You know, I’m not entirely sure whether a certain root of all evil is going to love this movie or if he’s going to hate this movie, but one thing is for sure: John Chow is definitely going to have a strong emotional reaction to Kung Fu Panda, the upcoming animated feature from Dreamworks. Seeing how the main character is panda, I can just picture Mr. Chow reverting to his panda killer ways. Imagine him in front of a promotional display or, worse yet, surrounded by Kung Fu Panda memorabilia.
If you must know, Kung Fu Panda stars Jack Black as Po, the — you guessed it — kung fu panda. Accompanying him in the voice actor cast are Jackie Chan, Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu, and Angelina Jolie. It all seems pretty forced and totally out of place. Mind you, I had the same initial reaction to Over the Hedge and Meet the Robinsons, so Dreamworks could totally prove me wrong with Kung Fu Panda.
Look for this film to hit the silver screen on June 6th 2008.

I think they could improve the trailer by taking the bits with Jack Black out of it. Nothing against Jack Black, but jumping between animation and real life really takes away focus from the film.
I agree that the trailer was fairly poorly done and it would have made the movie look better if they would have shown more of it and left Jack out completely.
Hmmm, I’d like to kill Jack “the Panda” Black. His comedy is hardly innovative, he just recycles the same acts in every movie.
I always find it interesting how animated movies have transgressed from being for kids to being for people of all ages.
Sounds like they have a pretty good cast line-up for this one too.
I’m not the biggest fan of Jack Black, but if I only have to hear his voice occasionally and not actually see him, then the movie might not be that bad.
i’m a jack black fan, but he really didn’t need to be in this
hectic, master panda killer himself, john chow could’ve done a better job!
