There are a few good gags, a well-milled pace that keeps the action flowing, and some funny enough one-liners to tickle adult fancies. Although as a total package it’s horrifically bland and forgettable the moment the credits start.

Rated: 2/5

A story of friendship and respect without great pretensions. [Full review in Spanish]

A courageous panda, his dragon friend and a royal lion cub with a scheming uncle – Panda Bear in Africa repackages its influences so shamelessly that you almost have to give it credit.

Rated: 3/5

Although the animation is adequate, and the only thing salvageable, it does not offer anything truly innovative... [Full review in Spanish]

It has some good points for kids. However, like others have said, it kinda feels like a rip off of a few other movies that have come before. 2.25/5

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

It's has a quite good story, but I can't really recommend it since of its animation; it looks like a ripoff of Kung Fu Panda.
