There's something about the look of Kung Fu Panda that is so novel and pleasing. Perhaps it's just that we haven't seen this vintage, Far East world in a computer-animated movie before.

The animation work is dazzling; it's lovingly detailed without being overdone (particularly the opening sequence, which is hand-drawn and looks like prints struck from ancient woodblocks).

As the credits roll, the film's many flaws come sharply into focus. But while it lasts, Kung-Fu Panda is something of a guilty treat.

Just by reading the title, one could immediately imagine the concept of “Kung Fu Panda”: a big, chubby animal who has to learn martial arts to save the world or something. But fortunately, the movie ended up being something MORE. Full review in Spanish.
