Never Judge a Movie by it's Cover

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2015)

Talk about a movie that takes the cinema world by storm. A movie that is not only outstanding but masterful in making Kung Fu look awesome and respects it. A movie where the people of DreamWorks can look back and be proud of this achievement. This is DreamWork's first big hit critically and financially since Shrek 2 in 2004. Kung Fu Panda is made in 2008 with a major comeback from last year's Shrek the Third. But now what do I love about the film? Firstly they touch on the most important elements that make an animated film great or good. That is: Story, Animation, Music and Characters. All are done wonderfully. The story is creative, heartfelt, funny, and action packed. On the side note I do love that they use 2d animation for the opening sequence which is an artistic wonder to see. They actually give it an anime type feel. Then we get to my favorite part of the film: the characters. It's been a while since I've seen a group of character I actually enjoy not being just one. My favorite character out of all of them is not Po even though he is hilarious. That prize goes to Tigress. Right when I first see her I get this feeling of pain and sort of feel sorry for her considering what we learn about her in the film. I really hope they go into more detail about her as the franchise goes on. She's the most interesting and mysterious of the character because judging by the way she is makes me think that she must have gone through a lot in her life that just hasn't been reveled yet. The rest of the character are good themselves. I like Shifu because they don't do the typical wise old master of martial arts. But he actually always seems unsure and rough around the edges. As for Po who is perfectly voiced by Jack Black is the most unique hero since Mulan. He makes me laugh more then any other character. As a whole this film is without a doubt a classic that should be acknowledged by every generation. Story: A Characters: A Animation: A Music: B+ Overall: A
