Our take on Kung Fu Panda

This 2008 animated comedy from Mark Osborne introduces Po, a clumsy panda improbably named the Dragon Warrior of prophecy, a title nobody, least of all Po, believes he deserves. Thrust into the world of kung fu just as a deadly enemy threatens the Valley of Peace, he trains under the reluctant Master Shifu and the Furious Five, and must accept who he truly is to unlock a power no scroll can teach. Blending action, animation, comedy and family appeal, it pairs slapstick with a warm underdog message. It suits families and anyone who enjoys bright, good-hearted adventure where believing in yourself carries real weight.
