Thoughts
So, the biggest question is, why have I not watched this before? It's a great big fluffy adorable panda for goodness' sake?
But, righting that wrong now, thank goodness the film stands up to the cute main character. Good story, great cast, fab animation, lots of fun jokes and of course, lots of great wisdom to take away. It did feel a bit like Star Wars goes to China but I loved it.
Rating: 5 / 5
