Total Film
Bigger and better than the original, Panda 2 skilfully avoids the curse of the sequel with wit, flair and a 3D paw to the face.

Accomplishes the depressingly familiar mathematical trick of being both more and less than its predecessor.

The animation is elegant, the story is much more involving than in the original, and there's boundless energy.

It all moves along briskly, with a degree of visual grace and a solid feel for 3D.

Empire Magazine
A richer plot, life lessons and loving Chinese cultural references rendered by turns sweet, scary and charming, with yet more fantastical kung fu, make this an engaging winner. Stunning visuals make it real art as well.

The sequel remains visually beautiful and strikingly designed, but otherwise, it's a surprise in all the wrong ways.
