The animation in Kung Fu Panda is phenomenal. The lighting glimmered as the sun moved across the day. I could almost feel most of textures on my fingers. There are hysterical stop motion sequences that shamelessly draw the attention of the audience right into the story. Dan Wagner, the head of character animation, earned every penny as the head character animator because the characters sparkled with life. My one exception would be Tigress, often comes off flat. All in all, my eyes were remarkably satisfied by the exceptionally beautiful animation.
