Kung Fu Panda
I’ve always been a die hard aficionado of animated movies, and I try not to miss any! But it’s also true that most of the animated movies I have seen have invariably been on DVD, I guess I don’t have the right company or maybe the opportunity to sit through a movie in the hall. But nonetheless, I pride myself at having seen most of the animated movies. My latest viewing treat was (of the animated variety) Kung Fu Panda. With voices of Jack Black as Po, Angelina Jolie as the Tigress, Lucy Liu as the Viper, Jackie Chan as the monkey, Dustin Hoffman as Master Shifu.

As all movies of the animated kind go, this to had a plot to defeat-a-bad-guy and over-come-obstacles and rise-to-the-occasion by the lead character/ protagonist! So the movie didn’t let me down!

There are no particular morals in the story except for ‘there is no secret ingredient’. This literally means that his father added nothing to his ‘secret ingredient soup’ to make it scrumptious, you only need to believe in the ‘secret ingredient’. There is nothing more to it than that! If you believe in something, you can make it happen. Among the Furious Five, the Tigress resented
There are no stale jokes, no cute animals jumping about all cuddly, no serious issues being discussed (example- the Lion King was about Simba avenging his father’s murder, or Aerial giving up her voice for love etc. yes these are serious issues in an animated movie!). This movie was good entertainment nonetheless!
