Hello readers, I hope you all are okay. My name is Gianfranco Corbatto Cesaro, and I am from "de La Inmaculada Jesuitas School" in the beautiful country of Peru. Today, I will write about a movie that moves hearts and makes laugh at more than one (including me).

Kung Fu Panda (2008) is an action; animated and comedy film for the whole family. It was produced by Dreamworks Animation Studios and directed by Mark Osborne and John Stevenson. The catchy film, is developed throughout the country of China, but the most important center of this, is the fictitious Valley of Peace.

Jack Black, a very famous actor known by movies like "Jumanji: Welcome to the jungle" or "King Kong", lent his voice to the protagonist of the film known as Po. The rest of the characters voices were also played by actors of a great stature, such as Angelina Jolie (Tigress); Dustin Hoffman (Master Shifu); Ian McShane (Tai Lung) or Jackie Chan (Monkey). In my opinion, this voice cast is perfect. The actors and actresses are completely integrated into the role of the characters, making the public believe that they themselves are masters of kung fu or evil villains (like Ian Mcshane. Believe me, his voice make Tai Lung very evil).

We have already talked about the actors, but we have not talked about the theme of the film itself. Well, let me tell you a little.

Kung Fu Panda tells the story of a plump and charismatic panda named Po (Jack Black), who is fond of Kung Fu and who works with his father Ping (James Hong) in a restaurant of spaghettis. One day, as by the art of destiny, he is chosen as the mortal dragon warrior, who must protect his native valley from the mortal Tai Lung (Ian Mcshane), a former Kung Fu master, who used his powers to do evil. This evil villain escaped from prison and is returning to the valley in search of revenge for those who put him inside that pigsty. Master Shifu (panda's coach) doesn't agree with the election of the panda, but in the same way, he will train it, and both (teacher and student) will learn that appearances are not everything in life.

In my opinion, this is a very good movie. The cinematography is totally adequate. The camera approaches demonstrate the great work of the producer, as well as the time taken to correctly express the detail of where the facts occur, in this case, China.

The soundtrack was very emotional, and although they were only musical backgrounds, they still expressed many feelings.

You can see memorial scenes such as the final fight between Po and Tai Lung or the disappearance of the master oogway.

It shows that the work of the animators was extremely good, since the special effects are totally incredible. ¡Each hair of the animals is shown on the screen!

By the end, I have left what I consider to be the most important thing in the film: the emotional effect. Kung Fu Panda, transmitted messages and reflections camouflaged in simple phrases, but in reality, were small flames to awaken a great feeling known as self-esteem, which is the main factor that develops in this film production.

In conclusion, Kung Fu Panda is a very good movie. With special effects and a memorial soundtrack, but above all, with a great message of personal improvement that will help you in daily life. All this previously mentioned, is accompanied by a bit of comedy, which gives the film a touch of fun. This is why, my final grade for Kung Fu Panda is 4 stars out of 5.

And that friends was my movie review. I hope you liked it and do not take it bad, since it is my personal opinion and everyone has a different point of view.

Thank you so much...
