Kung Fu Panda 3 Blu-ray ReviewFirst two times were the charm.
Third time's just a fun ride with old friends.Reviewed by, July 1, 2016DreamWorks is no stranger to the great animated film, and it's certainly no stranger to the great animated film franchise. From to, the world's top animation studio not named 'Disney' or'Pixar' has captured the imaginations of audiences around the world with a steady stream of unforgettable characters, big adventures, plenty oflaughs, tons of heart, and cutting edge digital craftsmanship. Arguably the greatest of all the studio's successes, and this reviewer would argue in allof digital animation-dom, is the, now three films strong and telling the story of Po, a gluttonous,overweight Panda who may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound - or climb up more than a couple of its stairs before collapsing fromexhaustion - but who has mastered the art of Kung Fu, gained the respect of his much more agile peers, and foiled many an attempt to take overthe world and whatnot. The movies are as fun as they are cuddly, as sharp as any animated feature out there, and voiced to perfection. The latestinstallment sees Po reconnect with his roots when his world, and everyone he loves, is threatened by a new menace who harnesses the mostdangerous power Po has yet faced.Po Pose!It's Master Shifu's (voiced by Dustin Hoffman) last day on the job.
He's handing teaching duties over to the Dragon Warrior, Po (voiced by JackBlack), in hopes of escaping to solitude to master his inner chi. Po's training isn't exactly as precise. He concocts wild trials and tribulations thatleave all members of the Furious Five - Tigress (voiced by Angelina Jolie), Mantis (voiced by Seth Rogen), Monkey (voted by Jackie Chan), Viper(voiced by Lucy Liu), and Crane (voiced David Cross) - battered and bruised and Po's name forever soiled in the training arena. But things areabout to get just a little bit wild. Turns out it's Po who is in need of finding his inner chi, a power that's sure to be handy when he and theteamface off against their biggest threat, the dangerous Kai (voiced J.
But to find his inner chi, Po must find himself. To do that, he mustknowhimself, better than he already does. Enter a mysterious visitor named Li Shan (voiced by Bryan Cranston) who claims Po as his own andconvinces the rotund Panda to return to his roots and discover who he is and from where he has come.Kung Fu Panda 3 delivers a risk-averse continuation of the franchise. Neither as consistently funny nor dramatically relevant as the firsttwo entries, this third film largely settles into routine, which means it's still a good bit better than many of its peers but a mild disappointmentwithin the franchise canon.
The story revolves around crude combat antics as Po and his friends - a much larger cadre of them this go-round -battle a new and even more sinister fiend. But beyond that, and more interesting, too, is the story of Po's emotional maturity as he reconnectswith his past which, in turn, aligns him with his future and deeper inner powers that extend beyond his ability to punch and kick (and, of course,consume mass quantities of dumplings and noodles). Kung Fu Panda 3 unsurprisingly looks fantastic on Blu-ray. Fox/DreamWorks' 1080p presentation is a sight to behold, another example ofhow the Blu-ray medium can really pounce on material like this and dazzle even after all these years. The image is slick and clean. Details areridiculously impressive, with obvious things like animal fur the highlight considering density, movement, and overall clarity.
Yet it's often otherelements that really shine, particularly considering the attention to detail in background and support elements. Attire - Po's patchwork pants, moreresplendent garments on characters like Master Shifu and his silky robe - reveal seemingly every textural nuance the digital animators have throwninto them. Naturalvegetation, wooden planks, old armor, just about anything and everything from the world of Kung Fu Panda looks magnificent. Colors areextraordinary, too. Pop is plentiful, balance bountiful, and shading just right. Perhaps the single best example comes in the ridiculously lush greenpastures of Po's panda populated home.
It's a rich, attractive green that's very well saturated and about the most heavenly shade of natural green onecan imagine. The more stylized segments are sharp and clear, and even a purple-tinted montage sequence looks gorgeous. Black levels hold firm. Notechnical shortcomings were observed beyond a brief blast of aliasing visible on a set of stairs leading up (and up and up some more, to Po's dismay)to the Hall of Heroes. Fans should expect thebest from a movie like this, and the studio delivers. Kung Fu Panda 3 rolls onto Blu-ray with a somewhat underscored, but nevertheless very effective, DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 losslesssoundtrack. The added back channels add a very clearly defined layer of sound to the experience, creating a fuller, more immersive sound field to besure that's used to nearly constant effect, outside of dialogue scenes.
