Kung Fu Panda

is actually good. I took my son and his cousin to see this movie. It is well worth the effort. It touch on a lot of positive themes i.e pride hastiness and the necessity of humility and patience.

I just returned from watching it with my entire family (there were ten of us, so it was great that a couple of the kids had won free movie tickets from a recent swim team competition!), and we thought that it was great for kids of all ages. There were some very good moral lessons, as noted by Keon, and there was the bonus of the movie's downplaying of eastern philosophy and religion. There was some of that included to be sure, but much less than could have been the case in a movie of that genre. Even more so, it was just plain funny! At several points in the film the entire audience erupted in laughter, kids and parents alike. The fight scenes were well done, and some of the story was actually quite moving.

We will definitely buy it for the family when it comes out on DVD.

Yep, I went with my wife and five-year-old daughter to see it yesterday afternoon and really enjoyed it.

Well, the monkey was played by Jackie Chan, so I'm pretty sure he did his own.

I was laughing so hard when Tai Lung broke out of prison and had all those Rhinos freaking out.

I may be able to find the real thing but I doubt it. We've tried many times, but whether it is computer software or movies, they're almost always fakes (even when they look real and are packaged as such). Any DVDs we have are staying here - it is a reality of life here, but there's no way they're going to the US.
