Chop Kick Panda

This film is just awesome and so original! I was shocked nobody had come up with the idea of a 'Kung Fu Panda' before.. the ONLY thing that brought the stars from 10/10 down to 1/10 was the monkey.. he didn't say a word throughout the entire film.. What a let down! I love monkeys and hearing them talk in cartoons usually brings tears of joy to my eyes.

Saying that, everything else was perfect. A panda doing kung fu.. it's the kind of thing Pixar should be doing! It's obviously made on a tramp's shoestring, so to have made a 40 minute film that only sent me to sleep twice, it's just fantastic. Two thumbs up!! - but again, was disappointed about the mute monkey.

1/10

This film tells the story about "a fat lazy Panda named Zibo who wants to be a master of martial arts, but is stuck as a mere cleaner for a training place of martial arts. And there is an evil tiger has plans to take over the kingdom, so Zibo must stop the tiger." See? Is this a pseudo-remake or something like that? They took nearly everything from Kung Fu Panda and changed the title to a very dull name: "Chop Kick Panda".

Surprise! The screenplay is not totally same with Kung Fu Panda. It's way way way worse than this. I wish it had the same.

If there were a half star, it completely deserves it. 0,5/10.

If this wasn't a rip off movie, I actually would've rated it a bit higher, but it is definitely a rip off, and a really blatant one (more blatant than little panda fighter), so it shall stay at a measly 3.

Despite that, the animation and voice acting is fine, the monkey has a cute character design and the panther's VA was sometimes almost funny.

However, the typical rip off runtime of 40 minutes means that there are no real characters or plot in this because there's just no time to make a real story. As it is, it feels as though nothing actually happened for the 40 minutes, and then all of a sudden it was over and I was just left wondering if I'd had a 40 minute black out.

Overall it's technically adequate in some aspects, but the disgusting nature of ripping off someone else's creation means I can't support this.

To whoever made this, please try again, but with your own idea, and maybe you can make something worthwhile.

3.5/10.

This film was based on the DreamWorks show "Kung Fu Panda". I would rather get hit than watching this stupid movie. I hate this show so much that I never watched it, I just looked it up. I hated it because it is a knock-off of such an amazing film. It has to be removed. If imdb had half a star, I would rate it 0.5 stars.

Chop Kick Panda is not a good movie at all, in fact it's very bad, but it is nowhere near as bad as The Little Panda Fighter(the first Kung Fu Panda rip-off) and is also better than any of Video Brinquedo's and Spark Plug Entertainment's output put together. The animation quality is nowhere near as awful, the characters anywhere near as annoying and it doesn't make as glaring a mistake of not knowing what the target audience is, though that mistake is still made. Chop Kick Panda does have some moderately amusing one-liners, a few vibrant colours and background art that certainly flows smoother than those of The Little Panda Fighter going for it. This said, the animation quality in general is neither good or terrible, as aforementioned it has its moments, but the character designs are very lazy, there is some blockiness and some of the colours are quite flat. The soundtrack at best is forgettable, and while the characters are not as annoying the movie make the opposite mistake and makes them completely personality-less apart from the occasional spark with Bali and character development is almost non-existent. This is made even worse in that the voice actors show little signs of trying. The script and especially the story fare the worst. The script thankfully does not take a disturbingly sadistic approach that was seen with Spark Plug Entertainment's A Car's Life, which was what was meant early on in the review but it is one script that neither children or adults will take much pleasure from. The type of humour will fly over children's heads and could be seen as too crude for them, but while not as juvenile as that of Little Panda Fighter or the rest of Video Brinquedo's output adults will find the jokes here randomly structured, forced and more insultingly stupid than funny. The story is literally a carbon copy of Kung Fu Panda- like with the opening- minus the fun, charm and heart, the lack of originality would be forgivable if the story was engaging. But engaging is the last word to sum up the story, structurally it is as thin as paper and scenes are stretched to try and hide this, meaning that ideas run out and the running time despite being short actually feels too long. Plus subplots(ie. the idea to have the panda as a single dad) are shoe-horned in that are placed so clumsily that you question why they were there at all. In conclusion, a very bad movie though never reaching into abysmal territory like The Little Panda Fighter did. 2/10 Bethany Cox
