Following the adventures of the titular Po Ping (primarily voiced by Jack Black and Mick Wingert), a giant panda who is improbably chosen as the prophesied Dragon Warrior and becomes a master of kung fu, the franchise is set in a fantasy wuxia genre version of ancient China populated by anthropomorphic animals. But anyway, go see Kung Fu Panda 3.Kung Fu Panda is an American media franchise that originally started in 2008 with the release of the animated feature film of the same name, produced by DreamWorks Animation. If the franchise ended here i would be happy, i would love more from the characters and the world built around them, but i really don't want the franchise to outstay it's welcome at the same time. The film manages to stay on par with both previous films and has all the humour and kung fu action you can expect from it. If you are a fan of the other films in the Kung Fu Panda franchise like i am then you won't be disappointed. I don't know what it is but i love this character and wanted more of him. The standout for the limited screen time he has is Seth Rogen's Mantis. The members of the furious 5 however do get less screen time, even Angelina Jolie's Tigress although she does play the biggest role of the 5. So for a start the story is brilliant, it keeps everyone entertained and never lingers on for too long. Po embarks on a journey to a secret panda village to himself master 'Chi' and take out Kai for good. He adds his own stamp to this character and gives us a badass villain, like Cranston becoming a welcome edition. After a bad session he meets his father by chance and finds out about a new supernatural threat from the spirit realm, played by the brilliant J.K Simmons. The story follows Po as he is asked to teach the furious 5 so Shifu can retire and master 'Chi'. I give praise for this for the simple reason that Bryan Cranston is AWESOME and really stands out in a movie that already has some brilliant stars, he was so funny and heartwarming as Po's biological father and makes a welcome addition to the cast. These films always deal with acceptance and Kung Fu Panda 3 is no exception, with an added family element.
Jack Black returns as the lovable Po, and shows us just why we missed him so much in the years we had to wait. Kung fu panda is a concept so ridiculous that we think to ourselves.
