Kung Fu Panda

Overall I would recommend the movie to kids aged 6 and up. The movies was found to be entertaining by my 6 & 9 yr old daughters attending with me. It was obviously a kung fu theme, which I found to be more violent than my expectations. I know kung fu includes kicks, strikes, hitting, sometimes using objects but this was nearly non-stop assaults in every angle with every possible article (dishware, trees, buildings, fireworks, chains, etc.) to virtually every character. I tried to refocus my daughters experience to the lesson Po learned about the greatest power: believing in oneself....but it gets lost on action-packed violence in color-rich backgrounds and a gratuitious evil villian. They needed more humor, less violence, and even for a children's move, a little more character development among the kung fu experts. Younger children may be frightened by the huge overwhelming screen visual presence of the villian...my 6 yr old covered her eyes. She didnt even cover her eyes in the recent Crystal Skull movie--that tells me something.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
