Lovable Panda

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2014)

Po (Jack Black) is a panda who is a big fan of Kung Fu. Master Oogway is about to pick the Dragon Warrior when Po stumble into the ceremony. To the dismay of the Furious Five and Master Shifu, Po is picked the Dragon Warrior. Po is chubby, and inexperienced. When the powerful Tai Lung escapes from prison, everybody must battle to save the valley.
The animation looks great. Importantly, the characters are fun. Jack Black sets the tone, and he's perfect as Po. He's played the bumbling good nature fool before in other movies. As a cartoon character, he even more lovable.
The story is fairly predictable. It's really straight forward. The script doesn't have the modern references so prevalent today. It's not the most impressive part of the movie.
However the action is energetic. Po is hilarious. And the animation is cute. That's what makes this stand out among so many animated movie.
