What a real Chinese panda!

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2008)

The reason why I saw this film in the very first place is because it relates to the Chinese culture and Chinese features, especially, Chinese Kungfu. Though a Chinese I am, I am not a big fan of Chinese Kungfu and quite indifferent about the animated film. But, after I finished the Kungfu Panda, I was indeed carried away to the ancient China by the film which unravels the 100 percent pure Chinese culture and features- Chinese Kungfu of course, Chinese Zen culture from the words of Master Wugui(turtle), Chinese settings( pine trees, high mountains, temples, music and garments as well), and, hilariously, a few Chinese words( Chi-eat, Wugui-turtle, Shifu-master, just to name a few).
Besides all the Chinese features, the film alone also is highly impressive with the laugh-out-loud funny leading character Po the Panda, the heart-pounding Kungfu fighting, and the inevitable but must life philosophy not in the pedantic way. What I like best of the film is the ending, when Master Shifu finally found his inner peace, Po the panda disturbed him once again unintentionally with his innocence regardless of his awesome record of beating the Tailang. What a Panda!
I wish that China could produce its own animated Chinese Kungfu Panda, dragon, or whatever, but when it couldn't, it's also very nice to see America did it and, especially, presented the real deal of Chinese culture. Thanks a lot!
