A CG-animated comedy about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, Po, who must somehow become a Kung Fu Master in order to save the Valley of Peace from a villainous snow leopard, Tai Lung. Set in the legendary world of ancient China, this is the story of Po, our unlikely hero, who enters the rigid world of Kung Fu and turning it upside down. Po ultimately becomes a Kung Fu hero by learning that if he believes in himself, he can do anything The Dragon Warrior has to clash against the savage Tai Lung as China's fate hangs in the balance: However, the Dragon Warrior mantle is supposedly mistaken to be bestowed upon an obese panda who is a tyro in martial arts. I had the fortune of seeing this film the same day I saw another Dreamworks film in the theater–MONSTERS VS. ALIENS. Because of this experience, I think I enjoyed KUNG FU PANDA much more, as by comparison it was a much better film. In fact, though the Oscar folks would heartily disagree, I even enjoyed it more than last year's Oscar winner, WALL-E. That's because while these other films looked exceptionally nice, KUNG FU PANDA actually looked as good but offered a lot more entertainment and fun. Sure, it wasn't as deep as WALL-E, but it was enjoyable and didn't try to be a message film. And MONSTERS VS. ALIENS had a great idea, but the laughs were rather sparse.<br/><br/>The film is essentially a story about a young panda learning that he has a lot of heart and skills deep within–in other words, it was a lot like THE KARATE KID. But it also had a lovely artistry that I admired–-the scenery and style looked very Chinese (although too many voice actors were non-Asians).<br/><br/>I could say a lot more, but now it's a year after the film debuted and there are a bazillion reviews already. Suffice to say that I was surprised that I liked this film so much–it made me smile and was fun from start to finish. Kung Fu Panda is better than most Dreamworks animated films, using a screenplay with quite a few clever moments to tell the simple story of a panda who becomes an unlikely kung-fu hero. <br/><br/>Po serves as a fairly standard main character, longing to escape his dull life at a noodle restaurant and train as a martial artist. Unfortunately, he's a panda, rotund and uncoordinated, so he's stuck where he is. This changes when a prophecy reveals him as a Dragon Warrior, and he's taken to train with the kung-fu masters he's idolized: the Furious Five. <br/><br/>The movie is light on character and plot, we've seen these movies many times before: the underdog who perseveres to victory, and we have the montage sequence and menacing villains, colorful supporting characters. Jack Black gives a good performance as the voice of Po, same for Dustin Hoffman as a diminutive kung-fu sage. The Furious Five voice talent boasts some impressive names behind it, a shame since they're mostly relegated to shouts and grunts. <br/><br/>Character design was interesting, I was especially taken with the turtle and the glowing eyes of the tigers, and the background paintings were exquisite. Perhaps it's sad, then, that the actual martial arts sequences were often disappointing, they move so fast and feature so much camera-work that they become hard to follow. <br/><br/>All in all, Kung Fu Panda takes a familiar story and does it well, not much substance, but mostly fun, with a good dash of wit, charm, and nice presentation. They really went all-out on the color in this movie, itself a visual feast. The opening scene and end credits feature a hand-drawn style, and is certainly worth a few more points towards Dreamworks. <br/><br/>Those seeking light entertainment should check it out, and I think kids may enjoy it, though some of the battle scenes might be a bit scary for them. I report that it left a smile on my face; not beaming, like How to Train Your Dragon, but smiling nonetheless. Everything about Kung Fu Panda is a little better, a little sharper, a little funnier than the animated run of the mill. He is a Red Panda. In Kung Fu Panda, ShiFu, the red panda has seven students who each practice a different style of Kung Fu (leopard, tiger, crane, monkey, mantis, snake and bear). Tigress uses Tiger Claw Kung Fu System; Crane uses Fujian White Crane Kung Fu; Monkey uses Monkey Kung Fu; Viper uses Snake Kung Fu; Mantis uses Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu; and Tai Lung uses Leopard Kung Fu.<br/><br/>Tiger Claw Kung Fu System (Tigress): "Tiger Claw Kung Fu System has its origins in Hoy Hong Temple. The system was modeled after the demeanor and fighting strategy of an attacking tiger. The striking movements are lightning fast, agile and powerful. Techniques unique to Tiger Claw Kung Fu System are ripping, tearing, clawing and grasping applications. a5c7b9f00b Bonnie and Clyde sub downloadEpisode 2.12 full movie free downloadthe Just in Case hindi dubbed free downloadthe 2 X 2 downloadGarrison7: The Road to Garrison 7 movie mp4 downloadExtremedays full movie in hindi 720pthe Reign full movie in hindi free downloadTokyo Ghoul: Jack full movie in hindi free download mp4Kim Possible: So the Drama full movie in hindi free download mp4Rise to the Occasion full movie free download
