We just love kung fu! Last episode we reviewed Kung Fu Panda and we just couldn’t get enough, so we’re back to review the 2011 sequel, Kung Fu Panda 2! Join along for this hilarious Kung Fu Panda 2 podcast in episode 91 of the Animation Addicts Podcast.
Highlights
- Main Discussion: Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)
- General info, box office results, and first thoughts and recollections.
- Morgan thought the intro was going to be a lot more epic.
- The score by Hans Zimmer and John Powell really does a great job of drawing you in. It’s very lyrical and dictates what is happening on screen.
- Big plot problem: Po’s “Who am I? Where did I come from?” dilemma comes out of nowhere. Needed more buildup.
- Lord Shen is an amazing villain.
- This is one of the most emotional DreamWorks films.
- Did Shen survive? In frame by frame, you see him crushed by his cannon.
- So that’s where all the pandas went!
- Voicemail: Katie, Sarah
- Listener Twitter question: What is your favorite scene or quote from Kung Fu Panda 2?
