    It's bad enough for me to rant about it

    I am more offended by the fact that NF thought I would like this than I would be if a homeless man grabbed my privates on the train, announced that two of were to be married and then successfully argued in court that said proclamation constitutes a verbal contract. Furthermore, if I were to marry aforementioned bum and subsequently be cheated on multiple times by my forced same sex partner, I would still be less offended by that that I am by the fact that I would like this movie. If GOD himself came down to Earth and announced to the world that I am the creation he is least proud off (including Lucifer) and I am to walk the Earth for eternity for the expressed purpose of demonstrating to the rest of creation what happens when you have the misfortune of being a loathsome wretched creation so hideous that you are an affront o the creator, I would be less offend than I am by the fact that NG though I would like this.

    In short avoid this movie.

    A boring and crummy Kung Fu Panda mockbuster

    This is nothing but another one of Renegade Animations blatant rip-offs made to trick parents into buying it for their kids after mistaking it for Kung Fu Panda

    The story is not only more or less the same as Kung Fu Panda but is completely boring. The main character, who is obviously a stand-in for Po, is a Panda who works as a janitor who dreams of being a great Kung Fu fighter. He deceives his own son into believing he's some kind of Kung Fu master. Eventually, he becomes a genuine Kung Fu fighter and defeats the bad guys. That's all I bothered to gather while watching it, because it was so boring, I began to feel sleepy.

    All of the scenery and character models were bland and lazily drawn with static animation. Their limited expressions don't properly convey their emotions at all. More often than not, only their heads and mouths move.

    The dialogue was lazy and awkward, and the stale voice acting didn't help. All of the characters were forgettable or unlikable. The cheap music playing in the background only makes the experience more yawn inducing.

    Some of the writing is amazingly repetitive and lazy. In the intro, the narrator literally says: "There was once a legendary warrior who was so legendary." There was even an obvious Star Wars reference, among other cheesy pop-culture shout outs.

    In the end, this was nothing but a mere 41 minutes of garbage. While it isn't the worst Kung Fu Panda rip-off I've ever seen, it's definitely one of them and only good for a cheap chuckle at how bad it is.

    Darrell Van Citters is a genius

    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.

    Could've been good if it wasn't plagiarism.

    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.

    I was scared to put this in my DVD player

    I was a bit scared of what was going to be shown on my TV through my DVD player when I bought this roll of toilet paper at Giant for $3.99, but I was surprised that it wasn't that bad. All of the jokes were timed correctly and the animation was better than The Little Panda Fighter. DEFINITELY better.

    One thing I have a problem with is that the back of the DVD case has the main character's name as Lu, when in the movie, his name is Zibo and in parentheses it has the words 'okay' and 'fat'.

    The little monkey was very entertaining and should get his own spin-off movie or talk show or something like that, I would definitely watch it all the time.

    All in all, it was meh. But it's still a Kung Fu Panda rip-off
