Robots, Kung Fu, and the Popcorn ...

If you like animated movies but haven't seen Kung Fu Panda or Wall-E, you really should. Dh and I watched both of the films earlier tonight. I won't go into great detail and spoil it for other movie lovers.

KFP (Kung Fu Panda) portrays its main character, Po (Jack Black), as a panda who faces a few challenges on his path to discovering his inner strength. There have been a few animated movies which bear a strong resemblance to this premise. KFP differentiates in regards to diversity and camaraderie. Various walks of life are able to work together, gaining respect for one another in the quest for peace.

Wall-E opens with a solitary robot, Wall-E, who goes about compacting and organizing trash which has taken over the world (due to humans, naturally). After Wall-E encounters a robot sent to Earth, his life takes a 180 degree turn. With more encounters along the way, he inadvertently changes the course of the planet and others lives.

Humor abound in both movies, I have to say. Impressive graphics and effects were duly noted as well. Both movies definitely fit the "feel good" category. If you need a good laugh, Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E will surely satisfy the funny bone crave.
