Kung Fu Panda is a riot of color and beautiful animation. This is an engaging, charming, delightful, fun, synonyms-ad-infinitum movie. Po, the wannabe Kung Fu Panda, is knowledgeable about all things concerning Kung Fu, except how to do Kung Fu. By a strange twist of fate, he is chosen to learn Kung Fu from the Furious Five, and their master, Shifu. He must attain the status of Dragon Warrior to defeat the evil Tai Lung who is coming to reek vengence. One of the most entertaining sequences is the fight over a steamed dumpling between Po and Master Shifu. It's worth the price of admission all by itself. The vocal talents of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, and others are perfectly cast in this fun-for-all-ages movie.
