This is what I always remember with the movie I saw few hours ago. I like it! I enjoy with in as well as my family. I felt like coming back into a kid. I just can’t help but laugh.
Classic kung fu movies are poked fun at, Kung Fu Panda does an excellent job of treating the genre with great respect in a movie geared towards kids. And while it IS kid friendly, it is not dumbed down to the point where it’s childish. All the classic elements of those great kung fu flicks are there, while still keeping it pleasantly G-rated.
Po, Shifu and Oogway, the rest of the cast seemed pretty ‘phoned-in’. Thankfully, those characters are pretty inconsequential so they’re not really missed.
Let me get this out of the way: this movie has some of the greatest 3D animated fight scenes. Ever. What elevates them from good to great is that while I expected the unbelievable, gravity-defying stunts that are REQUIRED of a good kung fu movie, there is an amazing amount of ‘realism’ to the physics in this movie. Just watch the jailbreak and you’ll understand.
There are lots of inside jokes related to the voice actors. There are double entendre or unnecessary crude humour. It’s terribly entertaining.
The last great part of this movie is often the most overlooked part of a good family film… heart. This movie has oodles of it. Kung Fu Panda has genuine cinematic moments with dialogue that carries real weight. Best line: Oogway regarding yesterday, tomorrow and today.
There are no accidents! There is no secret! It’s in you!
