Paramount Home Entertainment is releasing Kung Fu Panda 2 on Blu-ray & DVD today.  With beautiful animation, this is an exciting, funny and sometimes very touching example of a sequel done right.  We reviewed the film when it opened in theatres on May 27th, our overall consensus was:

“Following the excellent 2008 original, Kung Fu Panda 2 boasts beautiful animation and strong action sequences, making this a sequel done right as it furthers the adventures of the always appealing characters.  ***1/4 (Out of 4)”

The Blu-ray includes commentary with director Jennifer Yuh Nelson among others, several deleted scenes and numerous featurettes.  Also included is the bonus short film Secrets of the Masters.

Kung Fu Panda 2 is 90 minutes and rated PG.
