2008 Directed by Mark Osborne, John Stevenson
When the Valley of Peace is threatened, lazy Po the panda discovers his destiny as the "chosen one" and trains to become a kung fu hero, but transforming the unsleek slacker into a brave warrior won't be easy. It's up to Master Shifu and the Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- to give it a try.

Wtf why this movie so damn good? It's absolutely stunning from an animation perspective and delivers a story with a surprising amount of emotional heft. Incredible fight scenes, great characters, striking colors, the works. One of the best DreamWorks movies by far
So many great quotes in this movie.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."
"There are no accidents"
"Your mind is like this water, my friend. When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear."
"Anything is possible when you have inner peace."
"We often meet our destiny on the road we take to avoid it."
My favorite Dreamworks film. Intelligent message about secret ingredients and dragon scrolls and their relation to the misleading psychoanalytics of identity and desire.
One of the finest films to come out of DreamWorks Animation's canon and certainly their funniest film to date, Kung Fu Panda is an energetic blend of kinetic direction, smart writing, sparkling wit, vibrant camerawork, tight editing, first-rate animation & exuberant score that not only works as a downright hilarious comedy but also as a thrilling action extravaganza & a fascinating coming-of-age story.
Set in ancient China, which is populated by anthropomorphic talking animals, the story of Kung Fu Panda follows a cheeky, clumsy & squishy giant panda named Po who aspires of becoming a kung fu master. His wish is granted when he's unexpectedly proclaimed as Dragon Warrior who will fulfil an ancient prophecy but finds himself to be the subject of…
Kung Fu Panda (2008) was a lot better than I was expecting it to be.
I remember liking it when I was younger but that was a long time ago and I wasn’t sure if it would hold up but fortunately it does.
This has some of the most captivating action sequences I’ve ever seen and this is coming from someone who isn’t a fan of action films.
Being animated helps as it gives the choreographer greater control over movements and so the fight scenes are a lot more precise.
The colors are vibrant and there are some stunning wide shots. But textures looked somewhat plastic-y up close.
I know it was 2008 but this was released in theaters alongside Wall-E…
Kung Fu Panda is a breath-takingly animated film that is at once a loving homage to a variety of martial-art film moments and a tender look at a relationship in a single parent household between a father (James Hong) and son (Jack Black as the title panda). Character design, voice talent and action pieces are vibrant and supremely executed. I can't stress enough how fantastic the voice cast is.
There are few animated features that can match K.F.P. for wit, humor and creativity. The panda, Po, states in the opening that there is no charge for awesomeness and attractiveness. I paid $8 to see it in the theatre, and $15 for the blu-ray. Your false claim aside, it was well worth it Po.
watching this movie as a child i recall adoring it therefore I assumed my opinion was probably blinded by nostalgia and i wouldn’t like it as much. i was wrong. it holds up so well and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought i would. hopefully the other two are just as good. also never related to anything more than po only doing good when there’s food involved

'Kung Fu Panda' is an unexpectedly enjoyable and fun movie. One of the best comedy movies I've seen, this animation feature is both packed with action and intelligent at the same time. It's yet another variation on "You can do anything if you believe in yourself" and carries strong morale and educational message. But the way it's done, the incredible visual side of the story, as well as the dialogs, is just amazing. You can't but love the fat Panda boy who's dreaming about being the greatest warrior of all China only to wake up to the reality of having to serve noodle soup in his father's shop. Hans Zimmer and John Powell team up…
Okay but this is really really good? I can’t believe I slept on this for so long. The animation is so beautiful like those shots of the sunset were stunning.
The action scenes were really well done and entertaining and there were a lot of them. But they were all so different that it didn’t feel repetitive.
Sometimes the comedy didn’t work well for me but other than that... I might be a kung fu standa
serious question: why isn't this NEAR PERFECT PIECE OF FILMMAKING NOT ON THE LETTERBOXD TOP 250???
