This 3d animated movie is one of the most visually stunning out there. The action sequences are very well made and entertaining. The director successfully integrates visual and audio effects with the dialogue to deliver solid chuckles constantly throughout the movie. 

The movie takes place in China, which according to the movie is the birthplace and the residence of the top martial artists. In addition the main character is a panda, an animal that is held in high regard amongst the Chinese. With a population of over 1.3 billion who wouldn't want to go out of their way to please this market.

Final Word: This is a highly entertaining movie that delivers constant laughs from start to end. Along with the strong visual and audio effects this movie contests Pixar for top dog of animated movies.
