Review of the film Kung Fu Panda

A shelf of animated bears arrived. Baloo and Winnie-the-Pooh had a new companion: one hundred and seventeen kilograms of hairy charm, a cozy belly and sad eyes. Meet - Panda Poe, a noodle in the fourth generation and the future Dragon Warrior. There is a strong broth in the veins of this guy.


Pandas have long become sacred animals. In ancient China, their faces were minted on gold coins, and now they use bears as the most expensive diplomatic gifts. As a sign of special respect. I can not say anything about Chinese animation, but in American and European cinema pandas appeared extremely rarely. And only now, we have an opportunity to know the inner beauty of these good-natured people.

I am now almost sure that Fyodor Khitruk drew his Vinni from a panda. This sad sight can not be forgotten, all the habits of a well-fed bear cause wild attacks of laughter. How did the bear escape from the earthquake in Sichuan? He just relaxed and was lazy. Very Taoist.

The hero of the new cartoon film "Kung Fu Panda", the big bear Po-Tao in its pure form. He does not like to strain, to interfere with the natural course of life, and to all the pleasures of the world he prefers a bowl of rice dumplings. The bear has one cherished dream. He wants to learn kung fu in perfection, but how to cope with laziness?

As soon as he learns about the tournament that began in the local monastery, the winner will receive the title of Dragon Warrior. Only the best of the best can stand up for the inhabitants of the valley and receive a scroll with sacred knowledge. The main contenders for the victory are five disciples of Master Shifu: Tigress, Monkey, Crane, Viper and Praying Mantis. Each of these soldiers owns a unique style of kung fu. But who will be the first?

The abbot of the Ugway monastery feels the approach of great misfortune, the name of it is the cruel murderer Tai Lung. Once he was the best of the novices, but then he betrayed his teacher. Now Tai Lung languishes in a mountain dungeon, but Ugway is sure - the villain will soon break free, and it can not be stopped by strength or agility, but peace of mind. And such a great gift is possessed by Panda Poe. Only he does not know about it at all. He still has to go the way of the warrior and to eat a mountain of pelmeni.

The idea to remove a cartoon about kung fu appeared back in 1992. One of the leaders of the studio Dreamworks saw a movie with a panda and fell in love with this beautiful animal. It remained to compose a worthy scenario, to find a director and call for the voiceovers of celebrities. The collection took almost sixteen years, but the result justifies any expectations.

"Kung Fu Panda" - a cartoon with a philosophical meaning. He is like a magic Chinese cookie, inside of which is a note with a prediction. Aftertaste does not come immediately. First you laugh, giggle, grab at your sides and laugh, but then, unexpectedly, you experience an unusual bright sadness.

You could do without a plot and leave one panda. Whatever I do: I eat, tell stories, fly on a rocket or fight - the result is always the same. This teddy bear can laugh a statue from the emperor's terracotta army, not like a normal spectator.

And not a single joke. "Kung Fu Panda" is a very poetic, transparent and easy movie. Like a wet watercolor on rice paper. Dancing peach petals, sparkle with jade stars, on the slopes of the mountains a silken fog spreads. And among this splendor is the nerd and the glutton Po. Lovely, cheerful, so beloved. Kung Fu Studio Dreamworks turned out to be the most real and powerful. What will Pixar answer?
