Ideal encoding settings for a 3D animated show

Hi, I'm new to the forums and x265 in general.
I have this show (The Penguins of Madagascar) at 4000+ kbps x264 and I want to re-encode it using x265 at less than 2000 kbps.
Since I'm a newb, I don't understand most of the settings and which of them are good for a 3D animated show so I need some help.

Here's the MediaInfo for one of the files:

I'd start with --preset slower --tu-intra 4 --tu-inter 4.

For "less than 2000 Kbps" you could do --crf 23 --vbv-maxrate 2000 --vbv-bufsize 12000. 2-pass is way better if you want a real cap on bitrate. Alternatively, you can find the CRF that gives you the quality you want the size you want.
