Kung Fu Panda animation

"[It] is not one of the great recent animated films. The story is way too predictable, and truth to tell, Po himself didn't overwhelm me with his charisma. But it's elegantly drawn, the action sequences are packed with energy, and it's short enough (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"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)" 

"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" 

"A nice looking but heavily formulaic DreamWorks animation entry" 

"[It] embraces humor that plays well across age groups and nationalities (...) The stroke of genius is, of course, the film's hero" 

"The fighting scenes are fluid and fast-paced. The scenery borders on breathtaking, and the character design is topnotch (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Hands down the most visually striking of DreamWorks Animation's releases"