Battle sequences, training montages, anything with commotion of excessmovement yield high activity sound immersion, with precise imaging and directional detailing to enjoy. Music follows suit, playing with a pleasantlyimmersive, though never aggressive, posturing.
Bass is present throughout, but the low end never hits too terribly hard. It's instead a very deepvariety of bass, never superficial but elegantly supportive in every way.
Clearly defined and prioritized dialogue round a fantastic track into shape. Kung Fu Panda 3 contains an assortment of kid-friendly bonus features. A DVD copy of the film and a voucher for a UV/iTunes digital copyare included with purchase. Everybody Loves a Panda Party (1080p, 2:34): Pandas sing and dance to their unique spin on 'Kung FuFighting.'
Kung Fu Panda 3 doesn't innovate like the first film or capture the imagination or dramatic satisfaction of the second, but it's a solid enoughentry into the franchise that smartly grows the characters and expands the universe while remaining comfortably within established lore. There's notenough pull or dazzle to leave the audience anticipating a potential fourth entry as there was for a third, but that said the movie accomplishes its basicgoals with plenty of enthusiasm, from the storytellers (and Jack Black in particular, who is crucial in creatively developing Po) to the digital animatorswho have once again blown through all reasonable expectations of excellence and crafted what can be heralded, again, as amongst the current best themedium has to offer from a technical perspective. Fox/DreamWorks' Blu-ray release of Kung Fu Panda 3 delivers the top-flight 1080p videoandlossless audio fans have come to expect. Supplements are a bit on the kid-centric and fluffy side of the equation, but there's some good stuff for fansof all ages.
It's a shame a UHD wasn't released alongside, but it's difficult to imagine a significantly better technical package than this. Very highlyrecommended.
Kung Fu Panda 3 is the 2016 third installment to 's franchise, and the sequel to. It is the first film of the franchise, as well as any DreamWorks movie in general, to be co-produced by Oriental DreamWorks in.In the realm of the spirits, faces an opponent from the past, the evil spirit Kai. Kai has waited five hundred years, gathering enough chi from late kung fu masters and return to the world of the living, something he succeeds in. Meanwhile, in the Valley of Peace, Po learns that Shifu is retiring and, a position Po struggles to handle.
His mind is soon diverted, however, as he is faced with the arrival of his biological father, Li Shan , who takes him to a hidden panda paradise in the mountains. Things quickly go downhill when Kai arrives and wreaks havoc at the Jade Palace, leaving Tigress the only one to escape and warn Po of the approaching threat.
Now, Po must gather his teaching skills in order to that will help him defeat Kai, while also learning how to master the power of.:. Master Porcupine's jombie uses a bow and what looks like his own quills as arrows.
During the pre-climax fight, the panda children using firecrackers and.: Kai's jade swords on chains can can pierce through and slice solid rock.: Li Shan helps create the panda army that ends up defeating Kai's jombies in the by lying to his son about knowing about chi and bringing him to the village. It does help that he wants his son's respect back after he has to admit he's lied to him, and studies the chi manipulation technique while Po does training sessions for everyone in the village.: Kai can see and otherwise sense through his jade zombie minions. But this backfires during the thanks to the various kinds of abuse the pandas give them.: You might say knows.: Kai lets out an amused chuckle when he saw one of his Jombies by the two hammock-catapult Pandas in midair.
Seriously?.:. Played straight with Li Shan who finds his son after twenty years only to learn he's a famous warrior who fights enemies on a daily basis. When Li Shan learns that an even more threatening foe is approaching, whose jombies thoroughly thrash Po, Li decides to lie about knowing how to master chi in order to bring Po with him to the panda village and out of harm's way. There's also once more Mr. Ping's fear that he will end up rejected as Po's dad now that his biological father has appeared.
He insists on coming along to the panda village, on the pretext of making Po's favorite foods and worries about cooking in the panda village. He mellows on seeing that all the baby pandas like his cooking after running him ragged, on learning that Li lied to keep Po safe, and on seeing Po train himself to prepare for battle. He then reaches out to Li Shan with dumplings and talks about how they're. Li Shan and Mr.
Ping are frantic when Po does a and goes to the Spirit Realm with Kai. When Po comes back, both dads hug him while Mr.
Ping is chiding 'Don't you go disappearing into petals again!' .:. Mei Mei is a surprisingly minor character given how much attention she got in the promotional material. Note how she's present on ◊, while Li Shan, indisputably a much more important character, is absent. Bao as well, considering that he was promoted in behind-the-scenes features and even made playable in the tie-in fighting game (with his actor being one of the few from the films to retain his voice actor, even). In the movie, he gets very few lines and is just another one of the panda kids along with the others.: Po briefly runs like this in the opening montage with him and the Five.: Po is victim to this once again, this time due to his biological father. Shifu and the Five's first impression of Li is him repeating 'I'm gonna getcha!'
