4. Kung Fu Panda (2008)
A masterpiece from DreamWorks Animation. Comedy, respect, support for each other, and awesome fight scenes – all blended perfectly in one great storyline.

Will Ferrell is a comedy legend. We love many of his films, but this one – a sci-fi comedy – will have you laughing out loud! If you feel super bored, this will be sure to cheer you up. Will travels to the Lost Land, sort of a parallel universe with no normal civilization. It sounds zany and it is, but also highly entertaining.
