Kung Fu Panda

This movie was made in America. This is my first time to watch an American animation without Disney. The movie is set in the Valley of Peace which is called the most beautiful place in China.
Po is a panda who lives there and he likes Kung Fu very much, but he never did it. One day, there was a tournament to find the new Dragon knight because Tai Lung might attack the town. Po’s house is a ramen restaurant, so he went the tournament with his ramen job. He caught Oogway’s attention and he was elected Dragon Knight. A lot of people were surprised and angry about this decision because Po doesn’t look strong. He started ascetic practice with his mates, Tiger, Monkey, praying mantis, Snake and Crane. They didn’t feel good that Po was chosen and their master Shifu also thought so too.

The ascetic practice was very hard for Po, and he started to be lazy little by little. Shifu is about to give up on him but Oogway reassures him. So, Shifu started ascetic practice to use foods. Surprisingly, that idea had a very good effect for Po. He grew in a short period of time.

One day, they heard the news about Tai Lung is aiming to get the scroll. They fought with Tai Lung without Po but they lost. Shifu also fought Tai Lung but Shifu was also losing. Po arrived at there and started to fight. That was the fierce battle and Po fought against heavy odds. Finally, he became the winner because he could get skill which he was never done in his ascetic practice.

They desperately saved the scroll and Tai Lung wanted it, but the scroll had nothing written on it. That mean is that the most important things is only one. It is to be yourself.

 The most interesting thing for me in this movie is Po's father isn't a panda. His father is goose!! This movie is not only animals but also insects enter the movie. It is very interesting. Also the scene which ascetic practice using food is very funny. I thought Po and I am similar because I like eating too, so I always thought about meals after practice when I practiced tennis.

I thought that if we want to become strong or get the new skill, we should challenge ourselves. There are no short cuts, and honest feelings are very important. It is not only a funny animation but also tells us some important things.
