I watched Kung Fu Panda on Saturday with my sister and nephews. I liked it, not loved it, but a sweet enjoyable movie. What made me laugh was realizing that Po, the panda voiced by Jack Black is a compulsive overeater. Don't believe me? That bear would do anything for food when upset. He broke through cabinet doors, climbed crazy heights and had no idea what he was doing until it was pointed out. The master used his drive for food to train him. They battled over dumplings. To climb to a impossible rooftop he pictured an almond cookie to get himself up there. It was funny to me, but if they replaced that with alcohol or heroin it would be just as accurate but unsuitable for children. (Unless this was a 1920s cartoon, then it would be a jug with XXX on it instead of cookies.)
