Her compassion and persistence keep her from being too melancholy a character.<\/p>\n<p>Jin begins as a self-obsessed jerk, but during the story he grows and becomes much more likeable.<\/p>\n<p>As for Peng, he\u2019s mainly the comedic relief of the group. While he\u2019s not always funny, he\u2019s still a nice addition to the cast.<\/p>\n<p>Though the villains do present a challenge to the protagonists, they aren\u2019t the most intimidating bunch of antagonists. In fact, a few of the henchmen had some of the funnier lines in the film.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the villains do develop in interesting ways that added some nice small twists to the story.<\/p>\n<p>An aspect of the movie that is worth noting is how its animators were able to recreate the breathtaking scenery of China and Nepal. Whether it\u2019s city or countryside, it\u2019s obvious a lot of work went into making everything look beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this was a pretty good film.
