History YMMV / KungFuPanda2

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The flashback to Po's past in 2-D animation makes the wolves and Shen look like real monsters.
** Pretty much the only time when the iconic call of the Indian Peafowl [[HellIsThatNoise became genuinely haunting and terrifying]].

** Cows are referred to collectively as cows, male and female. An individual male is a bull. Peacocks are referred to collectively as peacocks. An individual female is a peahen. The more artistic license bit is that both his parents seemed to have the huge tails. Only the males do; they're mate-attractant. The species is, according to TheOtherWiki, referred to as Peafowl, but much like cows/cattle, the name people use generally is different.

* TheProblemWithLicencedGames: The video game for this was sub-par at best. The PS3 version, however, stands out, resembling [[ObviousBeta a meeting pitch prototype shown to the publisher to continue work, but was released as a finished product instead]].

* AwardSnub: Lost to {{Rango.}}

* FridgeLogic: In the final fight scene, how was the cannon being held ''up'' by ropes attached to the ship's deck?

* [[spoiler: Lord Shen. After a very miserable and empty life, he finally faces the warrior destined to defeat him whose entire species he tried to destroy...and the warrior has found inner peace, and doesn't want revenge. [[EvilCannotComprehendGood He cannot grasp how that is]], how he could be free of all that pain, and tries one last time to kill him...only to accidently kill himself. But he [[ObiWanMoment accepts it gracefully]], because death is the only peace he could find.]]

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: For all the good reviews and the high Cinemascore audience grade of the film, the film is unfairly underperforming at the box office in North America. However, internationally, especially in China, the film is a smash hit with a worldwide box office take to compensate quite nicely.

*** It's a question of whether FreudianExcuse and PetTheDog behaviour are enough to disqualify him from the ''Complete'' part. There is little doubt he's a monster, but he's got sympathetic traits and is really a lot more miserable than any of his victims. That it seems to be pathalogical, that he didn't see what was wrong with his behaviour but is vaguely aware that he's the cause of his own problems, is another pitiable point.

* FridgeBrilliance:[[spoiler: Shen says he "took away" Po's parents. It's an odd line, considering NeverSayDie is averted mostly. At the end of the movie, we see a valley of surviving pandas who include Po's birth father.]]

* [[spoiler: Also his death, being either a defiant attempt or being a total DeathSeeker]].
