Chinese rulez!!

Kungfu Panda rawks. Well, maybe not quite "rawks" level, but it was one entertaining 90 mins. I love how Hollywood has adapted funny Stephen Chow/Jackie Chan/Kungfu Hong Kong movies and paid tribute to how wonderfully entertaining those movies are without being too cliche. They have also managed to turn what could have easily degenerated into a Hollywood B-movie storyline and made it a refreshingly cute and fun computer-generated film. I do wonder perhaps some of the subtle nuances that are familiar to audiences like myself might be missed by those audiences who aren't as exposed to Chinese slap-stick.

I liked it. A lot. I can't remember the last time I giggled so much.
