The Little Panda Fighter (2009)

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Best movie ever!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This "movie" is dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. When the characters aren't talking so fast you can barely understand them, they take long unnecessary pauses that serve no purpose but to pad out runtime. Speaking of, thankfully it's only around 50 minutes long. I don't think the average human can bear watching this for any longer than that. The plot is so strange. Basically a bear named Pancada who is a dancer works in a bar/boxing ring and his boss used to be a pro boxer, but can't get back in the ring for some unimportant reason. So, he wears a disguise that got shrunk in the washing machine so he ends up looking like Pancada. He wins the fight and people mistake the boss for the main character. Pancada then says he wants to fight the guy himself and gets his ass kicked. He then gives up and pursues his dancing career. The end. So not only is this plot boring and pointless, there isn't even a moral! Never buy this... product. It's not even a movie at this point. It only exists to cash in on Kung Fu Panda. Anyways, the voice acting is awful. As mention earlier, they're either talking exteremly fast or extremely slow, there's no in between. Overall, this product is an insult to the art form. Never buy it.

Man, I'm not sure whether to sh*t or wind my watch. This is one of the best animes I've ever seen. The way they wrote a story about a panda's struggle with complex mental issues combined with heroin is simply breathtaking. Loved the beautiful animation, soundtrack, and deep storyline. 10/10, would watch completely stoned again.

Seeing how Ratatoing is probably the worst animated film ever, saying that Little Panda Fighter isn't as bad is saying nothing at all.Let's start with the good: With a little work (I mean, a lot of work), the plot of the movie could actually be plausible as a real movie. But get rid of the bears. Why would you have bears? Just to copy Kung Fu Panda?Bad: Yet again Video Brinquedo just shows how talent-less it's animators are. Oh, God. If cancer were a show, this would be it.Verdict: Although this is undoubtedly a kids film, don't even show it to your kids, unless you want to stunt their growth and ruin their childhood. And in that case the CPS will be over you in a jiffy.

Only once in my life have I watched a worse movie than this, and that was Leo the Lion.First things first, I must point out that my "friend" Logan Jones, whose reviews you can currently find on Leo the Lion and Ivan the Incredible, led me to this garbage movie. I have never known a worse person in my life. Watching this movie was the worst 50 minutes of my entire life, with the worst 80 minutes being those of Leo the Lion.I'm just going to jump right into my many complaints. Starting off, animation-wise, I could have done better in my garage. Essentially, this movie is animated like a terrible computer game created by a classroom of high school students somewhere. No, no it isn't. That would be a major insult to every high school student who has ever tried computer animation even once. This movie exhibits slow, stiff animation which is capitalized upon by characters with three fingers, pixelated shadows, repetitive elevator music playing through the entire thing, Polaris's chest changing shape three times, and three, count 'em, three scenes in which Pancada clocks in at a trim fourteen seconds to get from Polaris's door to his desk. Also, the movie makes a point of filming Pancada as he takes a long twenty-one seconds to cross a small bridge.Now, word on the acting and script writing. The script sounds like it was written in about thirty minutes and is acted out with zero emotion. The gap between lines is either non-existent or five seconds long. They also use off-brand expressions such as 'no skin off my back' and 'what a cry and shame' which I have only used conversationally with Logan Jones since watching this movie. The script is extremely predictable and yet you'll find yourself hating it even more for how non-chalantly it is delivered. Of course, to truly understand how disgusting this script and acting are, you'll have to watch it yourself, but at your own risk.Finally, I must point out the movie's many plot deficiencies. This bear Pancada goes through the whole movie talking about how 'I want to be a dancer' and he plays this 'dancer caught in a fighter's world' kind of part, so he tries out for dancing and fails, moving on to learning to box, (and on a side note, why have it in this martial arts setting and make it all about boxing and dancing???) which leaves you wondering what that whole dance fiasco was about, and then that Sheafoo guy tells him that 'fight how you dance' stuff which makes no sense since his dancing evidently sucked. So then he goes to fight in a match Polaris had no reason not to fight (because somehow everyone thought his entire stature changed and that Polaris dressed as him was now him) and loses that as well. So we know he's a complete loser at this point when we learn that Polaris had bet all his money AGAINST him, making Polaris rich. Finally I must ask: What sick, twisted message does THAT send to whatever kid watches this? So by looking at the DVD cover and even hearing the title you know this is trying to rip off Kung Fu Panda, using the exact same misty valley imagery as in Kung Fu Panda (which, by the way, never appears in this movie itself) and having Pancada striking virtually the same pose on the cover, but, I ask you, just how well did this cheap ripoff live up to the original?
