A good animated one from Dreamworks!

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2014)

This is a Dreamworks animated feature, a story about a noodle-shop worker panda named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu. Chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po joins an elite Kung-Fu group and trains alongside the legendary Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. Their trainings come in handy when they must battle the vengeful snow leopard Tai Lung.
The film has the action, tense and adventure of any martial arts-themed movie, and it is counterbalanced with the laugh-out-loud comedy and humor provided by the host of characters including Po, voiced by Jack Black, and Mr. Ping, voiced by James Hong. The Furious Five, voiced by Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogan, Lucy Liu and David Cross each gave a humorous yet determined and courageous performance of their respective characters. Dustin Hoffman gave a commanding and dignified portrayal of Master Shifu and Randall Duk Kim gave a gentle, yet wise performance of the master turtle, Ooogway.
The movie is made in beautiful animation and great visual effects, capturing the many characteristics of China like pagoda-style buildings, magnificent mountains, a spectacular fireworks show, noodle shops, Chinese Characters and chopsticks and glass bowls. Mark Osborne and John Stevenson did an awesome job in directing a movie with adventures in action in abundance, with unforgettable characters marvelously voiced by an all-star case. The writing team of Jonathan Aibel, Glenn Burger, Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris provided a daring story with a touching emphasis on courage, believing in yourself and teamwork. And, Composers John Powell and Hans Zimmer provided a brilliant music score, with beautiful Chinese-style music accompaniment.
Overall, I believe this is one of the better non-Disney animated films I've seen and it is fun and terrific for the entire family.
Grade A
