Kung Fu Panda


Saw this last night at the Brazos Drive In. Nowhere near the quality of the Pixar films but it had a couple of amusing moments. Oddly, for an animated film not a lot happens and the supporting characters are relegated to the sides lines for the majority of the running time. I can't even remember the monkey talking.

The best part of the film was the other feature, Indiana Jones. A film I loved the first time, it actually grew in my mind with a second viewing. Past all the hype and expectations I was able to simply enjoy it is, a 1950's style adventure film. None of the plot twists or story elements seemed out of place and it really seemed to fit into the canon of all the other Indy films. It may now be my second favorite of the bunch, after Raiders of the Lost Ark.
