Almost perfectly balanced

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2018)

A near perfect balance of deep philosophy & comedy.
The Master / disciple relationship between
1. Oogway / Randall Duk Kim & Shifu / Dustin Hoffman ( in Oogway's higher state of evolution / serenity & Shifu's impatience in not catching up with his master's level of being evolved & the resulting ' inner peace ' that Shifu craves )
2. .... & in turn between Shifu & Po/Jack Black ( With Shifu trying to hang on to Oogways final exhortation to ' believe ' , while convincing Po in turn that he can achieve the impossible ( which Shifu himself opposed before Oogway's departure ) is beautifully etched in the movie .
This film is the journey of both Master ( Shifu ) & disciple ( Po ) in their pursuit for perfection - Shifu's pursuit of inner peace and Po's pusuit of Kung fu.
James Hong voices Po's loving , fussy , industrious father .
All the supporting roles are done well except for the tigress / Anjelina Jolie - a rather dull character who added little to the film , but took up so much space.
Jack Black has done a stellar job & Oogway is by far , the most memorable cartoon character I've come across.
