For what it's worth.

Kung Fu Panda was a very nice surprise, a nice change from the watch it/forget it quality of many child-oriented films. The 2d opening dream sequence animation was something that I can only call <em>inspiring</em>. Sounds like the dvd set might be worth picking up - I know my, um, <em>son</em> will really be into learning how to draw the characters and learn kung fu moves. Wonderful review!

As such, it's a great break from the let's-throw-in-every-pop-culture-reference-possible style that is growing ever more tired in the Shrek series and which is being badly aped in things like Space Chimps. As someone getting dragged to movies by my turns-four-tomorrow daughter, going to the theater and finding that it's something like Kung Fu Panda is a great relief.
