My Kung-Fu weekend, part two:
Cute, but not overly saccharine. There is a moral, but it’s not rammed down your throat. I actually thought is was one of the better animations I’ve seen in recent years, as it doesn’t try too hard to be cool and achingly funny.
The animation style is interesting, if a little clunky at times – by that I mean, sometimes the cg-fx are very lifelike, then very cartoony, particularly the (background) characters.
The voices are all good, especially Dustin Hoffman. I totally didn’t spot Angelina Jolie (!), and Lucy Liu and Jackie Chan are criminally underused. Ian McShane was an odd choice but very effective!
Overall it was fun, made me smile, and was pretty heartwarming. I approve :)
