Kung Fu Panda

Last night Tim and I took the kids (and the nanny) to see Kung Fu Panda, the new Dreamworks animation. This was really a great movie.

You've probably already seen the previews, but the chubby and unathletic panda Poh works in his father's noodle shop, but dreams of becoming a kung fu warrior. When a powerful but evil kung fu practicioner breaks free from his prison, Poh finds himself selected as the dragon warrior.

This is a comedy for grown ups and kids alike. Both Jacob and the nanny laughed pretty much non-stop. Good humor in an animation film like Kung Fu Panda needs to have layers; things are funny on their face for the younger part of the audience, but there is deeper layer that adults will usually pick up on.

This is definitely a movie to see.
