Critics' reviews

"The nicest surprise about Kung Fu Panda is that it's so much better than the goofy-cutesy title would lead you to expect (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"

Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Everything about Kung Fu Panda is a little better, a little sharper, a little funnier than the animated run of the mill. It's one of the few comedies of 2008 that knows what it's doing"

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"A nice looking but heavily formulaic DreamWorks animation entry"

Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
