The Story
Po the panda (Jack Black) is an enthusiastic kung fu groupie who dreams of fighting alongside his heroes, the Furious Five. By day, Po works in his dad’s noodle shop. But at night the panda’s dreams are full of kung fu adventures where he takes on the bad guys side by side with Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Crane (David Cross), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Monkey (Jackie Chan), and Viper (Lucy Liu). Po longs to train with Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), a strange looking creature in charge of the Furious Five and the mentor martial arts enthusiasts want to have as a guide in their kung fu studies.
But there’s one or two or maybe 100 reasons why Po’s dreams might never come true. He doesn’t know even the basic kung fu moves. He’s klutzy and easily distracted, and he’s severely overweight - even for a giant panda. Po loves food and it loves him right back, so his chance of ever being accepted into Master Shifu’s group appears to be about as likely as landing a spokesperson spot for a fitness center.
However, unlikely as it may seem, an ancient turtle named Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) names Po as the new Dragon Warrior. This news doesn’t sit well with members of the Furious Five who were all in the running for the title until Po interrupted their Dragon Warrior ceremony. Meanwhile, a vengeful tiger named Tai Lung (Ian McShane), who years earlier had turned to the dark side after being denied the Dragon Warrior title he believed he deserved, escapes from his heavily guarded prison cell. His goal: to exact his revenge on Shifu and his followers. Now it’s time for a showdown between the brand spanking new Dragon Warrior and the astonishingly skilled and highly lethal Tai Lung. In order to conquer his enemy, Po must first understand the philosophy behind kung fu and learn what it really takes to be the Dragon Warrior.
