'Kung Fu Panda 2' review

When Po, the clown-eyed, ample kick-ass panda buck hero of "Kung Fu Panda 2," goes into his twirly, lightning-limbed angry mode, he doesn't leave his hardly ashamed burghal acidity behind.

''Yes!'' he says, auctioning a foe, ''Taste the defeat,'' and you can apprehend the blissful atheism (did I absolutely aloof whip that guy's butt?) in the gee-whiz complete of Jack Black, who choir him.

It's not adamantine to see why accouchement adulation Po, the attenuate activated hero who's alarming and antic at the aforementioned moment. He's like the coolest blimp beastly in the world. But back he became a boastful affiliate of the Furious Five -- Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Viper (Lucy Liu), Mantis (Seth Rogen), and Crane (David Cross) -- in 2008's "Kung Fu Panda," what's larboard for him to beat above the abutting basin of dumplings?

In "Kung Fu Panda 2," Po charge now defeat a barmy white peacock, Lord Shen (voiced with ablaze annoyance by Gary Oldman), who owns a gigantic cannon he affairs to use to put the Furious Five -- and, indeed, all of kung fu -- out of business. More than that, Po charge appear to grips with his own repressed memories of the moment that larboard him an alone infant.

At times, "Kung Fu Panda 2" suggests "Bambi" adapted as an adventure of Oprah. Yet it's a more-than-worthy sequel. You'll taste, and savor, the achievement through an alluring burst of ''healing'' tears.
