Summary: fun but with problems
Review: Good points:* Mimiko (main character) is an independent little girl who shops, cooks, cleans, and takes care of everyone who happens to live in her house. * There are lots of animals * There is lots of fun adventures and laughter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bad points: * Mimiko's underwear is ALWAYS showing from underneath her extremelly short dress * We constantly see children say OK to adults' requests then as soon as the adults' backs are turned the children do exactly what they were not supposed to do! Example: Mimiko tells the baby panda to "stay off the train tracks". He says "OK." She goes around the corner and he goes straight for the train tracks. * Papa Panda smokes a pipe

Summary: Great Purchase
Review: I bought this item solely based on the fact that Hayao Miyazaki was involved in its production. It is a very cute story and there are hints of his later work here. If you enjoy cute non-action oriented animation you will probably love this title. If you need lots of fight scenes and supernatural powers in your anime then why are you even reading this review? Just buy it.

Summary: It's for the kiddies?
Review: I guess I'm a kid at heart as I'm > 30 and I love it.
I've got the DVD and of course can't stand the DUB, and I always watch it with the SUB. Hora! Hora! Mitte! Mitte! Tabemasho ka? Panchan, Papandasan and Mimikochan are the bomb. Torachan is pretty cool too. Japanese is in mono audio, English is in stereo. 2 episodes.
I think I like it less than Kiki and more than Totoro.

Summary: Your little kids will love it!
Review: I have the original version in Japanese. The music is a little bit monotonous, but my son who is just 18 months seems to enjoy it. The film teach some good family values, but the tempo is extremely slow, but again, my son really enjoys all those cute character scenes!

Summary: Cute is the word you are looking for
Review: I picked this up for my niece and nephew (ages 4 & 5), who are both devoted "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Kiki's Delivery Service" fans. I was pretty excited that they loved Miyazaki, and wanted to keep them interested. Well, they loved "Panda! Go Panda!" just as much as the other films. I was told they watched it five times in a row. Yay for Uncle Zack! Of all of Miyazaki's films, this one is truly aimed at the younger crowd. There is very little of the multi-level storytelling that you will find in his later films. The pandas (who talk, by the way. I was pretty surprised by this, as Totoro does not talk.) are bundles of cuteness. The animation is decent, with lots of bright kid-friendly colors. The DVD is great, as it offers both an English and Japanese soundtrack. (It's a good film for people learning Japanese, because the vocab is limited.) This is very rare for imported kid's films. And, I liked "Panda! Go Panda!" too. It's fun, light fare.

Review: I saw this film twice and its really cute. I'm an adult, so its not something I would watch as often as Spirited Away or Castle in the Sky. Its great for kids, but doesn't quite satisfy adults.
