    The animation is good but it's a cheap knockoff.

    Honestly, this is one of those rare rip offs that have good animation and (mostly) decent acting. My main problem is that it's basically a copy, nothing original is only made for a cash grab.

    Better than The Little Panda Fighter, but that's not really a compliment

    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

    Why...

    Why did this even exist, I rather watch the actual "Kung Fu Panda" show. But this have to be the laziest one ever! No wonder why they wanna pretend to be DreamWorks Animation. They are Soo bad at animation, and what studio what they were thinking. I hate this cartoon that is copy and paste! What the...

    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.

    Chop Kick Panda is such a ripoff.

    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.