In a baby talk voice to Po while everyone else looks on awkwardly.: Inverted, albeit with the Chinese cover for the film rather than the Japanese. The American cover has an emphasis on cuteness, showing a confused Po among the other pandas. The Chinese poster, on the other hand, has a much more serious focus, with Po in an (as well as wearing his Spirit Realm clothes), being with the Furious Five, and featuring Kai as an.: Kai, who was sealed away five hundred years ago when Oogway was young. Po: I don't wanna be more! I like who I am!Shifu: You don't even know who you are.Po: What do you-Of course I do! I'm the Dragon Warrior!Shifu: And what exactly does that mean, Dragon Warrior?.: Because of new animation software, all of the character models were rebuilt for this film.
This is perhaps most visible with Po who overall has a slimmer appearance than in the two previous films.: Some of the flashback scenes were presented in 2-D animation, while the with Po has a more stylised 3-D effect.: Mr. Ping had minor roles in the last two movies but here he's the Triagonist of the film.: Tigress and Lei Lei during the battle against the jombies in the Panda Village. Lei Lei even helps out a little.:.
Delivered by Po at the: 'Am I the son of a panda? The son of a goose? I'm all of them. The Dragon Warrior!' . Bonus: 'Get it?
See the giant dragon??' . Tigress gets a brief one herself during Kai's attack on the Jade Palace. Kai mockingly calls her a 'little kitten', then proceeds to fight off Shifu, Monkey and Viper. Cue Tigress leaping at Kai and delivering a kick so powerful it emits a wave of chi, causing him to lose his blades and fall to his knees. Tigress: How's that for a 'little kitten'?!.:.
Twice with Shifu. First, after Kai speaks to the Jade Palace warriors through his jade zombies and identifies himself, it sounds as if Shifu (unlike everyone else so far) recognizes his name. But then he doesn't either.
After that, when researching in the scrolls for information on him, he finds a scroll in a special case which he says holds all the knowledge they seek. (and he even exclaims 'Again?!'
) before discovering the story when he unrolls it further. At the very beginning, we have Po boasting how 'Justice. Is about to be served!'
Followed by him and the Five racing to the Valley below in an extended action sequence, making it seem they're off to fight bad guys. Turns out they were just going to Mr. Ping's to have 'justice platters' for breakfast.: Oddly, nearly every panda except Po.: A literal example with Big Fun, since he's a panda bear and he likes to give out hugs.: This trope is the reason for the central theme of 3, that being 'You don't have to be anyone other than yourself.' But at the same time it adds 'But be the very best of yourself that you can possibly be.' .: Kai, the ancient warrior spirit, and a former friend of Oogway, is out to destroy his legacy and absorb everyone's chi to become all-powerful.: Po reunites with his biological father whom he hasn't seen since he was a cub. Later, Po remains in the spirit realm after having defeated Kai and finds himself reuniting with Oogway.:. Po says that this is a very important thing.
And to everyone's surprise, including his own, Shifu agrees, pointing out a proper entrance can get you the advantage before the fight actually starts. He then follows up with the 'dramatic exit': getting Po to so he can slip away.
In how Po is able to banish Kai back to the Spirit Realm.: Tigress develops this with Lei Lei.: Lei Lei is completely smitten with 'Stripy Baby' Tigress and is constantly by her side.: Delivered by Po when Shifu tells him that he will be the next teacher of the Furious Five. The rest of the gang doesn't exactly seem all that thrilled either, based on their own reactions.: Shifu gives Mantis one when he assigns him to team up with Crane. Crane: Master, what are we going to do?Shifu: You are going to find out where Kai is.
Follow the trail of those jade creatures, but do not engage, for with every foe he faces, Kai becomes stronger.Crane: Why me? Is it because I asked?Shifu: No. It is because you can fly. Go!Mantis: Should have kept your beak shut!
laughsShifu: And take Mantis.Mantis: What? Is it because I—Shifu: Yes.:.
