsh fact-- that he was embraced. As Po pieces together these fragmented memories, he finds out that his moms and dads were eliminated by Lord Shen when he was a cub.
Emotional ConflictThis discovery sets off a personal crisis in Po, forcing him to fix up the wondrous and carefree life he's known with the awful history he never understood he had. Master Shifu encourages him to discover "inner peace" to solve this internal chaos and improve his Kung Fu abilities.
Final Battle & ResolutionIn the ending, Lord Shen and his expanding weapon cause mayhem across Gongmen City, requiring Po and the Furious Five into a spectacular showdown. Po attains inner peace throughout the battle, enabling him to redirect Shen's cannon fire back at his fleet and conserving China. The peacock refuses to concede defeat and tries to squash Po with among his own fallen weapons. However Po's inner peace enables him to make it through, while Shen is squashed by his own cannon.
Last Thoughts"Kung Fu Panda 2" ended with an unexpected discovery, a still-alive group of pandas hidden in a secret village, signaling that the series had more surprises in shop. In the middle of the entertaining blend of humor, action, and lively animation, the movie explores deep styles such as self-discovery, the battle with one's identity, and the quest for inner peace, connecting effectively with both more youthful and older audiences.
