Kung Fu Panda 3 review - the best action around!

Po and co are back to face their greatest challenge yet – Pandas!

The Kung Fu Panda series operates like some kind of extra special treat. With only three films since 2008, it’s a little bit of confectionary that comes long when you least expct it. and the same is true of the third entry in the series.

There’s something special about these movies and I think it comes from their unique combination of elements. It starts with an utterly gorgeous art style with heavy Eastern influences that sets its apart from most animated films. Then there’s the ready humour and enthusiasm which Jack Black brings to the central role, and the extra edge of drama and emotional weight which the stories bring, dealing with themes of family and friendship and love.
