As with any spin-off, it’s difficult not to compare what you are watching to the original; needless to say, Ballerina embraces this challenge by continuing to change the form of what we know the world to be, innovating its tropes and style.

As it is, Kung Fu Panda 4 is a worthy sequel and enjoyable film, even if it doesn’t quite live up to its potential.

Like its predecessors, Chapter 4 indulges in its extravagance unapologetically and gives us some of the best action scenes not only in the franchise, but in cinema as a whole.
