O Mestre Panda

My mom bought this movie in Canada because it was cheap and we needed some movies to entertain us on the long ride home to Minnesota. I was about 11 when I watched this but even then did I figure that this movie sucked ass. It was so poorly animated and the movements were so choppy and just embarrassing to watch. The plot was SO predictable and the panda was very disturbing to watch/listen to, it seemed slightly perverted.. My sister (who was 6 at the time) loved the movie, but what did she know-- she can't tell the difference between a cherry and apple, but one thing she experienced were nightmares because of the panda. I'm telling you, the panda is satanic or something. Anyways, the effects were really corny and low quality and just everything about this movie was just sad to watch. The scenes weren't at all detailed, just some pots and statues. I cringed throughout the movie except I enjoyed the ending song during the credits, it was catchy but that's about it.

I am a character animator and cg artist. Seeing this movie was difficult to bear. The movements were done for the sake of moving, without any sense of acting, or intent. As well as it feeling floaty and lifeless. The models were unappealing. The rigs were very restricted and pinched with any extreme pose. The lighting felt OK, but still not so great. Texturing was in the same category.

A different style could have been trialled to hide some of the flaws, but considering the budget, there is little wonder as to why this movie felt so dead.

As for story, it had potential, but requires a whole heap of refining. I commend the attempt, but at best, I would suggest it remain an idea. I give it a one.

I am a teenager. The Prodigy is the worst cartoon I have ever seen. You can find all kinds of poor music,poor actions and poor stories in this cartoon.PS Thanks for Yikuaidianluban's recommendation from bilibili

This is the worst Kung Fu Panda rip off I've seen. Worse than Chop Kick Panda, and worse than The Little Panda Fighter. At least Chop Kick Panda had pretty good animation for a smaller studio and budget. It also, at least, wasn't a boomerang, in the sense that it knew what direction it was going with, and stuck with it throughout. It was blatant, but at least the animation was okay. It's story also doesn't have plot holes. The Little Panda Fighter, to its credit, is somewhat original, as it doesn't 100% rip off Kung Fu Panda, as the main character has a different motive. However, it's ugly as hell. The only thing I liked was the voice acting (Dan Green is awesome), and I guess maybe the story.

The Prodigy, isn't quite a blatant rip off, as it's instead about a purple haired girl, with a tiny panda as the sidekick. However, everything from Voice Acting to Animation was awful. The story, was full of plot holes, and it couldn't decide what it wanted to do. The movie was extremely boring, and chock full of stupid, and unfunny comedy.

The animation in this, is clunky, it and looks like a early PS2 game. It's quite sad, how a few people wasted their precious time onto this.

The title, which you see above you, is intended as a warning to exactly what happened when my little sister asked to get this in Poundland. Join the "animators and artists of Shrek" as you journey through ancient China, represented in glorious mid-90s video game graphics. Meet a bunch of characters who you'll grow to know and want to strangle, voiced by people whom I imagine were paid less than £5 for their respective parts, and I doubt it will ever be enough for them to be able to live with what they've done. They will embark on an epic quest to stop some irritating person from doing something or another. You won't care by the time this film ends. Your mind will only be concerned with snapping the disc. The bottom line is: don't buy this, unless you plan to use it as an instrument of torture.
