Why We Rated This on for Ages 4 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Talks about finding the winner within you and being a "diamond in the rough/a work of art/but you've got to go all the way."
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    About "fighting" obviously, but doesn't discuss it in detail like the original.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Obvious tie in to Dreamworks' movie Kung-Fu Panda.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About `Kung Fu Fighting` (CD single)

Parents need to know that the lyrics of this title track from the Kung Fu Panda Soundtrack, are almost completely different from Carl Douglas' original version of the same name. There's less emphasis on the actual fighting, and more on finding the winner within and being a "diamond in the rough."

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the fact that so many movie stars and celebrities lend their talents and voices to animated films made today. Why do you think this is? Does it make you want to see a movie more when you know that stars are going to "be" the characters in it?
