After various 3D animated movies ranging from lacklustre "star" movies ("Madagascar"), boring tripe ("Shark Tale", "Bee Movie"), and over-rated, over-hyped overkill ("Shrek"), Dreamworks can finally be proud of a truly great film. (Sidebar: I actually enjoyed "Flushed Away" and "Over... Full review

Borrowing from the wuxia martial-arts-as-supernatural-ballet aesthetics that power Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and other similar films, Kung Fu Panda is a far more exciting and abundantly more exhilarating than it has any right to be.

Kung Fu Panda is light and goofy, yet the fight scenes, which are the heart of the film, are lickety-split mad fun.

WITH CHILDHOOD obesity rates finally peaking, I'm not sure now is the time for a hero who saves the day by being fat, but that's "Kung Fu Panda.
