June 23, 2008 : This Is An Intriguing Development
So Kung Fu Panda looked like a pretty good movie during its initial advertisement push; and as it kept moving along, it looked better and better – particularly when critics (both from a film and animation standpoint) were speaking very highly of it. Now that it has been a few weeks since it’s release, it continues to pick up steam (and praise). With all this buzz, it certainly is making me very curious to see how it is.
I must say that I have not been the biggest fan of Dreamworks Animation – not to say I didn’t find it good, it just never caught my interest. A perfect example is Shrek. The franchise has been incredibly successful, and it looks well done; but the story never interested me. In fact, it wasn’t until recently that I saw the first movie (and I have yet to see either of the sequels).
With that said, Kung Fu Panda looked pretty sweet. It has a cool cast, and the animation is supposed to be very, very well done. With all the buzz surrounding it, this might be something I will check out sooner than later (and probably much sooner than I plan on watching Wall-E).
As a side note, the caption at the top of the above movie poster is pretty funny.
