Humor, action and great story telling make this movie a must see. The movie is a computer animated master piece that should go down in history as one of the most entertaining movies for everyone in the family. The PG rating was a must, because many of the themes that are explored through this movie need an older audience to appreciate, and there are some violent yet well CGI choreographed fight scenes. However, the animation makes the movie especially entertaining for the younger audience member enticing them with colors and beautiful settings..
The main premise that surrounds this movie is Po's, Jack Black's character, journey to learn to believe in himself and acknowledge that he is "The One." The journey of this Panda brings him from a humble existence as a waiter at the family's restaurant to high above the village upon the mountain top where he learns that it is up to him to be the Dragon Warrior and save the valley from the evil grasps of an escaped prisoner.
The journey begins as a physical one where the protagonist needs to over come his weight issues, but like many people that have weight issues there are self esteem issues that become apparent. This is when the journey turns inward, and the philosophical journey overpowers the physical. Po needs to learn that he needs to see himself as a hero to be able to be a hero. Watch for the line "There is no secret ingredient." This message becomes invaluable to push Po to his final enlightenment to where he believes that he can overcome the evil oppression.
The movie is well written and the collection of cast members enhances the feeling of the power of the journey, placing it in the ranks of adventure movies like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Harry Potter. The movie forces the audience to search their own soul to see if they have what it takes to be a hero.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
