    Better than Kung fu Panda ahhaha

    Oh wait maybe this one is the worst animated movie. I can't decide. Animation is horrible and Panda is dancing just randomly. There is one Rocky stlyle training montage that lasts over 3 minutes with some shots reprising. One amazing scene was when polar bear was laughing for one minute hahah.

    Dreadful.

    This movie was absolutely dreadful to watch and doesn't even live up to it's title, if the bear wanted to be a dancer instead of a fighter, why is it named "The little panda fighter"? It just doesn't make sense, neither does the plot or the speech of the movie, can someone even remind me what the plot was? I don't even know...the speech...well that's all been explained in the description, the bear looks like he almost missed a line and suddenly said "That jerk." The worst thing about this movie and almost made me sick to my stomach was the gut- wrenching animation, it looks like some newbie in Blender decided it would be a good idea to put together a movie, despite having barely any animation skills, the animation looks sickening, as you can tell that the joints are barely connected together, which comes down to this:

    What's the purpose of this movie...?

    Apparently, some Brazilians hate mankind...and this 'film' is proof!

    Video Brinquedo in Brazil is responsible for bringing us "Urshinho da Pesada" ("The Little Panda Fighter") and it only makes me wonder if these folks truly hate children. After all, I cannot imagine any child enjoying this cheap mess of a film...and it will be even tougher for parents to suffer through this monstrosity. Avoid it like the plague!!

    Like their other film, "Ratatoing", this movie is a deliberate attempt to piggyback on the success of a GOOD Hollywood blockbuster, "Kung Fu Panda". This sort of thing isn't unheard of....there are several companies that regularly come out with ultra-cheap films with titles and plots similar to the blockbusters and which hope to fool viewers into watching the ersatz versions. But the sheer awfulness and cheapness of this Brazilian film is hard to imagine...you really have to see this for yourself to see how badly it's made. For instance, while "Kung Fu Panda" and "Ratatouille" are gorgeously animated, this CGI film truly looks as if it was made many years earlier....and isn't even close to being as nice looking as "Toy Story" from 1995!! It seems like an experiment made back in the 1980s...or perhaps a project created by a semi-talented 7 year-old! While animation alone might not ruin the film, horrible dialog, a dull story and nothing which would interest any child guarantee it will be listed among the worst children's movies of all time. Yes, folks....it's THAT bad! If given a choice of watching this movie again or eating my own foot, I'd say "Pass the ketchup"!

    What a fun mess

    Actually, this isn't fun. It was spawned in purgatory and is probably the video from 'the ring'

    Ungodly abomination

    This movie is terrible, God-awful and should be used as a torture device for terrorists.

    That being said, I highly recommend you watch it. The hilarity of viewing the mistakes and goof ups are all you need for an alarmingly awful time. The acting is abysmal, the graphics are horrendous, and this is the most nice I can be. Actually, (well to be fair), the plot is not that bad. But...... WHY ARE THE CHARACTERS BEARS?!?!?! I'll answer myself. They are bears because Video BridWANKda wanted to cash in.

    SIMPLIFIED PLOT PanCOCKa is a bear who wants to be a dancer, but for some reason he works at the dojo that pretty much everyone worships. Some guy is always winning, and the boss wants him out. So he dresses up as a mysterious fighter because for some reason is not allowed to fight even though he owns the dump. But because Pancada sucks at his job, the suit is too small and it looks like him. Cue a 3 minute dance scene, (yes) a huge montage scene, and Pancada fights the guy and loses. The owner (who suspiciously looks like Ice Bears drunk deformed cousin) knew Pancada wouldn't win and tripled the bets on the other guy. The owner leaves, Pancada gets the places, and everyone still hates him.

    THE VERDICT

    This movie is honestly one of the worst movie I have ever seen, but left me dying of laughter in the process.

    Yeah, this is the most detailed review I have ever done.

    • Trivia
      This movie has confused so many people for the real Kung Fu Panda, that the Amazon UK page for the DVD says "NOT KUNG FU PANDA" next to the movie's title.
    • Goofs
      In a scene in which Pancada is meditating with Master Xin, he informs him that he will be competing in a boxing match against Freak Teddy, Xin gives this advice to Pancada, "If you fight like you dance, you can never go wrong". The problem with his advice is that earlier in the film when Pancada auditioned in front of a group of judges in an attempt to persuade them to induct him into their dance academy, he failed to impress them enough and so they turned him down. Xin's advice is incredibly poor, fundamentally incorrect and it just doesn't make any sense.
