3/4
There's something about the look of Kung Fu Panda that is so novel and pleasing. Perhaps it's just that we haven't seen this vintage, Far East world in a computer-animated movie before. Go to Full Review
Bruce Diones The New Yorker 11/22/2013
The animation work is dazzling; it's lovingly detailed without being overdone (particularly the opening sequence, which is hand-drawn and looks like prints struck from ancient woodblocks). Go to Full Review

3/5
As the credits roll, the film's many flaws come sharply into focus. But while it lasts, Kung-Fu Panda is something of a guilty treat. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Just by reading the title, one could immediately imagine the concept of “Kung Fu Panda”: a big, chubby animal who has to learn martial arts to save the world or something. But fortunately, the movie ended up being something MORE. Full review in Spanish. Go to Full Review

4/5
The anthropomorphic version of Ancient China is full of fun and good life lessons as a panda learns how to be the Dragon Warrior. Go to Full Review

3/4
There's not much to Kung Fu Panda, and it's gratingly predictable, but it's also entertaining, colorful, funny, and easy to enjoy.  Go to Full Review
