Fu Panda Eng !link!: Kung

The English script avoids over-explaining. Instead, it relies on repetition and context. For example, inner peace is shown through Oogway’s meditation and Shifu’s eventual calmness. Critics praised the English writing for being emotionally mature without cynicism. Roger Ebert wrote: “The dialogue is witty and surprisingly wise.” The film holds a 97% “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes for its English version.
