Pure Fun - No Secret Ingredient

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2008)

Kung Fu Panda is pure unadulterated fun. At the center of it is a very likable Panda. He dreams of being a kung fu warrior while working along side his father as a noodles cook. Unknown to him, it is his destiny to be a great kung fu warrior, defeat another evil warrior and bring peace to his town and master.
Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman lend their voices to the film and bring their characters alive. The Panda, in fact feels very much like what Jack Black is in most of his films - a chubby underdog. At the root of it, of course, Kung Fu Panda emphasizes on the simple principles of believing in oneself and victory of good over evil - like all fables and fairy tales.
The animation is high quality and very detailed. The action sequences have pace, are eventful and fantastic.
