Introduction
Speak not, lie hidden, and conceal
the way you dream, the things you feel.
Deep in your spirit let them rise
akin to stars in crystal skies
that set before the night is blurred:
delight in them and speak no word.
How can a heart expression find?
How should another know your mind?
Will he discern what quickens you?
A thought once uttered is untrue.
Dimmed is the fountainhead when stirred:
drink at the source and speak no word.
Live in your inner self alone
within your soul a world has grown,
the magic of veiled thoughts that might
be blinded by the outer light,
drowned in the noise of day, unheard...
take in their song and speak no word.

Okay, this post is entirely for Sutha. Wah, I didn't expect such a strong reaction from her! KFP was OKAY, not that great as 'The Incredibles' or even 'Ratatouille' both of which I thoroughly enjoyed. And this reviewer seems to have nailed it, as to why:
'It is not all Jack Black’s fault that this movie did not reach me, although he is partially responsible. When Robin Williams took the genie in Aladdin and made him a crazy, hyperactive version of himself, it still worked. You were listening to Robin Williams, and you knew it was Robin Williams, but it was Robin Williams as the genie. I can’t get past the fact that I am listening to Jack Black playing a version of Jack Black in this movie. The fault of this lies in the script.
It never reaches higher than easy jokes and simple visual gags. In the days of Pixar, and even smart pop culture movies like DreamWorks own Shrek, this film never comes close to the bar of creativity and originality those movies set.

It has been asked recently if Kung Fu Panda would beat out the next Disney effort Wall-E both in financial box office totals as well as critical acclaim. I don’t think it will. Kung Fu Panda will not be a movie that has a long life span. For kids, it is the best flavor of the day. You have a fat panda kung fu fighter with funny lines which will make a perfect toy to keep kids occupied until the next big thing comes along. However, for animated films geared towards kids, the life expectancy is only as long as the next big attention grabber. For a movie to reach a wider audience and become a great animated film it needs to reach adults and I don’t think Kung Fu Panda attempts to reach that level during its entire running time. '
I am looking forward to Wall-E! Looks like a spoof of E.T! :D
