Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting!

Get ready for fist-flying, high-kicking action when an oversized panda trains to become a martial arts master in Kung Fu Panda




Po the Panda is chubby, lazy and spends his days working in his family’s noodle shop located in the beautiful Valley of Peace. But that doesn’t stop Po from believing that one day he could become a kung fu master.

 

Of course Po isn’t who the village elders turn to when they learn the evil snow leopard Tai Lung is threatening to attack the Valley of Peace. An ancient prophesy declares that a Chosen One will appear to save the day, and five famous kung fu masters — Master Crane, Master Tigress, Master Viper, Master Monkey and Master Mantis — compete in a series of tests to see which one of them is the Chosen One.

 

However, they are all shocked to learn it is actually Po who was born with the special mark and that he is the Chosen One!

 

So it’s up to the wise — but very demanding — Master Shifu to train Po alongside the “Furious Five” so they can work together to defeat Tai Lung in battle.

 

But Po isn’t about to give up his bad habits so easily. Can a gentle, roly-poly Panda tap into his inner warrior? And will he be able to turn his weaknesses into his strengths?
