The “Land of the Panda” section contains quite a few features, but only a few are worth it. “Inside the Chinese Zodiac” is a fun, informative little feature that lets you find out what sign you are, and information about that sign. “Animals of Kung Fu” explains where the different styles of kung fu came from, and why animals were chosen to represent them. “Do You Kun Fu” is a short segment where children, who have been trained in certain styles of kung fu, show you the basics. This is a fairly informative section, and will be well received by your kids.
Ending Thoughts
This is a fun little disc, but it comes in its own DVD case (which takes up more room) and it’s not actually another movie. I think this disc would be better suited to just be included with Kung Fu Panda in its normal case. Then it could be a two-disc special edition. I can see Dreamworks releasing an edition like that in the future, which is a shame because they should have done it this time. There’s no reason this disc deserves its own case or deserves to be billed as an extra movie.
Having said all that, this is a cute little feature that teaches some good lessons. It has some worthwhile special features, and is a nice companion to the full-length feature movie.
