ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
Light and goofy, yet the fight scenes, which are the heart of the film, are lickety-split mad fun.Read Full Review »

Time: Richard Corliss
The new picture provides a master coursed in cunning visual art and ultra-satisfying entertainment.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Manohla Dargis
At once fuzzy-wuzzy and industrial strength, the tacky-sounding Kung Fu Panda is high concept with a heart.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: John Anderson
Infectious and inspiring, despite one's best efforts to resist its charms.Read Full Review »

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.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Thanks to a witty script and the recognizably goofy but absolutely earnest delivery of Black, Kung Fu Panda has a human soul, too.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Carina Chocano
The action, heavily influenced by Hong Kong martial arts films, is beautifully choreographed.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Ella Taylor
Perfectly pleasant, very good-looking, modestly funny, dispiritingly unoriginal variant on the nerd-with-a-dream recipe that's been clobbered to death in animated films for at least a decade now.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Ty Burr
Kung Fu Panda goes nowhere surprising even as its images unscroll handsomely before our eyes. The sound could go out in the theater, and you wouldn't ask for your money back.Read Full Review »
