very disappointing
From the advertisments for this DVD, we thought we were getting a full length movie. It was only 24 minutes long and did not have all of the characters. My son was very disappointed and even though we only paid $4 including shipping, it was too much for this.
good but too short
After all the hype, I expected more for my money - it wasn't worth what I paid at Wal-mart. However, I did like the video. Here's the problem I had - it's presented as one movie, but it is not a real continuous story for the whole disk. Instead it is Po telling the stories of the Furious Five to a bunch of little kids he has to teach. It seemed to me like 5 "shorts" and not a single story. That's why I only gave 4 stars. Others may not feel the same.I recommend it because it retains the fun, the chinese culture, the good moral lessons, and is true to the characters as seen in the first movie...as kids themselves.It is also fun to learn the Kung Fu Panda dance, a disk extra.Buy on sale and have fun.
NOT FEATURE LENGTH
This is an animated short on sale at regular dvd prices, beware! I thought this was a feature-length spin-off of kung fu panda but it's only 20 minutes long.
Furious Five
Es un disco el cual no ha llegao a mi pais... bueno y recomendado para el coleccionista de la saga...
My kids love it, but its short for the money!
i was able to get this with free super saver shipping from a third party so i paid a 1/3 of what amazon is asking, therefore i feel it was a fair price, but i would probably would have felt a little disappointed had i of paid full price. the movie is super cute and it tells you how each of the furious five(snake, mantis, tigeress, monkey, crane) all became the super heroes they are through the storytelling of panda. panda is in charge of teaching a new generations of kids(bunnies) the art of kung fu and he starts by telling them how their heroes became masters of kung fu. the movie is only 24 minutes which is think isnt long enough to be asking almost the full price of a normal dvd. if you can get this at a discount i would say go for it if your kids love it. mine do and theyve watched this over and over.
Very cute!
I was slightly disappointing because I was expecting it to be one episode for EACH of the furious five not all crammed into one! >.< I feel like they could have taken the story a little more in depth, especially if they have made it into several episodes. I especially thought monkey's story was lacking and neglected, especially in comparison to Viper and Tigress' stories... and the animation was not as up to par as the movie but that's not really that big of a deal.On the other hand it was adorable! It was great to know the backgrounds of the furious five and I especially loved Tigress' story and it actually can help make some connections in King Fu Panda 2! Very cute, great for kids and kung fu panda fans a like!!