The trilogy began with Po as a legendary, revered warrior in a robe and wearing a nice hat - albeit only in a dream. This film almost ends the same way, but under much different circumstances: Po only dons the outfit he wore in the opening of the first film after accepting himself as the Dragon Warrior after sending himself and Kai to the Spirit Realm. Po loses the outfit once he returns to the mortal realm, but he still ends the film and the trilogy as the legendary, revered warrior he once only dreamed he could be. In the film itself, Shifu states, 'Before the battle of the fists, comes the battle of the mind.' The lyrics finish the whole statement during the credits: 'When you don't know who you are, just look inside.'
.: Po's 'I think I just peed a little' line at seeing the full capability of Master Rhino's armor is changed in the Mandarin dub to 'This is too much'.: A goose is so frightened of meeting Kai.: Lei Lei, a little baby panda, takes Po's Tigress action figure and calls it 'Stripy Baby'. When Tigress appears, Lei Lei recognizes her and gives her a.: Hom-Lee, whose smile is, until he gets hit with nunchucks and his smile is straightened out.: Oogway returns in this film after having been completely absent from the second film (not counting the opening logo of that film) after his death in the first film. It turns out that he's been spending all this time in the spirit realm, and wasn't interested in leaving it.:. Master Chicken is pretty much nothing but comic relief. Including as a jombie. During the final battle in the Spirit World, once Po fully becomes the Dragon Warrior, the fight against Kai turns into a string of humiliations for the.:.
Po shows his father the Hall of Heroes, which includes the Urn of Whispering Warriors he broke in the first film having been repaired (not terribly well). And then it gets broken again when Li, having been discovered by Shifu and the Five, tosses away one of the weapons.
Po: Someone broke that. Once.Li: Who?Po: Some idiot. The flashback of Po's mother and Po as a baby is shown again, this time in 3D.
Lord Shen's feathers briefly flash in the background. The Wuxi Finger Hold of all things makes a return when Po attempts to use it against Kai. When Po becomes the Dragon Warrior, the move he uses to summon the spirit dragon is the one in 2, when he finds inner-peace, and redirects a droplet of rain onto a leaf on the ground, and later a cannonball back at the ship. Crane labeling every action starting with 'wings of' like he did with his 'Wings of Justice' attack from the second film. Mantis also announces his presence with 'Fear the Bug!' From the second film as well. As the second film, Shifu gripes about Po's speedy learning skill of lifelong techniques, once again muttering about him doing it at such a young age.
There is a brief flashback to the moment Oogway first chose Po as the Dragon Warrior, as Oogway reveals to Po that he chose him in part because he was a panda, and believed that he would be able to channel his C'hi.: Po to Li, after he reveals he lied about knowing how to master chi. Made all the more painful by how quiet, hurt, and bitter it is, rather than furious or browbeating like most examples of the trope.:. Lampshaded by Mantis when he comments on Crane's habit of shouting 'Wings of (X)!' Mantis tries 'Antenna of Power' later against Kai, except of course.
Shows up again later with Mantis after he gets grabbed by Lei Lei. It's easy to miss, but he shouts 'Antenna of Fear!' As he gets taken away. Mr. Ping and Li get into the act as well. 'DOUBLE DAD DEFENSE!'
. Po throws a few among simple orders in during his.
It makes things worse. Interestingly, Po has been well-known for doing this before, yet he doesn't do it for most of the movie. He only does it briefly during his final battle with Kai: 'Belly Gong. Perhaps a bit of lunch, 'cause I'm starvin'.' .: Shifu chooses Po to be the next teacher of the Five, something Po isn't all too happy about, and he's relieved to join his father in the panda village to get away from the new responsibilities.
When a wounded Tigress arrives at the village and tells Po the others have been defeated by Kai, Po has to serve as a teacher after all, training the other pandas.: Kai is much stronger than he was when Oogway banished him to the Spirit World in ancient times, due to how much chi he's stolen. And because he's no longer alive, the Wuxi Finger Hold doesn't work on him.:. Master Croc returns as one of the masters investigating the jombies and is turned into one shortly afterward.
Lord Shen is seen in the flashback from the second film that is reused during Li Shan's mourning of Po's mother. Tai Lung also makes an appearance as an amulet on Kai's waist, next to Mantis, though it's so brief it counts for a. He's also one of Po's action figures during his bathing scene.: An -version played for laughs. Li and Po meet, Li tells Po he's looking for his lost son, while Po tells Li he's looking for his lost father (note that neither of them think that any other pandas are alive). They wish each other luck, Everyone in the crowd watching them facepalms.: When Po joins Shifu and the Five's fight against the 'jade zombies', he's not so much concerned with how effectively the latter are fighting as he is excited to find that they're more kung fu masters he idolizes.
