Kung Fu Panda

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2010)

Aim High, Fly high The movie 'Kung Fu Panda' is a great movie. It was one of the most impressive movies I've ever seen. It is an animation about Kung Fu, but made by America. I am just curious about why Americans are interested in Kung Fu so much. Instead of Taekwondo which is Korea's. But this movie is the one of my favorite movies. I can't take my eyes off it from the beginning until the end because it is very unique, cute, interesting and creative movie.
Kung Fu Panda is the story of Po. Po is a sweet, kind, but clumsy and fat Panda who has great dreams that save the world. Po has no experience of Kung Fu, but he wants be a warrior who fight with furious five warriors. He is a son of a cook. So his real job is serving noodles at his dad's noodle shop. One day, he heard some good news about selecting the Dragon Warrior from the Jade Temple. So everyone wants to go to the celebration to see the competition is between Tigress, Viper, Crane, Monkey and Mantis. They are well-known warriors and they are popular.
Po accidentally enters the contest and is named the Dragon Warrior. Master Shifu must find a way to train Po and make him a Kung Fu Master. The special teaching for Po with delicious food is very impressive. At last Po is trained well because he want to eat some delicious food. So he can practice Kung Fu over and over. I think Shifu is a great teacher, because he teaches learner's centered education.
This is a cute animated comedy that also inspires lessons in life. The audience can relate to people who have dreams of doing the impossible, just as Po. Po is not handsome, not smart, he is fat. Frankly speaking, he looks like a loser. But his dream is amazing and his passion is great. So his dream comes true. He becomes a hero. Po learns that if he believes in himself, he can do anything. This film is for the whole family, because adults will enjoy the movie just as much as their children. So let's aim high, fly high like Po. Even Po can make his great dreams comes true.
I Love it! The story was great and the background was beautiful, it really felt like an ancient Chinese city. Especially Tigress's voice is attractive. It's Angelina Jolie's voice.
The movie made us happy and laugh a lot. It was perfect because it has comedy, heart, and action, all necessary elements in a successful and great animation film.
I let my students see it at school and they enjoyed it, too! We were totally laughing, smiling from beginning to finish. and I downloaded the script of it, and make some blanks for my students. They could fill the blanks with joy. It was a good activity.
I want to recommend this movie strongly to everybody.
