Say Cheese :)

Kung Fu Panda The 2008 American animated comedy blockbuster.

The most visually striking of DreamWorks Animation's release.

Directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne and produced by Melissa Cobb and star Jack Black as Po.

Kung Fu Panda follows the adventures of a portly panda named Po (Voice of Jack Black) as he attempts to find his destiny as the legendary Dragon Warrior.

An out of shape Po, the unlikely child of a duck (James Hong), longs to escape his "destiny" as a great chef.He had a dream of gread of being a dragon worrior.

When the opportunity arises to meet his heroes the Furious Five, he attempts to skip his familial duties and attends the naming of the Dragon Warrior. There Po does make some sort of accidental impression. To everyone's shock, When the time has come for Shifu's master, Master Oogway to choose the Dragon Warrior, instead of selecting one of the highly trained stars, he somehow chooses the buffoonish, overeating Po. This leads to the distress of Red Panda master Shifu and his students, the legendary “Furious Five” but Master Oogway tells them that there are no accidents and this is indeed Po's destiny.

However, when word reaches the Five that Tai Lung, who was once a good guy but turned to the dark side, has escaped from prison,Po has to get into shape fast, so he begins training under Master Shifu.

Initially Po would be ridiculed by his peers (THE FURIOUS FIVE), but eventually becomes a warrior under the unconventional tutor, Shifu.

The film is excellently animated throughout, particularly during the opening fantasy sequence

There are also some stunning action set pieces, most notably Tai Lung's breathtaking escape from jail and Po's dumpling chase fight with Shifu,

Wildly choreographed fight scenes, aerial kicks and punches and flips and spins and blocks, all of it sprung free from gravity.It was a brilliant Cartoon with stunning artwork and very cool kung-fu.

Po the Panda is a very likeable character most of the time, and the backstory with Master Shifu and Tai Lung is a good idea.

And the voice work is also superb: Hoffman and Black make a terrific comic team, sparking off each other nicely and delivering some hilarious gags. Meanwhile, Jolie and Rogen add colour as Tigress and Mantis, whilst McShane is perfectly cast as the evil Tai Lung.

The Furious Five:

From left to right: Masters Viper, Monkey, Mantis (on Monkey's head), Master Shifu, Tigress, and Crane.

Shifu (voice of DUSTIN HOFFMAN). Tigress (voice of ANGELINA JOLIE), Monkey (voice of JACKIE CHAN), Mantis (voice of SETH ROGEN), Viper (voice of LUCY LIU) and Crane (voice of DAVID CROSS),

No martial-arts movie is complete without a fair dose of philosophizing.

From Oogway we learn that "There are no accidents" and "One often meets his destiny on the road to avoid it" and "Today is a gift, that is why it is called the present".

"Kung Fu Panda" is a good-looking fun ride, yet it's missing something. Po's transformation happens too quickly, which is slightly disappointing, the script never allows us to see his training in total, only in an all-too-brief montage in the film's middle. We're missing at least a handful of scenes about his the training and what exactly Master Shifu puts him through to get to the final point.

Cable network Nickelodeon has announced,TheKung Fu Panda,is to be turned into a cartoon TV series.

"Kung Fu Panda" relies on the delightful appearance of its characters, the sounds of its voice cast, and the brilliance of its CGI animation, to help it succeed

On the whole The film attempts some harmless jokes from time to time,

Enjoyable, brightly coloured and well animated, funny, exciting entertaining adventure that will appeal to both kids and adults

It’s a great flick for the whole family.

Kung Fu Panda 2 has official begun production and is slated for release on June 3rd, 2011.

I think it would be great if they come up with “Kung Fu Penguin" as well.

Howz that?
