The Backseat Critics
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
This week we are diving into Kung Fu & Animation as we take a measured look at Kung Fu Panda from 2008. Is this a staple Dreamworks movie? Does it hold up against the test of time? Does it work as a good intro to kung fu movies? Join us as we dive into these questions and more on another episode of the Backseat Critics.
