Kung Fu Panda

Saw it with my son last night. Highly recommend it.

Let me preface this by saying that I normally dislike Dreamworks. I’m not a fan of Spielberg’s movies. Here’s why:

Saving Private Ryan … ending sucked.
Artificial Intelligence: AI … ending sucked.
Schindler’s List … ending sucked.
Minority Report … great movie, ending sucked.

Yeah, he’s done a lot more. Jaws, Indy, etc.

As a result, I’m immediately wary of anything involving Spielberg. Kung Fu Panda was pretty kick-butt though. No over-the-top adult jokes like you would have in Shrek, no horrible liberal brainwashing attempts like you had in Happy Feet (perhaps the shittiest animated child guilt-trip movie ever made - producers of that abomination should be arrested for child abuse), instead, just funny kung fu. Jack Black was perfect for it. Hollywood would be better off if more movies were like this - simply entertaining.
