Hilarious and entertaining with a simple, meaningful message.

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2019)

Such an entertaining movie. You can watch it time and time again and still find another hilarious line or part to quote. The animation is well done and character performances are great. Jack Black is hilarious, doing what he does best with sudden, random outbursts and slapstick humor.
While the humor and story are spectacular, the reason this movie resonates with me so deeply is the message: 'To make something special you just have to believe it's special'. While simple and maybe cheesy, the way the movie showcases this message is incredible. Taking an out of shape Panda who cannot see his toes and transforming him into the Dragon Warrior. It is the same process as making the Secret Ingredient Soup - taking something ordinary and making it extraordinary by believing it is better that it appears to be. Wonderful message. Highly recommend.
