- Mike J.: Hello, I'm a British person, and as you may or may not know, I love a good rip-off. After all, I do model my own image on that of David Beckham's... but better. But what I'm not so much a fan of is when filmmakers take a popular animated movie and try to copy it as shamlessly as possible. But one animated movie which may have been ripped off more than all the others is 2008's Kung Fu Panda, starring Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, and Michael Clarke Duncan, amongst others. The movie is much better than most people expected and spawned a sequel in 2011, which was also pretty good, and a third is even on the way for 2016. But what the filmmakers weren't keen on spawning was... well...

- Mike J.: Well they do say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, so let's take a look at Kung Fu Rabbit. I watch it so you don't have to.

- Mike J.: Kung Fu Rabbit is a terrible film. The animation goes from good to awful, and the dubbing is just plain dreadful. It has a long, boring story which is stretched far too thin, meaning it's padded with pointless filler, which just makes the film a chore to watch. But do you know what hurts even more? There is an even worse Kung Fu Panda rip-off film out there, which I'm going to take a look at next time.

- Mike J.: If I make it.
