Ever seen a panda do Kung Fu?

Neither has anyone in the Valley of Peace, but when Po (Jack Black) appears to have all the markings of ‘The Chosen One’, the Kung Fu masters must train him before it is too late and peace is lost forever!

‘Kung Fu Panda’ has an all-star cast lending their voices to this animated masterpiece, Dustin Hoffman plays Po’s reluctant teacher, Shifu, helped on by other masters including Angelina Jolie as Master Tigress, Lucy Liu as Master Viper and Jackie Chan as Master Monkey.

Ian McShane (Lovejoy) is the voice of the villainous Tai Lung, a ferociously powerful snow leopard, who breaks out of prison, intent on using his Kung Fu skills to destroy the Valley of Peace.

Review(s):

Child's review:

It was amazing. I saw this at the Imax and the screen was enormous!

Po (the panda) is chosen to be a King Fu master and he has to be trained to fight the evil Tai Lung. He finds it very hard to learn but does it in the end and beats him making the whole village safe.

There are lots of really funny bits during the film and I laughed lots. I want to go and see it again - I love King Fu!!

Adult's review:
This is a great film that had both the kids and adults laughing the whole way through.

The story line was easilly followed by both my children (aged 4 and 6).

The language and content was absolutely fine. The only problem may be that there are non kosher animals in the film for those who would be bothered by this.

The graphics were great and the film gave everyone a great afternoon out. Thoroughly recommended for all the family!
