I don’t really have anything sensible to say about this one. It was a sweet film that truly made my day, though the vodka slushis my friend and I snuck in didn’t hurt. The best thing about the movie, aside from the hilarity of seeing a big fluffy panda in little shorts, is that it is a return to simply, classic storytelling. Shrek was nice (the first time) but too many cartoons spend too much of their time trying to wink at the adults that have to bring their kids to these movies instead of creating characters that the intended viewer can honestly love. In the long run, this is more important because, provided said character is not freakishly annoying (as in, has a high pitched voice as his only form of hilarity) seeing a character make the child at bliss is all the adult needs to justify coming along to this color splashed action. The Panda may not be as glorious as the Disney days of yore, but it certainly is a step that way.
