According to Internet Media: Beautifully animated and formulaically plotted, Kung Fu Panda 2 is one of those cartoons for kids that doesn't transcend its audience and play to adults as well. Indeed, even the packed house of youngsters with whom I saw the film barely seemed to laugh.
A sequel to the 2008 hit, this episode tries to deal with the bigger questions, even as it throws in jokes about how fat and childish its central character, Po the panda (voiced by Jack Black), is.
Last time out, Po sought to discover his destiny - which, not surprisingly, turned out to be as a king-fu warrior known as the Dragon Warrior. This time, he seeks to answer the eternal question: Who am I?
But it's not "Who am I?" in the cosmic sense. Rather, it's "Who am I?" - as in, who were my parents and why was I raised by a goose that runs a noodle shop, instead of by pandas?