He even insists that Feng, , paints a portrait of him with one of them, while they're fighting. Po: I'm being choked by Master Porcupine. This is so cool!
grabs action figure Oh! Look, it's you!.: Po reveals to Tigress that he plans on using the Wuxi Finger Hold against Kai. Tigress warns him that it won't work, and after the first attempt is a, Po manages to get the jump on Kai, and skadooshes both of them to the spirit realm when Po applies the Wuxi finger hold to himself.: At the beginning of the film, Shifu demonstrates the 'dramatic exit' to Po by shouting 'What's that?'
And then quickly leaving while Po looks another way. At the climax battle, Po pulls the same trick to make Kai look away, giving him an opening to jump him. At the beginning, Shifu tells Po that the Furious Five's training will be in the Dragon Warrior's hands, telling them that there is always more to learn, even for a master. After Po's first class gets the Furious Five hurt, it is near the end when Po is able to help the other pandas learn kung fu by putting their individual talents to use, and Shifu is impressed by how far Po has progressed as the Dragon Warrior.: One of the new Kung Fu masters introduced is Master Chicken.: Master Chicken is male (although ), and is a brave Kung Fu warrior who charges at Kai at the first opportunity.: Po's friends and family send him their chi, giving him a and the power to destroy Kai once and for all.:. This exchange. Po: Who are you?Li: I'm Li Shang.
I'm looking for my son.Po: You lost your son?Li: Yes. Many years ago.Po: I lost my father.Li: I'm very sorry.Po: Thank you.Li: Well, good luck to you.Po: You too. I hope you find your son.Li: And I hope you find your father. : Enough talk, let's fight!.: While they're not stupid, more just very chill and relaxed, the pandas are able to fend off most of Kai's jade army after Po's training.: One of the panda villagers loves giving out hugs, even to total strangers. This is later weaponized in the battle against the Jombies, with the villager holding one in place by hugging it.: When Shifu reads the scroll mentioning Kai, it mentions that he was once Oogway's brother.

In arms.: This is pretty much what Po delivers on Kai after channeling a dragon in the spirit realm — and it must be noted it only lasts as long as it does because Po is toying with him.: Or a kung fu party ending.: During the final battle within the spirit realm, Po unleashes all of his chi into Kai per his boast about taking it, and while he revels at first, he discovers that it's too much for him to handle, and it disintegrates him. Given he was already a spirit.: Apparently, passing away in the films' universe, at least if you're a kung fu master, means you go on 'living' in the spirit realm. And it's not impossible to return (though you might have to work for it a few centuries).: Li at one points tells Po how much he loved his mother, and how she was everything: 'Smart. Tremendous appetite.' .: The final battle ended with Kai blown to bits.: When Shifu says he's passing on his teaching duties to Po, the Five are stunned shocked. As for Po, he just casually nods.
Then he processes the info, and it leads to the moment above.: The Furious Five save Tigress suffer from this, having much less screen time here than in the second film (where, by contrast, they had a prominent role accompanying Po on the mission to stop Shen) and all becoming zombified by Kai by just beyond the movie's halfway point. While Shifu gets captured as well, he still gets more time onscreen than the rest before Kai gets to him.: A brief one occurs after all the way back to the panda village.
Tigress, Po's dads and the rest of the pandas look on in horror at the battered Po, who can only look up at them and admit that he was wrong about being able to take on Kai and begs them to flee. Only once Kai shows up again and gives Po the he needs about sending Kai to the Spirit Realm does Po resume fighting back.: Inverted. Little Lei Lei is delighted to meet 'big Stripy Baby' in the person of Tigress. Standoffish at first, Tigress is soon won over by the relentless affection. When Kai attacks, Tigress is reverently playing tea party with the adoring cub.: Shifu walking in on Po relating the story of how a Kung Fu master intimidated a threat so that he didn't have to fight might cause people to think he's about to chew Po out again.only for him to say that Po is actually correct, because shaking an enemy's self-confidence before a fight is just as important as the fight itself.: Kai is that.
So when Po does, he's actually extremely excited and pleased. To the point he almost considers sparing him.:. Shifu and the Five are completely distracted from the fact that Po and Li wrecked the interior of the Jade Palace by playing inside it due to their excitement for Po finally meeting his biological father.
