Plot: A clumsy panda bear becomes an unlikely kung fu hero when a treacherous enemy spreads chaos throughout the countryside in this animated martial arts adventure featuring the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, and Jackie Chan. On the surface, Po (voice of Black) may look like just another portly panda bear, but beneath his fur he bears the mark of the chosen one. By day, Po works faithfully in his family's noodle shop, but by night he dreams of becoming a true master of the martial arts. Now an ancient prophecy has come to pass, and Po realizes that he is the only one who can save his people from certain destruction. With time running short and malevolent snow leopard Tai Lung (Ian McShane ) closing in, Furious Five legends Tigress (Jolie), Crane (David Cross ), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), Monkey (Chan), and their wise sensei, Master Shifu (Hoffman), all draw on their vast knowledge of fighting skills in order to transform a lumbering panda bear into a lethal fighting machine. Now, if the noble Po can master the martial arts and somehow transform his greatest weaknesses into his greatest strengths, he will fulfill his destiny as the hero who saved his people during their darkest hour. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I love the crap out of this movie. It's hilarious, the animation is beautiful and it takes everything you'd like from new and old Kung Fu movies to make stunning and action packed fight scenes. The voice talent is great too, though of course Jack Black being the most over the top character in this movie stands out the most. There's a nice underlying message about learning to love one's self that I thought was touching. Good for kids AND adults. A must for any kung fu or animation lover. Go buy it nao.

Kung Fu Panda kicks some serious butt!
Added 10/25/2009

Finally!!! An animation about kung fu!! It was about time!
With an influx of animation films to choose from this one was definitely a great find. I think animation should be fun. Animations should also have characters do 'stuff' that live characters cannot. Kung Fu Panda has covered them all with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments with some beautifully exaggerated fight scenes. :) Jack Black brought his distinct comedic style and gave this Panda character and adorable-ness as well as the agility deserving of a kung fu master. I grew up in Hong Kong watching kung fu movies as a part of my regular TV routine and this movie did fantastically in covering the basics of the authentic kung fu film: The underdog who no one believes in, comes through and surprises everyone. There's the serious, yet wise kung fu master. And then there's the wiser kung fu master above him. And of course the funny supporting cast. Perfect. One can never watch enough movies about believing in oneself, can one? So, go out and have some fun! Watch this!

Good kids movie
Added 10/19/2009

This was a good kids movie, it didn't keep the attention of my 2 year old as much as other movies, but I really enjoyed the story and the humor of the movie. I do think this movie is worthy of a sequel and may have the following similar to Sherk, so I think it is worthy of another storyline.

Kung Fu Panda is a story about a fat and lazy panda, named Po, who loves Kung Fu and is tired of his boring life spending all day working in his father's noodle shop. Po is unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five - Tigress, Viper, Mantis, Crane and Monkey - under the leadership of their Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the ruthless warrior. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.

This film was nominated for an Oscar award in 2009

My family enjoyed this movie very much and I hope they come out with a sequel to Kung Fu Panda.
