I was one of the strongest supporters and most consistent of Pixar as the jewel in the crown of the animation team and film narrative, I have to admit that some aspirants to the throne is looking more and more worthy of all time. Blue Sky Studios, creators of "Ice Age" movies, a major technical leap forward with the predictable, but nice "Rio" earlier this year. And now, Dreamworks Animation, the home of the now burned "Shrek" series, is emerging from its recent drop in quality with "Kung Fu Panda" series.
The makers of "Kung Fu Panda 2", especially the director has clearly made great efforts to keep the spark and energy above the first. With the venerable on board as executive producer and creative consultant,is the story of an adoption, with a fat panda named Po self-esteem issues (Jack Black). Situated in an ancient China populated by talking animals only humanized, it may come as no surprise that the first result of effective probes deeper into the nascent hero Po travel and personal problems, wake we really respond Campbellian archetype, but also remained fully viable as mainstream entertainment for all ages. Yes, there are still a series of fat jokes at Po is Bill expansive, and exaggeration, the long list of celebrity voice talent is even more in this game (just off the top of my head, the film co -stars Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Seth Rogan, Jackie Chan, David Cross, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Danny McBride ... the list goes on and on). And maybe Jack Black is once novel "hardcore" shtick sounds a bit past its prime, but the film wins at the end.
This is a massive effort that evokes not just some good laughs and excitement, but perhaps a tear or two. With Po, learn more about their mysterious early, expand the original a classic hero for a modern audience might be associated with different parts of Superman and Spider-Man, among others.
Throughout history, evil Peacock feather razor-super-villain hopes that the decision of the Chinese channels destructive properties of fireworks in his power play to reverse the hierarchy of power. At the same Po, but the new Dragon Warrior, is to divide his time collaboration dynamic Furious Five (five animals update an intelligent animal fighting styles of some martial arts), and a father's noodle shop. Just when he begins to question the authenticity of his birth, his father goose (it is yet to learn that has been accepted. Po the Dragon Warrior, to be friendly, but still not the sharpest tool shed), its arts Martial owner, inform him that it is time to move to the next phase of this training: mastering the inner peace.
He talks about bad timing - just as Po learns shocking truth about the worldwide adoption has achieved against the tyrant and his minions to save Peacock China - and only the inner peace gets the victory. But inner peace is a lot of hope, and only an abstract concept, leading us chubby. His struggle through the lens of a metaphor for the film, it is legitimate and completely relatable one. As a number of offers Pixar, the film is not afraid to turn in an area that may need to be emotionally demanding, and which is fully credible.
"Kung Fu Panda 2", although it carries a message (the one who is not afraid to direct the details of the provision of any younger viewers and more dense), it is not the usual condescending refrain to "follow your heart "(gag!) or" love conquers all "(zzzz). The film is not just a family entertainment but also as a show of action, and even a bit of myth-making epic. It is also the funniest comedy of the summer so far (Sorry, "Part II Hangover"). Although it is possible that Black Jack may've brought his welcome with the public in general ( "Gulliver's Travels," anyone?), "Kung Fu Panda" has a lot of kicks and the second part certainly brings fireworks hardcore,Watch Kung Fu Panda 2 Megavideo.
