Thoroughly enjoyable and delightful animated romp. Jack Black’s weird comic timing is perfectly suited for his panda alter ego. All the voice work was terrific. And it’s strange to say, but the action scenes and fights were beautifully choreographed. (It’s strange because, well, they WEREN’T choreographed, they were animated.) There’s a battle with two sets of chopsticks fighting over one dumpling that’s one of the most hilarious, creative fights I’ve ever seen. This was great.

I think it's funny that you think the fight scenes "WEREN’T choreographed". Of course they were. They studied tons of fight scenes and the head of animation is actually a kung-fu guy himself. They filmed stuff & watched other stuff, edited it together & then animated it. Come to think of it, all amimation is coreographed because you have to "plan it out" before animating it!
