1. Kung Fu Panda 2
Resleased in 2011, the Dreamworks venture, Kung Fu Panda 2 is the sequel of Kung Fu Panda (2008). The first movie, which tells the story of an ordinary good-for-nothing lazy panda, who somehow just finds himself to be the chosen Dragon Warrior, even though he does not know the first thing about doing martial arts, was not nearly as good as the sequel, which is Po, the panda’s quest for Inner Peace. The story is filled with humor and emotions, as Po finds out more about his past and where he came from.
