Another DVD we found in the kids' Easter baskets was Kung Fu Panda 2. We enjoyed the first one, and Jack Black usually makes me crack a smile, so we watched this one as a family, too.
This was perhaps not as good as the first, but come on, we're talking about animated pandas learning Kung Fu. It was generally enjoyable. I liked trying to identify the voice actors (who were all pretty good) but everyone got tired of me saying, "Hey, you know who that is, don't you?"
I did have some issues initially with the miraculous things Kung Fu could supposedly do. Things like allowing you to change the path of a cannon ball with your hands. But then I remembered movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Forbidden Kingdom and realized this is really a fantasy genre. Perhaps the animated talking animals should have clued me in.
