Kung Fu Panda (2008) | Review

Pandamonium Double DVD... on Sunday

Recommendation: Buy it! Now!

As a parent, I tend to remember mychildren'sfirst... well, everything. Finding Nemo was playing when we took our oldest son to the theater for the first time. For my younger son? His first theater experience consisted ofKung Fu Panda. When the DVD arrived at our home, both of my boys started singing, "Everybody was Kung Fu figh-ting" and my younger son ran around the house yelling, "Kung Fu Panda is AWESOME!"

I have to agree with my boys on this one. There is just something about Jack Black (most of his work, anyway) that just cracks me up. His recent venture into animation is no exception. If you are a big fan like me, you will skip renting this baby and go straight to purchase.

The Pandamonium Double DVD Pack also comes with The Secrets of the Furious Five, which gives some great backup stories for each of the five Kung-Fu masters in the movie. This just in from my oldest son: "The Secrets of the Furious Five is about learning Discipline, Courage, Self-Control, Patience, and Confidence from the Furious Five." There you go; where can you get a higher endorsement than that?

There are some great Extra Features as well, in both DVDs. My favorite one shows each of the cast doing their voiceovers. I always enjoy watching their faces and realizing that the animators tried to match the actors with their characters.

I think the Pandemonium Double DVD Pack and you would make a great match!
