    Interesteg What makes it different from others?
    Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
    Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
    Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
    SnoopyStyle It's the continuing adventures of Po, the Dragon Warrior. He and his friends, the Furious Five, protect the Valley of Peace under the guidance of Shifu from various villains.This brings the cinematic cartoon onto the TV screen. There are a couple actors reprising their voice work. Mostly, it's new people recreating the memorable voices. The characters and the work is very similar to the cinematic franchise except there are no big 3D action. The stories are nice and the characters are fun. There is nothing offensive or terribly edgy. This is a fine family cartoon for the younger crowd and adults should be fine watching it with them.
    adonis98-743-186503 Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness tells the continuing adventures of Po as he trains, protects, fights, teaches, learns, stumbles, talks too much, and geeks out as the newest hero in the Valley of Peace. Now living in the barracks with the Furious Five, Po will have to take on his many new responsibilities, his many new adversaries, and his many old pounds in the continuing adventures of the Dragon Warrior. And kick some serious boo-tay. Great show but it misses the talented voices from the actual movies and that's a bummer although Jack Black opens the show in the opening titles it does offer new things tho like villains and foes but i still believe that the films are way better but still pretty cool show.
    Wraithldr13 I watched a couple episodes of this show. I'm not going to lie. I TRIED. I really, REALLY tried to justify its existence to myself. I just couldn't do it. I will give the devil his due a little: Is the show funny? At times, yes. Very much so. Is the voice acting good? In some cases, yes.This show IS actually much better than some of the other kids shows on television these days. It DOES succeed where many other cartoons tend to fall flat on their face. Okay, enough devil due giving. What I truly dislike about this show, is that it has taken a movie franchise that appealed to ALL ages, and turned it into something that appeals ONLY to little kids. Why?Where the movies were humorous, the show is downright silly.Where the movies had dramatic, tense moments and PLOT, the show has none. The characters in the movies had depth and the viewer could really care about them. Not so in the show. The characters in the show are very static representations of their basic dispositions in the film.Po is pretty much a clumsy fool. Shifu is flat-out strict and almost unpleasant. Monkey is just a goof-ball through and through. Mantis is CONSTANTLY landing wisecracks. Crane's sarcasm is actually palpable. Viper is......well...Bubbles. Tigress is just a grouch.Where the animation in the movies was excellent and even beautiful at times. The animation in the show is just agonizingly stiff and clumsy.Also, really, here's the gist of almost every episode of the show: Po causes problem. Rest of the characters grudgingly help Po solve said problem. Rinse, repeat. Now, for a kid's show, it's a perfect formula. And, as I've said, it's quite funny when it wants to be. But, why did they have to do it to THIS franchise? They really couldn't have picked anything else? I dislike this show not because it's a kids show, but because it has sucked out everything that I love about the feature films. Why couldn't they have produced a show that was story driven but still kid friendly like the movies? It's not like Nickelodeon hasn't aired a show like that in the past. Most Nickelodeon watchers will remember a show a few years back by the name of Avatar: The Last Airbender.All in all, it's a solid cartoon for kids to enjoy, but it's a severe discredit to the films.
    Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) After having seen the first two Kung Fu Panda films, I became hyped and was anticipated to watch this TV show. Then, after hearing the catchy theme song, I was totally blown away. While I will admit that the show is not nearly as solid as the first two films, it's still an entertaining show for kids to watch.The second and third seasons have improved as the show is still in progress, but the first season does have some problems. It's does get repetitive in it's formula (Po makes a mistake, has to fix it, rinse and repeat) and it does drag a bit in most episodes.Aside from it's flaws, there's a lot to like about this show. The CGI animation is cute and lovely with the similar detailed backgrounds of the Valley of Peace and the Jade Palace along with new places while using the traditional animation in the flashbacks that shows how every single villain Po and the Furious Five face became evil in each episode.Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness is packed with surprisingly good action and clever comedy thanks to its witty dialog. The voice actors did very decent voicing the movie counterparts with the return of Lucy Liu and James Hong and not to mention most of the other voice actors that we've seen in most TV shows for kids (Kevin Michael Richardson, Wallace Shawn, John DiMaggio, etc.)I understand that this show is getting some hatred including fans of the first two, but I don't think it's as bad as some say it is aside from what I've said about the first season. Seeing as how the second and third seasons diverged itself from the same formula, I think kids will enjoy this as much as those who saw the films.
