Watched this animation a while back.
Kung Fu again? Enough already, you say? That was what I felt. But
the two names, Jack Black and Dreamworks Animation, still drew me in.
I still had to go and watch this. And I must say, it was quite refreshing.
It worked on many levels, and in my opinion, successful because it
appeals to the adult, the child, the Asian and the Americans. I did
not feel a bad taste in my mouth like some of the Asian-inspired or
Asian-themed movies Hollywood churns out… (e.g. Forbidden Kingdom?)
Of course, the story covers familiar ground, nothing new. But the
journey there was fun. Stylistically, Dreamworks have brought their
work to the next level. The visual design is stunning. Deceptively
simple Every environment was minimal in its elements, yet detailed
and realistic. I especially loved the last scene. (Watch all the credits
scroll by, there is a last scene at the very end.)
The musical score by Hans Zimmer was also good, a mix of Chinese
instruments and western. But please… how many more times do we
have to listen to Kung Fu Fighting??
“Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting… Hii YA!”
