The lazy and irreverent panda, Po, must somehow become a kungfu 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 kungfu and turns it upside down. Po ultimately becomes a hero by learning that if he believes in himself, he can do anything.
Kung Fu Panda involves an overweight, clumsy panda named Po living in the Valley of Peace who is expected to take care of his family's noodle shop. While he can only dream about being a kung fu master, the dreams became reality by accident when he climbed a thousand steps to the Jade Palace to witness the next Dragon Warrior.
Po's enthusiasm with Kung Fu and the chore of learning it in the shortest time possible to fill the prophecy somehow reminds me of Michael Angarano in "Forbidden Kingdom", and heck it even have a Master Monkey in there.
The voices in the Cantonese version are forgettable, and there are hardly any lines from Jackie Chan, Josie Ho & Sam Lee while Eason Chan steals the limelight. The lines are too forgettable and there weren't many sarcastic or witty lines going on like the English version has.
However, on the whole this movie is a whole load of fun for the family and will keep both children and adults alike entertained, especially towards Chinese mother-tongued kids and adults.
