Believe in yourself, and life will open up avenues you never knew existed, is the moral of Kung Fu Panda.

Po the panda is a lazy, slacker living in the Valley of Peace. Ironically, Po loves Kung Fu and would love to master the art. But given his lethargic ways and laidback lifestyle, becoming a Kung Fu Master does not seem quite an option. Or so we are led to believe until the Valley of Peace is threatened by the mean and terrible snow leopard Tai Lung. When the tranquillity of the forest is under threat, a hero must emerge to save the day. It's Po the panda to the rescue!

Unexpectedly chosen to fulfil an ancient prophecy, Po's Kung Fu dreams become a reality when he studies the martial art alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five - Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey - under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. When Tai Lung gets too close for comfort, Po springs into action until serenity and security are restored to the Valley of Peace.

This animated extravaganza has some big names behind the microphone. Jack Black has lent his voice to Po, Dustin Hoffman to Shifu, Angelina Jolie to Tigress, Jackie Chan to Monkey, Lucy Liu to Viper and Ian McShane to Tai Lung. The movie is bound to make quite an impression with the kids and make for one bumper weekend treat!
