While it's not quite up there with the best animated films of
recent times, its appeal to young children helped it spawn a couple of sequels and some spin-off short films.
The film is what it is, a panda trains to learn Kung Fu from a
wily old master and becomes the best he can be.
Jack Black was the perfect choice to voice the main character,
with Dustin Hoffman & Angelina Jolie also contributing their vocal talents.
