When I first reported on Kung-Fu Panda 2 coming to Blu-ray way back in July, there were only a handful of pre-order hints about the disc lingering around the fringes of the internets. Well, now that we’re just over a week away from its official release on October 13th I thought I’d post the full feature list, found below and the nifty, detailed trailer above. I’ve got the disc in hand and will have a full review for you early next week. I’m really looking forward to diving into it.

My kids and I loved this movie! We watched it twice because it was so good. It’s great that the producers were able to make a sequel without ruining the greatness of the original Kung Fu Panda. I used the Blockbuster Movie Pass to rent this and we loved it! My kids keep asking me to get it again, so it will definitely be soon. I’ve been using the Blockbuster Movie Pass for a while now and being able to rent movies and Blu-Rays like Kung Fu Panda 2 almost as soon as they release is the biggest positive about it. DISH is practically giving it away too. Whether or not I was working for DISH, I would still have to have the Blockbuster Movie Pass. There is more than I could ever watch in a lifetime, so I am pretty sure I will be good for 2012! Bring on the New Year!
