"Prepare for awesomeness!"

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2011)

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.
Animation comes in variety. The ones I only watch are Pixar movies but once and a while Dreamworks can come with something original. Hence Kung Fu Panda! Kung Fu Panda is a hilarious journey through the veins of kung fu. And funny enough, it stars a big fat panda. Although not a big fan of Jack Black's work, this movie shows his true potential. The voice acting is fun, the movie is fun, and everything in between is fun. Kung Fu Panda's animation works greatly in all directions and I loved the opening story that's directed as if a motion comic. Kung Fu Panda also shows heart, for the first time in Dreamwork animation history! If you can look past the not-too frequent toilet humor, you can see the story shows real emotion. It's not quite as magical as Pixar's magic, but Kung Fu Panda proves Dreamworks worth at real animation movie-making! I cannot wait until Kung Fu Panda 2 (which has been receiving lots of good reviews) and any future projects of Dreamworks like this one. Kudos! 8/10.
