My friend and I, both in our 40s, were looking for something just off the wall and funny to relieve a stressful week and decided to see Kung Fu Panda. We laughed and laughed! But we also really enjoyed the affirmations of not quitting, being the best you can be as you are, and knowing all about the "secret ingredient." This movie has a positive message that works and is applicable to everyone.
The technical aspects of the film were wonderful. Good visuals, dark scenes not too dark, volume level acceptable in highs and lows. Length of the film was just right for optimum attention.
My only complaint was the use of some slang that I felt was inappropropriate for children under 13. The use of the word "suck" was not necessary and in poor taste for a movie that is marketed to young children. The word "stink" would have been a better choice.
I don't think the martial arts scenes, for which the film has its PG rating, is of that much concern unless a child has never seen cartoons before which is not likely.
All in all, a good film for young and old, but parents should definitely converse about the inappropriate use of some words afterward to help stave off that kind of talk from their little ones as long as possible. And there are good talking points to help reinforce a child's natural abilities to shine without having to be exactly a certain way (super skinny or super popular, etc).

Yes, I recommend this movie.
