This small little indie picture (I hope the marketing department can give it a little promotion), was directed by Mark Osborne and John Stevenson. It opens really big on Friday June 6th.It features a voice cast that could never exist together if it were a live-action picture. It's basically about a Panda that works at his father's noodle house, that somehow gets chosen by some grandmaster as the next Kung Fu master, who will save the town from some ex- Kung Fu master who is now evil. The Panda must train to achieve his destiny and fight the evil guy.
Unfortunately, this picture is horrible. The characters are so charmless, and inconsistent that I couldn't care less about all of them. The dialogue is so boring and trite that I somehow fell asleep several times. I guess, I just didn't get what the big deal was, or what was really at stake. The fight scenes got extremely boring and were repetitive, despite the economical 88min running time.
As people know, I love the action/martial arts genre, but it's just somewhat ridiculous to see computer characters doing them over real people; it loses the natural motion of the human form.
Hopefully, someone at Dreamworks pays for this, because if I had the chance, I would karate chop this complete waste of time.

Was there ever any doubt about how this picture would end up?
On a side note, isn't supposed to be "I couldn't care less"?
