Kung Fu Panda - Awesome Awesome Awesome movie

Hey All,

My wife and I watched Kung Fu Panda over the weekend and it was an awesome experience. The animation was fabulous, the dialogs were funny and most of all the fun factor was huge. We had a lot of laughs and one time i almost choked on my soda, so be careful :)

Out of all the characters, I loved the Old turtle master (sorry, his name slips my memory.) He is an extremely old turtle and appears to have no teeth when he speaks. The best thing that I liked about him was the slight wobble of his head when he spoke, just as what you would observe in very elderly people. I can imagine the difficulty of making him act while at the same time wobbling his head in a very rhythmic motion. To me doing both would be a little distracting and undoubtedly tougher than simply making a character act.


The Panda is adorable while the Tigress creates and awe about herself with her calm and composed yet menacing style. The other characters are okay but nothing that would make you notice them. Monkey has been voiced over by Jackie Chan and has a teeny tiny role. Personally, I think he was under-utilized but then English isn't one of Jackie's strong points. If you can't see his awesome stunts on screen, listening to his voice doesn't hold much appeal.

I would suggest this movie to anyone who loves to see animated animals at their best.

Hi Maddy! I'm sure the movie is great.Hopefully, I'll get a chance to watch it this weekend.The panda actually looks like Jack Black. It's amazing to me how they get the animals to strongly resemble the actors/actresses who are doing the voices ;)

P.S. I like your pic!
