This DreamWorks animated sequel is destined to be a box-office and word-of-mouth success. In an American cartoon with Chinese elements as the background, the first thing the production team had to face was how to bring a different freshness to the audience within the unchanging background. Obviously, this sequel after a three-year absence has finally conquered a lot of anticipation. The mainstay of the whole film is the many entertainment jokes designed by the script, which is the only bright spot of this animation. The script of the film is clearly committed to creating a sense of activeness in the plot, and the overall story is nothing new, but it is completely concealed by the comedy jokes that are clustered in the plot. As a result, we have seen a blinding method that is bright and bright on the surface and dull and tasteless on the inside. But what I have to say is that this is an ode to joy that conquers the public after all. When waves of laughter after waves are entertaining the public, who would consider that the movie script is using the surface to fool people? When waves of vision and hearing hit our retinas and eardrums, our hearts have long been affected by this cartoon.

In fact, the series of "Kung Fu Panda" completely exposed the artistic conception it wanted to express when the first film was launched, that is, to express a kind of spirit through a group of animals. Therefore, from the first part, it gave us a straightforward foreshadowing that each plot will be similar. The film itself will naturally have a bottom line guarantee in terms of story. Judging from the story of this "Kung Fu Panda 2", it inherits the leading line in the first part. Panda comprehends a supreme kung fu realm, destroys villains and saves thousands of creatures. In fact, this film loses a large part of the story compared to the first one (of course, first of all, it must be stated that the focus of this film is not the story). Compared with the first film, what the story of this sequel film loses is that kind of single-minded pursuit. This is mainly reflected in the lack of foreplay and the excess of afterplay. The film cuts directly into the theme from the beginning, and the too fast switching of shots directly introduces us into the confrontation between the pros and the villains. In the after-scenario, there are some flashes on purpose to highlight this point, but it is completely redundant. From the panda, the pursuit is almost invisible due to the fast flash. As a result, the story of this movie completely lacks that finishing touch, and it also looks a lot tacky. Fortunately, the script shifted the focus to the fun lines.

The laughs created by the film's lines carry the weight when the story loses its sparkle. Not to be overlooked, of course, is the entertainment that emanates from the characters' body language. In fact, almost all the laughs come from that panda. Due to the high level of entertainment, the audience's emotions were completely restrained by the panda's every move. This is what the filmmakers want to see, because the focus of the production is the panda. There is no need to doubt the production level of DreamWorks. With such a strong production level, we have seen a new addition with more What a comical panda. The panda's near-perfect performance leaves no trace of design flaws. What's more, we also saw that the expressions and body language expressed from a panda made many people laugh.

Facing the current film market, this film is destined to have a good harvest at the box office. The main point is that this cartoon, which is designed with a strong sense of animation under the beautiful but silent background elements, was released in a better schedule. Instead of watching your child entertain himself with sweaty profuse sweating in the playground under the scorching sun, it is better to take the child to the cinema and laugh happily at the panda picture on the big screen. At least, this laughter Brings more than one kind of happiness.

Of course, it has to be said that the release of such a film in China is destined to give our film production team a pain. We also saw such a self-deprecating laugh for the laughs brought about by the film itself. This "Kung Fu Panda 2" turned out to be directed by a Korean female director at DreamWorks in the United States. In the future sequels, directors from other countries may appear as directors, and they will continue to use Chinese elements as the film. Background, therefore, that pain will be affected one after another. So, let’s follow the power of bear’s paw and shoot a domestic film production team, hoping that a Chinese director will stand up in the sequel. At least then, we can comfort ourselves while laughing. For this "Kung Fu Panda 2", hahaha, for our audience, it is enough to appreciate that set of panda jokes, why not do it.
