Kung Fu Panda (2008) 9/10

Starring : Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Ian McShane, Jackie Chan
Director : Mark Osborne & John Stevenson
Running Time : 92 mins

A panda named Po (Black) wants nothing more than to see his heroes, the Furious Five, perform their amazing feats of Kung Fu, but he is unwittingly chosen as the fulfilment of a prophecy and is forced to train in the art of Kung Fu with his new master Shifu (Hoffman). But things go from bad to worse when the evil Tai Lung (McShane) escapes from his imprisonment and comes looking to seek revenge against the Furious Five.

I really liked this movie, it was just so cute and funny and filled with great characters and scenarios. Black is perfect as the large and clumsy Po, with Hoffman putting in an admirable performance as his master Shifu. As far as the animation goes, I thought it looked a little too CGI for my liking, but after a while you forget about it and become too engrossed in the plot to realise.
