Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Light and goofy, yet the fight scenes, which are the heart of the film, are lickety-split mad fun.
90
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
The stroke of genius is, of course, the film's hero -- the big, lovable bear that is the Chinese panda.
88
Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
Everything about Kung Fu Panda is a little better, a little sharper, a little funnier than the animated run of the mill.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
This is a solid family film material, although one suspects the children will get a little more out of it than their parents.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Not one of the great recent animated films. The story is way too predictable, and truth to tell, Po himself didn't overwhelm me with his charisma. But it's elegantly drawn, the action sequences are packed with energy, and it's short enough that older viewers will be forgiving.
