Kung Fu Panda - A Fun Kid Movie
We took our kids to see Kung Fu Panda today and it was a lot of fun. Our son enjoyed it more than our daughter. Because it wasn’t Dora the Explorer or Go-Diego-Go on the big screen, she just wanted to walk around but overall she did a good job of sitting on our laps.Â
We saw it over lunch at the Alamo Drafthouse. We love the Alamo Drafthouse because you can order food and eat it while watching the movie. It’s sort of like an indoor drive-in theatre!
It’s a cute movie about a Kung-Fu loving Panda who by a sequence of events gets the chance to be the Kung Fu champion he’s always dreamed of being. He’s not very good so the master has to get creative on ways to teach him how to learn his innate kung fu talents naturally.Â
I guess in the real world you could think of a very out of shape, clumsy guy who dreams of being a world famous boxer and then all of a sudden gets the chance to be the heavy weight champion of the world. The coach only has a few days to get him trained and into shape to fight the biggest, meanest boxer in the world.
Both feats are unlikely to happen but when you put it in a cartoon, everything becomes much more plausible.

I saw this movie as well, and thought it was excellent! I’ve heard great things about the drafthouse, I’ll have to take a visit if I’m ever in the area. Working at a theatre, it is a little weird that I’d have to pay, but I think it’d be worth it!
