KUNG FU PANDA is a CGI animated children's comedy about a Panda who is selected and trained as his village's top martial arts Dragon Warrior. It was classified 'PG' for mild martial arts action.

The mild martial arts action is very stylised and fantastical, with an emphasis on swooping and flying. There are mostly over-exaggerated kung fu moves, with occasional kicks and blows to the head and torso, and one encounter has a character putting his hands around another's neck and tightening. It was felt that a couple of the martial arts fights go slightly beyond what the BBFC Guidelines recommend at 'U': 'Mild violence only. Occasional mild threat or menace only'. The film's frequent humour quickly offers relief from any mildly tense or scary moments, and the overall message is very positive.
