Two Thumbs Up for Panda, Not So Much For Furious Five

"The Furious Five movie is only 22 minutes long, so it's not really worth it to pay the extra $7. Stick with the single disc version and you'll be getting a lot more for your money."
Keep the Panda, Lose the Five

"I've got no issues with the feature film; it was just as good when I saw it in the theatres twice. But the Furious Five add-on is just a waste of time and money. It is about 30 minutes of backstory on the Furious Five as it explains how they came to study under Master Shifu. There are also some live-action demonstrations of their various fighting styles and a test to discover which kung fu style you are, but all in all it's just a waste. Get the movie only, save your money."
Furious Five only OK

"The Furious Five disk was a bit of a letdown. Much of the animation in the featurette (not a full blown feature) was not the usual high quality animation. Flashbacks were told in a different style of animation. Just not up to expectations of the main movie. Also, even if you get the fullscreen version of Kung Fu Panda, it seems as though the Furious Five disk is in widescreen (at least mine was). And, I should add that the price on Amazon.com was NOT as good as other places on the release date."
Incredible Movie Making

"As a harsh movie critic, I expected this movie to be full of stupid humor with a ridiculous story line. I was pleasantly surprised, and laughed all the way through. My niece and nephews (Age 2 and 5) love it. Even their dads were laughing. There's a good lesson, and this movie is all around well written, scripted, acted, animated and artistic."
The Secret Ingredient

"Funny and entertaining from beginning to end. Soft edge animation at its best. A Pixar could be. Each caracter is very well rendered according to his own personality. If you like Kung Fu movies from the 70's, this film is for you. If you have kids who like cuddly animals, this picture will become a instant family classic."
