You know that feeling of going back to your parents' house after a long time and finding everything in the exact same place? That’s pretty much what Kung Fu Panda 3 delivers. We laugh, get a little emotional, eat some dumplings, and leave with a warm heart. But is DreamWorks' magic formula starting to show signs of fatigue, or does the Dragon Warrior still have what it takes to surprise us? Let’s talk about what w...

I enjoyed the movie, funny good story but after watching them in a row 1, 2 and 3 the story is looking very familiar. That was disappointing. But having the rest right certainly makes up for it and enough of a change to make it worth watching. Great actors supporting the movie with their voices also makes this a fantastic movie.

The briefest moment of confusion fo...

Naturally there is a big bad villain, G...

> This time no Skadoosh, but Chi time. Three successful films in an animation franchise is a great achievement and according to the production house, yet another 3 films are going to hit the screens in a decade of time. So if you are an animation fan, especially 'Kung Fu Panda' and Po's fan, brace yourself for the future treats. This film was amazing. After two wonderful adventures, now this story has calmed do...

Kung Fu Panda 3 does not disappoint. It has great animation, great music, and a great story. We loved it. My son, who is 9, enjoyed the story and thought the movie was very funny. The panda theme was adorable as pandas are cute animals. Also, the scary guy wasn't that scary - and was more funny. Jack Black is hilarious and everyone in the theater was laughing. There were some sad moments and some happy moments but...
