A young-ish panda is one of the laziest animals in the area (called the valley of peace). After a long selection process he becomes the one panda that must protect their home land from all the enemies. The sad thing is that Po doesn't really know much protection action and must learn it on the fly.

Everybody went Kung Fu Fighting!!!

Kung Fu Panda is both a send-up of and a tribute to the kung-fu genre, and it works. Innocent eyes will goggle at the beautifully rendered characters, break-neck action, and gentle humor; more experienced viewers will laugh at loud at all of the kung fu movie clichés... a hopeless loser that goes from zero to hero in about one day of intense training... a promising but evil student who turns against his master... the wise, ancient master... the prophesy... the various forms of animal-style kung-fu practiced by actual creatures of the correct type... it's all there, without any wires, and without the awful dialogue you would expect from a chop-sockey film. Jack Black entertains, and shares some excellent dialogue with Master Sifu, voiced by Dustin Hoffman. The Furious Five, a group of powe...

Jack Black was made to be animated

First of all, it is hard to realize how many big names are in this movie until you see the credits but they all defer the spotlight to Jack Black in this hilarious animated film from Dreamworks.

The message is great and Jack Black punctuates the movies with his special brand of humor and really carries the movie well.

I think the real gem of this movie is the artwork of the epic battle scenes and how they are cut and put together. It borrows from anime and epic martial arts movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the visuals just really shine through in this one.

Visually interesting movie that is so funny it'll make you say 'stop, I'm gonna pee'. Don't miss this one!

Kung Fu Fun

A slick animated adventure with likable characters that doesn't waste a lot of time with supporting sidekick moments or filler musical numbers; Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman are a lot of fun, and Ian McShane makes for a commanding villain. Final Grade: B
