Kungfu Panda: 4.25/5

Cast: Voices of - Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, etc

In a nutshell: LMAO

Brief synopsis: An enthusiastic clumsy and somewhat overweight panda must learn kung fu so that he can save his village


It has been a while since I have come out of the cinema feeling satisfied, so Kungfu Panda certainly hit the spot. It only marginally loses points for a few minor considerations. The animation as not quite as sharp and the premise not quite as original as some of those other CGI movies out there. It didn't evoke as much emotion as I would have liked, perhaps because the characters, in particular the evil dude, are a little stereotypical and not meaty enough. But these are minor quibbles. The charm and the non-stop laughs make up for anything that might be missing. Jack Black is fabulous as the Panda, reminiscent of the fun that Robin Williams brought to the Genie in Aladdin.
