What's a panda to do when his dreams of kung-fu awesomeness awake to the cold reality of noodle-making? Clumsy, overweight Po (Jack Black) dreams of becoming a kung fu master like China's revered "furious five," but instead seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather in the restaurant business. When great leader Oogway has a vision that the imprisoned kung fu warrior Tai Lung (Ian McShane) will soon escape, he declares it time to choose China's dragon warrior--one kung fu master deemed worthy of possessing the dragon's scroll and its secret to limitless power. Po and all the townspeople rush to the Jade Palace atop the highest mountain to witness the contest between Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogan), Crane (David Cross) and Viper (Lucy Liu), but Po is locked outside the palace. After a miracle of sorts, Po lands inside the palace gates, where he is chosen as the dragon warrior and placed under the tutelage of the decidedly non-plussed master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman). An unconventional student to say the least, hilarity reigns as Shifu tries desperately to make Po into some semblance of a kung fu warrior. Can Po possibly fulfill his destiny as dragon warrior, or was Oogway's final decision a critical mistake? A film rich with hilarious moments, superior animation, and an important message about believing in oneself and the power that comes from within, Kung Fu Panda is great entertainment that will have the whole family laughing and begging for more. (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description
Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po works in his family's noodle shop while daydreaming about becoming a Kung Fu master. His dreams soon become reality when he is unexpectedly chosen to join the world of Kung Fu and study alongside his idols-the legendary fighters Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey-under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu hero into reality? Po puts his heart and his girth into the task, and ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths. 2-pack includes the all-new "Secrets Of The Furious Five."

Format:DVD
The Furious Five movie is only 22 minutes long, so it's not really worth it to pay the extra $7. Stick with the single disc version and you'll be getting a lot more for your money.

I've got no issues with the feature film; it was just as good when I saw it in the theatres twice. But the Furious Five add-on is just a waste of time and money. It is about 30 minutes of backstory on the Furious Five as it explains how they came to study under Master Shifu. There are also some live-action demonstrations of their various fighting styles and a test to discover which kung fu style you are, but all in all it's just a waste. Get the movie only, save your money.

The Furious Five disk was a bit of a letdown. Much of the animation in the featurette (not a full blown feature) was not the usual high quality animation. Flashbacks were told in a different style of animation. Just not up to expectations of the main movie. Also, even if you get the fullscreen version of Kung Fu Panda, it seems as though the Furious Five disk is in widescreen (at least mine was). And, I should add that the price on Amazon.com was NOT as good as other places on the release date.

Good story well made technically. Funny most of the time with some underlying message - if you really want you can achieve anything - without a raised forefinger. Read more
