With Wit, Reviewed By Kimmo Mustonenen

As much as the makers love it, just a two track for a successful film to hang on, so suspicious and critical viewers will see the movie, the sequels mostly.

No wonder even particularly that in Kung Fu Panda 2, the same rules as most sequels are, unfortunately: we get the story hardly new to see, but just old wine in new bottles (I like wine!) and other strip has the rather pale imitation.

What?

In animation, the sound then, unfortunately, do not hide the fact.

In 2008 came Kung Fu Panda from Dreamworks Animation forged in the cinema and told the very sympathetic story of a somewhat clumsy panda, which, while not Kung Fu fits so, but it is the chosen one.

We then experienced the development of soup dishwasher without self-awareness towards the greatest Kung Fu fighters that China has ever seen.

Major theme in Kung Fu Panda 2 is the origin of the Po and the fact that it seems otherwise give pandas to none.  Despite this fact very appropriate points of contact to the first part of the writers do not make it real, and the creativity of its predecessor to bring back the flair.

Relying too much on the curiosity of the clumsy panda with big belly as a Kung Fu master and missed the chance to further develop the characters.

Overall, the story seems really nice to be heading past the very first part plagiarized.

Po must find itself again and again he has to recognize reality (what?) as it is through the area “fight” and often by luck and the Furious Five (NOT Fast and the Furious Five – different movie!) in general comes through only.

The animation is, as in the first part, great looking and very creative, for example, when it comes to the memories of Po.  But landscapes to convince also know the care and variety.

Overall, should Kung Fu Panda 2 put up with criticism that is actually the same story told again in modified form?

During the first part by innovation of a Kung Fu fighting panda was able to score even more so this time it looks rather bleak when the creativity of the story is about.

How can you know otherwise?

If you think about this weakness but can ignore about it and just the only good animated pictures happy, then you may well have his fun.

For children it should be noted that especially in the dialogues of the original version to more severe sentences is that the synchronization could be defused yet again.

Otherwise, the rub is just for families but to recommend it because the children can enjoy the various animals on.  And they will.

The title is the River of Rio de Janeiro, the “Marvelous City” which returns a macaw to mate with the last female of her species.

The problem is that the parrot said, Blu her name, was kidnapped in a child’s jungle home, ended up in cold Minnesota, does not fly and got used to a comfort level that Brazil can not give, not to mention the having to do with a future girlfriend dust cleaned, a tribe of monkeys with kleptomania and a psychotic cockatoo.

Blu is the star of the new long animated Blue Sky Studios, author of Ice Age which confirms the extreme solidity and consistency of style “house” is the construction of dialogues and intelligent characters that makes the difference and raises the story of four “fish out of water” (or, rather, “parrot out of the jungle”) above the banality derivative.

Donkin, John Powell, Renato Falcao, Harry HitnerThe rest is the high quality animation, here overseen by Carlos Saldanha, a veteran of the studio, capable of introducing an ecological agenda and refresh the clichés of Corcovado tour, carnival, samba and football without that thing in the tombe postcard.

Above all, there is a lush use of color and texture that explodes in the extraordinary musical numbers written by Carlinhos Brown and choreographed as if Busby Berkeley had risen to draw geometries possible with exotic birds. 

Rio is a delight that, without reaching the heights of Pixar confirms that Blue Sky is earning points to the competitor Dreamworks.

Children will not have mind confusion – whole family fun will make family fun, fun again.  This is Rio!
