REVIEW
The target audience of young ones will thoroughly enjoy themselves. Their older companions might well tire of the many fight scenes but for the kids, there never seems to be enough of that stuff.

The rendering of detail is remarkable and the colours bright. The central theme of accepting oneself is a good lesson to learn amongst all the mayhem. Adding to the enjoyment is the musical score by Hans Zimmer.

CLASSIFICATION
for sequences of martial arts action and mild violence.
