Kung Fu Panda is an American animated comedy film which was first released in 2008. It was directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne and runs for 92 minutes. It features the voices of many famous actors and actresses and is set in ancient China.

~The Plot~
I won't give too much away about the plot as it spoils it for those reviewers who have not yet had the pleasure of seeing the movie. The film centres around Po - an overweight, unfit panda who works in the noodle business with his father but dreams of better things. He aspires to be a kung-fu expert but doesn't stand a chance in hell of ever becoming that.
A chance encounter sees Po chosen as the dragon warrior and the movie follows him being trained by kung-fu expert Master Shifu in order to defeat the much feared Tai Lung (a snow leapord) who is descending on the town in order to seek revenge on Master Shifu for past encounters. Only the dragon warrior would be capable of defeating Tai Lung, a highly trained kung-fu expert and its Master Shifus job to train Po mentally and physically to the highest standard of Kung-Fu in very little time to defeat Tai Lung. Does he do it? - Well watch the film and see!!!!

~Cast~
Obviously with the characters being animated no actors/actresses actually appear on screen themselves. However the film has a large array of stars voices playing the loveable creatures.

Po - Jack Black
Master Shifu - Dustin Hoffman
Master Tigress - Angelina Jolie
Tai Lung - Ian McShane
Master Viper - Lucy Liu
Master Monkey - Jackie Chan

~Watchable?~
With such a high quality cast working behind the scenes on this film, you know you are guaranteed a high quality film and you will not be disappointed. Obviously a film of this genre is aimed mainly at children but I watched it with the whole family with young children, teenagers and adults and every single one of us enjoyed it.

My usually hyperactive son who will not sit still for anything was glued to the screen for the whole hour and a half and I myself, found it thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable. This is a really feel-good kind of movie that I could quite happily watch again and again.

The quality of the animation is fantastic and can't be faulted. The scripts were comical and witty, yet basic too meaning young children won't have a problem following the storyline.

There was always plenty going on throughout the film so children don't get bored. For me the length of the film was just right too. For a film such as this you really don't want it going on for more than an hour and a half and this film is exactly that.

~Summary~
For a film that the whole family can watch together then this is the perfect choice. Im not generally a fan of animated films, but this one had me hooked. A great film for children and adults in my opinion.

Clever, witty, comical and with so many famous faces behind the characters, how could it possibly fail!! A fabulous animated film that I could watch again and again. Loved it!!

For some reason my 6 year old stepdaughter hated this film. I really enjoyed it though.
