Kung Fu Panda

I saw Kung Fu Panda today, and I really liked it. There is a scene after the credits, so stick around. But the credits are really great, too, so you'll want to stay anyway.
I almost lost my card case in the bathroom after the movie, though, so it was a good thing I went shopping right after or I might not have noticed until tomorrow. Thankfully it was still there when I realized I didn't have my cards, but I was really worried for a while.

I loved the opening! The style and Po's narration, the whole thing. "His enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness." "There's no charge for awesomeness...or attractiveness."
I also liked that it got off to a quick start. About fifteen minutes in and the premise is set up and ready to go. I mean, that really bugs me about some movies, where you go in knowing the premise, but then it takes half the movie to get to that point. Very few movies can pull that off (like Iron Man, although some might disagree with me on that).
I loved that Po was a fanboy. Still, maybe this was just me, but really, there was one or two too many fat jokes in there. Kinda rubbed me the wrong way.
Dan Folgler was the messenger duck! Why does he keep popping up in movies without me realizing it until the credits roll?
Is it kind of wrong that I already ship Po/Tigress and Viper/Po?

Also, with a line like "A peach cannot defeat Tai Lung?" shouldn't a peach have been, y'know, involved in his defeat? I kept waiting for that, but it never happened. I do like that they went back to the peach seed in the scene at the end, though.
Oh, and little Tai Lung and Tigress were so cute! I wanted to see Little Po, too, but that might have been overkill.