No-one mentions the issue ever again. Though the fact that Kai showed up shortly afterward and destroys that part of the palace may have something to do with it. While angry with him, next time time Po speaks with Li, he's come to forgive him for lying about learning how to use chi, since Li then makes up for it by volunteering the panda village as an army to fight Kai's jombies. At the end of the film, he accepts his biological father in his life.: Po meets another Giant Panda for the first time since he was a cub, an older panda named Li Shan explaining that he's looking for his son. Po is shocked to hear this and replies that he lost his father. An awkward silence passes as the two pandas then wish each other good luck and walk off. Everyone watching can't believe either of them and.: Of the traditional sort generated.
Sustained by the freely given chi of his friends, students and family, Po is invulnerable to Kai's signature trick.: Used with Kai in the Chinese poster for the film.: A mass one by Ping's customers when Po and Li ignore of being son and father.: When Kai captures Crane, the camera quickly zooms on his face just before switching to the next scene. When the scene switches, his eyes can briefly be seen in the sky.: Kai brought Oogway to the Pandas to heal him, which they did out of kindness. Kai promptly turned on them the moment that he realized the power he could get from stealing their chi.:. Oogway tells Kai, when he reveals how much chi he has absorbed, that 'the more you take, the less you have.' This obliquely alludes to what happens when he is fed Po's chi and it is too much for him to handle, because he can't control that much power. As well as the fact Po wins by having chi given to him rather than taking it.
When Mr. Ping hears about Shifu promoting Po to a teacher, he tells him to take the job and eagerly states that 'one day when you're in charge of the whole Jade Palace I can sell noodles in the lobby!'
After Kai is rendered Oogway names Po his true sucessor and during the celebration in the Jade Palace Arena at the end of the movie Mr. Ping is giving out noodles to the baby pandas.: The panda children are often seen doing whatever they please with little adult supervision.: Mr. Ping lands one on Jombie-Shifu.:. Po has a humorous line alluding to the diet of real-life Giant Pandas. When he's trying to tell the other pandas his battle strategy by using food, he's shocked to find the younger pandas eating both the dumplings and the noodles he tried to use.
When one of them eats the bamboo stick he was holding, he chuckles and says 'Okay, I saw that coming.' . Parodied with this exchange.: A mass one by Ping's customers at seeing Po and Li Shan together.: After giving Kai a, Po sends a wave of his chi into him. Kai's excitement at the amount of power turns to panic when he realizes it's too much for him to handle.: When Po's fathers, Tigress, and the rest of the Panda village transfer their chi to Po, he gains a new outfit with a lot of gold and golden in the shape of a Chinese dragon.
He also becomes strong enough to overwhelm and defeat Kai.:. Mr. Ping and Li Shan land several blows against jombified Shifu because the latter is chasing Po and Po will not hurt his teacher, even when. Po destroys Kai's soul, but given the sheer evil he's committed and that he's already come back once, it was both no less than what Kai deserved and probably the only way to stop him for good. Bonus points for doing it by giving Kai exactly what he wanted.:. No, no, no, Upon learning Po has mastered his chi, Shifu lets out an annoyed 'Of course you did.'
, before humbling himself to ask Po if he can teach him. Also, Kai is both a metaphorical and literal example.: When Po attempts the Wuxi Finger Hold on Kai, he pretends to be defeated by Po, only to reveal that it was a gesture. Po about to apply the Wuxi Finger Hold to Kai: Sorry buddy, gotta send you back to the Spirit Realm. Skadoosh! Okay, that didn't work, let me try one more time. Skadoosh, Skadoosh.
What the.?Kai pretending to be surprised: Kai makes choking gestures Did Oogway teach you that little trick? Too bad: it only works on mortals, and I am a Spirit Warrior.: Also counts as a to KFP2. Once again, Po masters a skill by the end of the film that he was told about by Shifu at the beginning and where Shifu goes to the length of explaining how it takes many, many years of training in a lonely cave to master it. Shifu's exasperation is evident when Po tells him he got his new staff from Master Oogway after defeating Kai in the Spirit Realm. He does soften however when Po promises to teach him.
The movie reveals in the end that it is a lot easier than Shifu thought, since the pandas figure it out by accident note However, according to Oogway: 'There are no accidents' and Po teaches the entire Valley of Peace to channel their C'hi in apparently less than a week.: Gender inversion. Despite some initial antagonism on Mr. Ping's side as he is afraid of losing Po, he and Li end up bonding as they seek to help Po. They end up fighting against a Jombie-fied version of Shifu together and when they welcome him back, even use 'we' to refer to themselves as his fathers.:. Invoked.
