Kung Fu Panda
A breath of fresh air in a sea of overcooked remakes, “Kung Fu Panda” is sweet, funny, and a treat for the eyes. Jack Black dials himself back just enough to let his character shine through, and the secondary voices (Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Ian McShane and others) are great. One of the best things about the movie is that it doesn’t try to be “hip” by loading up on contemporary pop culture references (*cough* Shrek *cough*). It’s confident enough in its charms to just let everything play out, in a way that won’t go stale in a couple of years. Highly recommended.
