How does something with so much, on paper, going against it be so good? Jack Black fit perfectly and didn't ham in his performance, as did Dustin Hoffman who provided a more grounded performance as the irate teacher. The passing of Oogway (basically Yoda) being one of them. The detail in each character and background was amazing, the comedy moments hit their mark (unlike Shrek, it stayed away from constant pop culture remarks), and the other stories were worth being invested in. You could list the cliches for miles, it's basically standard "Sudden Hero wins the day" with the big twist being "It was the power in you all along!" But it was good. Going into Kung Fu Panda, you could afford to be sceptical with the premise "Jack Black is a Panda". Outside of Aardman animation they haven't particularly blown anyone out of the water outside of Shrek and Antz (And at a stretch, Madagascar). then we had "Jerry Seinfeld Is A Bee" and "Will Smith is a Fish". Even those last five words together string doubtfulness.ĭreamworks 3D outings up until this point has given us Antz and Shrek. and here comes Dreamworks with Jack Black as a Panda. A superhero family, a rat who is actually an amazing chef, a world where the monsters in your closet are actually working for a corporation, giving your toys a soul. What with Pixar seeming to do no wrong with very unique premises. A goofy Panda played by Jack Black learns Kung Fu.
