So, two of my buddies and I headed out to the AMC theater the other day... Honestly, the moment I told the cashier we needed three tickets for Kung Fu Panda, I couldn't stop cracking up. Even the woman handing over our tickets was laughing along with us. Once we got inside, though, it was basically just a room full of parents and their kids.
Now, personally, I have a huge soft spot for animation, and I found this one to be incredibly entertaining. Don't go in expecting some heavy, deep philosophical narrative like you might find in those classic Disney or Pixar films from back in the day, but the story feels relatively fresh and it is just plain fun. It was a total blast; the time really flew by for me.
To make matters even more ridiculous, we ended up watching the dubbed version, and honestly? It wasn't bad at all. We were mostly just teasing each other, joking like, "Oh great, now we get to hear Edo's mother voicing the panda..." We were half-expecting to hear some weird regional accents pop up, but surprisingly, the voice acting didn't bother me one bit—though I'm certain Jack Black definitely left his mark on it.
