Finally! A General Patronage rated film precisely drawing the crowd of no particular age bracket. GP that was not exclusive for kids in terms of cinematic interest. Kung Fu Panda charmed moviegoers from all walks of life.

Teenagers, dating couples, 50s something, whole family... name it. There was a chorus of laughs on Master Shifu and Panda's banters. Couples and dads helped along the hearty shrieks and occasional slapping of armrest. Maybe head banging for Panda's beak pouting father duck.

Panda had enemies lurking on around - his offended contenders, his father's (a noodle cooking duck!) expectations - and from within himself.

For pulling through humor in an otherwise tension plagued encounters on the coveted dragon warrior title, this kung fu movie juggled clash of wills and exchange of wit to inject the spine tingling sensations of pure amusement to its audience. A film to remember. Food and craving for it is a timeless subject but to turn it around into something essential for martial art training is quite surreal. It gracefully delivered the message that a person could kiss his dreams goodbye and say hello to wishes coming true.
