Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness DVD Reviews
“..a spin-off animated series in the “Kung Fu Panda” franchise and takes place between the two films. Mike Wingert has done a great job stealing Jack Black’s voice to give life to Po. Lucy Lu and James Hong are the only cast returning from the series…This show doesn’t have the same charm of the films but it is still action-packed, funny and clever. So kids (and most adults) should have a blast with these episodes. There are seven episodes included out of over fifty episodes that has aired to date, but that still adds to nearly three hours of kung-fu action packed adventures. The episodes included are “Good Croc, Bad Croc”, episodes 6; “The Princess and the Po”, episode 2; “Chain Reaction. episode 4; “Bad Po”, episode 10; “Jailhouse Panda”, episode 8; “Father Crime”, episode 25; “Po Fans Out”, episode 18. This is a nice sample of the show’s first season but I still would rather get a complete season one DVD release.” MediaMIkes.com
“Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness is an engaging show. With humor for both kids and adults (and some nudges especially to grownups watching along), it offers life lessons through a fallible hero kids can relate to. The fighting sequences are a step above typical cartoon violence, and are actually choreographed so they're laced with more realism than you usually get. It's a show you can feel all right letting the kids watch…Taking over from Jack Black (Tropic Thunder) as the voice of Po is Mick Wingert (Jonah Hex: Motion Comics) who provides quite a convincing aping of Black's scatting bear. The writing of these episodes is a bit more heavy handed in terms of their presentations as mini morality plays, but that's typical of kids' shows when compared to the latitude of a feature film. However there's a nice balance of humor, though some of it is clearly aimed at adults (How many kids recognize a Christopher Walken impression?), and the stories are quickly paced and action-filled, which is what will keep little ones entertained.” DVD Verdict
