Although it's aimed primarily at youngsters, "Kung Fu Panda" embraces humor that plays well across age groups and nationalities. Certainly the sustained applause at its Cannes Film Festival world premiere here bodes well for international box office success. The film opens domestically on June 6.
The stroke of genius is, of course, the film's hero: the big, lovable bear that is the Chinese panda. Sweet looking, perhaps a bit clumsy, seemingly unflappable, what could be an odder hero for a kung fu movie? Transforming a panda named Po -- voiced by big, lovable Jack Black -- into a kung fu fighter to save a threatened village in ancient times is essentially the entire movie. |
Not every MA film has to be serious fighting! There has to be some light hearted stuff, too.

Black Belt Magazine did a piece on this new movie. It sounds like it will be pretty good. I want to see it.
