virginiakublawi | Mar 17, 2024 | 1

My appreciation for the Kung Fu Panda series is no secret. I remember being shocked by the simple but moving meaning in the first movie when I found it. I don’t love Kung Fu Panda 2 as much as most people; I think the original is still the best. But it is a solid sequel that develops … Read More
