Product Description
Clumsy Po the panda dreams of becoming a kung fu master when he is invited to study with legendary fighters under the leadership of Master Shifu.
What's a panda to do when his dreams of kung-fu awesomeness awake to the cold reality of noodle-making? Clumsy, overweight Po (Jack Black) dreams of becoming a kung fu master like China's revered "furious five," but instead seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather in the restaurant business. When great leader Oogway has a vision that the imprisoned kung fu warrior Tai Lung (Ian McShane) will soon escape, he declares it time to choose China's dragon warrior--one kung fu master deemed worthy of possessing the dragon's scroll and its secret to limitless power. Po and all the townspeople rush to the Jade Palace atop the highest mountain to witness the contest between Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogan), Crane (David Cross) and Viper (Lucy Liu), but Po is locked outside the palace. After a miracle of sorts, Po lands inside the palace gates, where he is chosen as the dragon warrior and placed under the tutelage of the decidedly non-plussed master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman). An unconventional student to say the least, hilarity reigns as Shifu tries desperately to make Po into some semblance of a kung fu warrior. Can Po possibly fulfill his destiny as dragon warrior, or was Oogway's final decision a critical mistake? A film rich with hilarious moments, superior animation, and an important message about believing in oneself and the power that comes from within, Kung Fu Panda is great entertainment that will have the whole family laughing and begging for more. (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Boy I wish more movies were like this today^^ August 12, 2010

I absolutely love this movie. IT takes me back to many of the old Kung-fu movies I wish Hollywood still made.
The story follows Po (Jack Black). A young goofy Panda who works in a soup kitchen by his father side. His father eagerly awaits the day he will take over the soup kitchen, but Po has other dreams. Po wishes to one day become the strongest Kung-fu warrior there ever was and fight along the noctorious Furious Five.
I won't say more because I don't want to give away too much, but this is definately one of the best animated movies I've seen since the Incredibles. The cinemagraphy for the action scenes in this movie are intense and had me on the edge of my seat. There was one scene in particular I found myself just sitting and looking at in awe from just how brilliant it was. There was also a training segment that was just breathtaking in its visual style. Its very reminiscent of old Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and Jackie Chan movies. The movie itself looks extremely good. The lighting and detail made it fun to look at.I also found it clever that the all the furious Five are basically chosen and named after martial art styles. Don't even get me started on the main villian. He was definatly one of the best things about the movie. He was brutal, somewhat missunderstood because he was raised in a way that lead to his fall, almost unstoppable, and just powerful. The story is actually kind of dark later on, but holds a message to it that I would expect in a martial arts movie like this.
Even though I'm giving this 5 stars there is one thing in particular I didn't like. The Furious Five are voiced by Jackie Chan, Angelina Jolie, and other very familiar actors, but they are barely given any dialogue in the movie. Not only that they didn't really go too deeply into the characters of the Furious Five. I know theres a second bonus dvd that they were selling in Walmart with the movie (I actually own both) that tells thier backstory, but I would have still loved if thier characters were given more time on screen. If they make a sequal, and I really hope they do, I wish they would flesh out thier characters a little more.
Kung-fu panda I admit won't be for everyone, expecially those who aren't into kungfu action films or overprotective parents who think anything that isn't barney level is too violent for kids. Kung-Fu Panda is a great homage to the action movies I love. Its original, fun, and just plain awesome. Its worth a buy for both children and adults to enjoy.
A family classic August 11, 2010

I bought the film for my young nephews and I found myself really enjoying it. Jack Black was hilarious as Po the misfit panda who always wanted to learn Kung Fu and finally gets his chance which atarts out as disaster then he turns into a dragon master. I liked it as an adult, I think it's just like Beverly Hills Ninja only animated.