Po performs the Wuxi Finger Hold on himself while holding onto Kai to Po later tells Oogway that he had no idea that he'd be able to return. Shifu might also count since he conciously makes Kai focus entirely on him so Tigress can get away and save Po, leading to him being jombie-fied.: A Hidden Panda Village.:. Because this particular movie is being co-made by Oriental DreamWorks in China, the animators made two different versions; one where the characters move their mouths after the original English dub, and another where they move their mouths after the Chinese dub. This is the first time something like this has ever been done with an animated feature.: Po's plan to defeat Kai goes off without a hitch. But it turns out the Wuxi Finger Hold doesn't work on Kai because he's a spirit.: Done briefly by Monkey when he tries to wake a jombified Mantis, though it's really.
Po: to Shifu Me, Teach? I mean, why not Tigress?
She's always telling everyone what to do!Tigress: deadpan and not amused Be quiet, Po.Po:.: Po has to remind Mr. Ping he's not playing with dolls, they're action figures.: Po starts his offense on Kai by making fun of his 'chit-chat' and interrupting him. This distracts Kai long enough for the panda village to launch their first ambush.: Or rather, chi, using the Chinese pronunciation. The next lesson Shifu tasks Po to learn, and it serves a big role in the film.: When Lei Lei asks Po if she can keep the Tigress figure, Po starts saying 'Nooo.' Until he sees that she's about to cry and finishes with '.problem! Yeah, of course, that's why I brought her. Take good care of her.?'
. When Po is meeting the other pandas, he sees Hom-Lee and says 'You're like me, but.: Turns out that Li doesn't know how to master chi; he only told Po he did and that he had to come to the Panda Village to learn it because he didn't want to lose his son again and was afraid (rightfully so) that Kai would kill him. Unsurprisingly this leads to a for a bit, until Ping reaches out to Li and, united in their love for Po and desire to protect him, they go to him and offer themselves, and the whole village, to train to be the army Po needs.: Downplayed, while it still has dark moments such as the talk about Po's deceased mom and how dangerous Kai is.
The jokes are more abundant compared to the second film.: Inverted, as Po's biological father is revealed to share a lot of his traits, such as being unable to climb a tall flight of stairs without nearly passing out and being comically oblivious, as neither he nor Po suspect they're related to each other at first despite all the evidence pointing to it. Li also appears to share Po's adoration for various kung fu relics, and the two enjoy playing with them like little kids, in addition to Po and Li Shan being.
One of the crucial differences is that Li Shan starts off teaching Po skills of napping, eating, relaxation and rolling down hills that are impractical in the long run when Kai approaches the village, eventually redeeming himself when he offers to take a stand with the panda village, and Po is eager to be part of the action.: Po realizes that since Kai is with his Jombies, all he'll have to do is distract the Jombies (with the help of Ping, Tigress and the Panda villagers) in various ways, leaving Kai vulnerable for Po to get to him unopposed and use the Wuxi Finger Hold. It all worked, except for the bit about the Wuxi Finger Hold.: The movie opens with Po running up a mountain staircase, and jumping onto the moon, telling the audience 'Just start without me. I'll catch up' after exhausting himself, parodying the logo of a boy fishing from the moon as he dangles his fishing line in the sky.: Of a sort. The pandas used to be the only ones with the knowledge to fully master chi or use it for healing, but over the centuries it's they don't know how to call upon any more, so that it ends up being something they all have to (re)learn, not just Po.: A brief one after Kai turns Crane into a jade amulet; the image of the former's face transgresses into the clouds and mountains of the next shot.: Oogway in this film is revealed to be have been over 500 years old. While tortoises in real life do live to an impressive age, they usually don't pass 200 years.
It's not made clear if Oogway's longevity is a case of or if it's actually a perk of being a spiritual master. Or if it's both.: Kai's name, as a warlord, is entirely appropriate given that it means 'Victory'.: In one trailer, Po shows off 'backwards Kung Fu', then ends it with 'a respectful backwards bow' — in other words, mooning the viewer.: Po and the Five go racing down from the Jade Palace in an epic, extended action sequence at the start of the movie.
Only to be going to Ping's for lunch. Lampshaded by Mantis when they go back to the palace: 'Do we have to strike a pose every time we land?' .: Played for laughs when Kai returns to the Valley of Peace, only to find that nobody recognizes who he is. Kai: Kai has returned!Rabbit Villager, Goose Farmer: Who?Kai: Kai. Supreme Warlord of all China!Goose Farmer: I dunno.Kai: The Jade Slayer.
