Kung Fu Panda (2008)

May 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

This was a cute film. I liked the opening credits where the style was more cell animation. It reminded me of Samurai Jack, one of the most beautiful cartoons I’ve seen in years. Unfortunately this had to go to the thoroughly predictable and uninteresting 3D animation style that has plagued films for years now. Seriously, if you aren’t going to do anything new or interesting with it, then just stop.

The story was basic. Underdog wins with a little training and a lot of will. Sort of The Karate Kid animated.

Not bad, not great. If I had kids it would probably be in the DVD collection because it does have a good message. Not that you can’t see and hear that message in thousands of other films, but not with Jack Black.

In the Valley of Peace, Po the Panda finds himself chosen as the Dragon Warrior despite the fact that he is obese and a complete novice at martial arts.
