Kung Fu Panda has been on my radar ever since it dropped and more specifically, checking out my
Hold List, it has been lanuishing for the past 3 years on said list. Well, I was finally able to cross this off my list and it was way better than I thought it would be. I knew that
Jack Black would bring it as he always does. But I wasn't sure about the story or if it would be good or just childish. Happy to say that it delivered in being a smart and funny "
Rocky" type of underdog arc. There are some genuinely funny moments that had me laughing out loud. I loved the characters and the likes of
Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Ian McShane, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Randall Duk Kim, James Hong, and
Jackie Chan were all great in their respective roles. I had no idea that
Michael Clarke Duncan was in this who also did a great job. Anyway, this is a definite
Rent. Great story, great voice work, great animation. You're in for a great time. Check it out.
