    Don't waste your time

    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

    Boring, Lazy, and Horrible

    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.

    Horrible

    This was by far one of the worst movies my son and daughter have ever picked out. The animation on the DVD cover and stating it was from the artists and animators of Shrek and Sharktale on the cover seemed like a straight out lie. I have seen video games with better graphics and story lines.

    I am a huge fan of indie movies but this was beyond horrible, the panda was creepy, the music was even worse and the plot and dialog in the movie was deplorable.

    I would definitely not recommend anyone this movie, even at renting it for a week for a $1.00, I feel like it was a total waste of money

    If your child asks you to buy this in Poundland, don't.

    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.

    Don't waste your time or money

    This movie is terrible. The graphics are reminiscent of an early nineties video game. The characters are flat, the "plot" seems like it was written by 10 year old kids. During the fight scenes, the characters' arms and legs go THROUGH the other character's body. And yeah, the panda is creepy and sounds like like his voice is done by R2D2 if he could actually speak. The "lovely yet humble" KG has purple hair and a Barbie body. If that makes her lovely, more power to her, but she really seems like a 12 year old boy's idea of anime perfection. The music is just as terrible as the rest of it. I can't believe that people actually paid money to see this. I'd get my money back if I hadn't just borrowed it from a friend who didn't warn me about how awful it is.

      Near the beginning of the movie, at Joy-Joy tavern, you can still hear hear KG's flute playing, although she is clearly not playing it, but dancing with it in her hand.
