Kung Fu Panda - Legenden mit Fell und Fu

This is a great show. Some of the adults writing the reviews should stop being so overly dramatic and critical...it's a kids show for goodness sake. Start thinking like a child and you too will love this cartoon. My family loves it because we don't have to deal with sexual innuendo or any other non kid like verbiage. This cartoon is VERY family friendly and I would recommend the series to any of my friends that have children from ages 6 and up. My nieces and nephews think Po and Master Shifu exhibit a friendship of love, caring, trust and respect. These are things my family enjoys to watch in a show and this is just an all round fun show and we love it.

It's the continuing adventures of Po, the Dragon Warrior. He and his friends, the Furious Five, protect the Valley of Peace under the guidance of Shifu from various villains.

This brings the cinematic cartoon onto the TV screen. There are a couple actors reprising their voice work. Mostly, it's new people recreating the memorable voices. The characters and the work is very similar to the cinematic franchise except there are no big 3D action. The stories are nice and the characters are fun. There is nothing offensive or terribly edgy. This is a fine family cartoon for the younger crowd and adults should be fine watching it with them.

The one thing I'll always remember from this show is the fight scenes. They were simply amazing. Easily among the best fights I've ever seen. And they don't carry the show either. Every episode I saw had good jokes and interesting stories. The Furious Five get a lot of development, though I'll admit it was mostly just Monkey or Tigress. And I always loved Po. He was funny and really brought life into the show.

Well, I'm actually surprised with this show. It's definitely not as good as 2 films.

Animation is worse than in the movies, but not that bad. My only remark is that they sometimes use the same model for different characters, only changing the color of the robes. But even Disney is doing that. TV series cant spend as much money as for the movies. For example Aladdin TV series. Every male child looked like a miniature Aladdin, with same hairstyle.

Voice acting is GREAT. Voice actors are so convincing (except Tigress), they sound like their movie counterpart, especially Mick Wingert as Jack Black. And John DiMaggio and Richardson are great as Fung and Temutai.

Story is OK, with one or two plot holes.

New characters are good. Maybe little clichéd, but they're not annoying (for example "Aladdin" had Abyss Mall the worst cartoon character in history!!!). Some of the villains are even great, like Junjie and Temutai.

Overall, the show is decent. Nothing special, but if you liked Kung Fu Panda, you're like this too.

The third series has the best episodes; I record ANY episode in DVD when sender put 'em on air, the wau I can watch 'em again and again instead of cycling the whole saga according to the local TV network. Even though graphics leaks of details in comparison of the movies, each overview is structured flawless, especially the dual-parts episodes e.g. "Enter The Dragon". Vocal actors in original version are worth hearing. Each episode can teach something that we can notice in the others, like the referrals to past episodes or something like that when we're watching a single episodio, not like the soap operas having sequels. Publishing of all Kung phu panda saga is quite slow but I understand the work behind the animation scenes and character martial movements and arts. So I give an excellent vote to this television program !
