| 12:07 | He's quite old to be having the 'where am I from?' talk! |

| 29:27 | "Big and furry. Soft and squishy. Plush and cuddly." |
| 35:49 | Quite fun to have a fight scene where people don't want to be rescued. |
| 48:48 | I do worry about all the roof tiles that are sacrificed in these adventures. |
| 1:01:59 | The baby panda had a baby panda toy? Well, I need that. |
| 1:07:58 | I love the shouting from a distance. No one can hear. |

Thoughts
Pretty good sequel, all things considered. It's hard to do follow ups when the panda has already achieved everything his heart desired. This is a good story though, the threat real. There's perhaps a bit more fighting than I'd have liked, but it's nicely offset by the cuteness of the baby panda flashbacks. Dude, seriously.
It's very funny, too, I do think Jack Black is perfect as a big fluffy, clumsy but earnest panda. What's not to like?
Rating: 4 / 5
