Kung Fu Panda

Dreamworks Animation's "Kung Fu Panda" will most likely be claimed as one of their classics. If not, then it should be. This film which stars Jack Black as Po (the panda) centers on a big fat Panda with hopes of being a master in Kung Fu, yes a panda and yes kung fu, you can't make this stuff up. He dreams of working with Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman)and the furious five -Tigress(Angelina Jolie), Viper(Lucy Lu), Monkey(Jackie Chan), Mantis(Seth Rogen), and Crane (David Cross). When Master Oogway(Randall Duk Kim) -a very spiritual and wise turtle- declares Po as the Dragon Warrior, Shifu and the furious five grow beyond angry that they not only have to train Po in Kung Fu but train him to defeat the legendary Tai Ling(Iam McShane)- the greatest, most powerful tiger there is. Can Po rise up and defeat Tai Ling or will Po, his family and the rest of the town suffer from the loss and destruction that Tai Ling will cause?

"Kung Fu Panda" is definitely up there with one of my favorite animated movies. It's clever, unique, and funny. Jack Black is a delight, the audience just wants to root for him from the first second he appears on screen. He's fun and goofy and it's great to see his personality shine through an animated panda bear with just his voice. Dustin Hoffman and the furious five are all individually great in their animal fighting roles.

The story line is very original and packed with really great laughs. I love how they slow down certain kung fu parts to make it more dramatic but it winds up just being funny. I also love that Po's dad is a bird that makes noodles.

In my opinion I think this movie is awesome. It is wonderful for both children and adults. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys animated fun comedies, movies with a lot of heart and a wonderful message to send to children of all ages.

If you saw "Kung Fu Panda" please share your opinion! Just don't give away too much, we don't want to ruin it for anyone! Also, I hear they are making a sequel how do you feel about that??
