DVD Synopsis

A clumsy panda bear becomes an unlikely kung fu hero when a treacherous enemy spreads chaos throughout the countryside in this animated martial arts adventure featuring the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, and Jackie Chan. On the surface, Po (voice of Black) may look like just another portly panda bear, but beneath his fur he bears the mark of the chosen one. By day, Po works faithfully in his family's noodle shop, but by night he dreams of becoming a true master of the martial arts. Now an ancient prophecy has come to pass, and Po realizes that he is the only one who can save his people from certain destruction. With time running short and malevolent snow leopard Tai Lung (Ian McShane) closing in, Furious Five legends Tigress (Jolie), Crane (David Cross), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), Monkey (Chan), and their wise sensei, Master Shifu (Hoffman), all draw on their vast knowledge of fighting skills in order to transform a lumbering panda bear into a lethal fighting machine. Now, if the noble Po can master the martial arts and somehow transform his greatest weaknesses into his greatest strengths, he will fulfill his destiny as the hero who saved his people during their darkest hour. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

DVD content was appropriate for children...they love it and will watch it over and over and over... The story line is about believing in yourself.

Not something I would choose to watch as an adult, however - it fell flat with me.

Jack Black gets a lot of buzz for this movie. And, he should. He's funny and brings a warm heart to this character we haven't always seen from his previous roles. However, the true standout is Dustin Hoffman in his first animation role. He receieves almost as much screen time as Black, but delivers his voice performance by immersing himself in the character, transforming himself like we've seen him do many times throughout his Oscar-winning career. It is an actor of the highest quality who would take a voice performance in a film called KUNG FU PANDA as seriously and with as much attention to detail as he would any serious dramatic role. David Cross, Ian McShane and James Hong all deliver great voice performances as well in their supporting roles. Aside from the voice talent on hand here, the animators have really outdone themselves, going above and beyond with breathtaking action sequences (Tylong's escape from jail, the duel for the dumpling, and the bridge sequence all really stand out.), and backrounds that reflect the natural beauty of the chinese mountains we've seen in many live action movies in the past. Kung Fu Panda may be a bit predictable and it really does lean toward a more child-based humor, but it is fun the whole family can enjoy.