Master of Pain. You may know me as the Beast of Vengeance. Maker of Widows?Goose Farmer: Huh?Kai frustrated: Okay, I used to work with Oogway?Rabbit Villager, Goose Farmer: Oh, Master Oogway!Goose Farmer: He was a great warrior!Rabbit Villager: We've heard of Master Oogway, he's a.Kai: Okay, okay, enough. Inverted when Kai meets Po at the panda village. Po seeing Kai's entry: Whoa! That's what I call a dramatic entrance!Kai: Ha ha! You must be the Dragon Warrior!Po: And you must be Kai, Beast of Vengenace, Maker of Widows!Kai sarcastically impressed: Yes!
Almost makes me want to spare your life!Po: Oh, you want to spare me? How about you spare me the chit-chat!. Reconstructed when Po receives a supernatural chi transfusion from the panda village, including Tigress and Mr. Ping, before he starts the final battle with Kai. Kai: Who are you?Po: I've been asking the same question: Am I the son of a panda? The son of a goose? I'm all of them.
The chi surrounding Po takes the form of a dragon I am the Dragon Warrior. You see the giant dragon? Get ready to feel the thunder!.: during Po's first attempt at training the Five. He tries his best to call out various battle techniques for them to perform to which they all obey, even as they figure they're about to get hurt doing so.
They don't hold back with complains after it, though.: Kai gets this twice. First is when he reveals to Po that the Wuxi Finger Hold doesn't work on him, followed by him overpowering Po and leaving him unable to defend the pandas, his fathers and Tigress. After Po has managed to drag them both to the spirit realm anyhow (through the technique of ), Kai proceeds to turn Po into a jombie, something he nearly succeeds with as well until Po's friends and family learns how to use chi to save him.: One of the US trailers has Tigress telling Po that he needs to teach the pandas to fight.
In the film, she's actually asking Po if he's learned to master chi, and the subject of training the pandas doesn't come up until Li Shan suggests it. The same trailer also has Tigress state that Kai attacked the Valley of Peace and that it's 'all gone'. In the film, he's only shown attacking the Jade Palace; it's unknown if he did any damage to the Valley below.: Subverted. While Po is upset that Li lied to him to make him come to the village and to get away from Kai, Li does point out that Kai would have defeated Po as well as Shifu and the other members of the Furious Five. Bringing Po to the village buys everyone time to mount a defense, and to defeat Kai.: Inverted; Po learns that all of his weaknesses in the previous films — unable to climb stairs, — are normal for all pandas.
He's delighted on learning how well he fits in during the village, and that his weaknesses weren't weaknesses at all but character traits.: The Wuxi Finger Hold doesn't work on Kai because it only works on mortals. Po finds.: Li explains groggily to Po that all pandas sleep in until noon.:. Po is delighted to have found his family, to learn that others share his strengths, weaknesses and appetites. Ping even mellows on seeing how all the baby pandas are like a tiny mob of Pos who like his cooking. Mr. Ping after Li Shan admits he lied to pull Po out of danger goes to the latter with fresh dumplings, and admits he also lied because he wanted to make sure Po didn't leave him. He understands the need to be an and a, and with Ping's jealousy appeased, their tendencies make them quite like minded.
Within the, Po and Tigress' roles are practically reversed from what they often are in the Jade Palace, with Po's eccentricities making him an efficient leader and Tigress reduced to a bewildered.: Tigress racing all the way to the panda village while injured. And then Tigress recovering to help train the villagers.:. Crane has a rather priceless expression upon meeting Kai.
The Wuxi Fingerhold only works on mortals. Kai has one when he realizes he can't control the chi Po just flooded him with, resulting in him being obliterated.: Kai's reaction to Po attempt to use the Wuxi Fingerhold on him.:. Oogway's scroll describing Kai is much more serious and straightforward than his normal laid back way of doing things, even outright saying if Kai ever came back, only a master of Chi was capable of stopping him. Po: evil grin They are ready.Tigress: incredulously. What?.: Lei Lei and the other toddler pandas.: Don't ask how Po is able to leap hundreds of feet into the sky or practically fly down to the Valley of the Peace from the Jade Palace above (and back again), just enjoy how awesome it is.: Despite the badass combatant Tigress is, she does nothing to help Po when witnessing him being defeated by Kai, but holds onto Lei Lei and gives him a heartbroken look instead.: From what can be seen of early footage of the hidden panda village, it is sure to be filled with this.
The Chinese trailer also shows a clip of Po reuniting with Oogway in the spirit realm in what can only be described as an absolutely gorgeous piece of Chinese inspired dream-like setting. The final movie more than lives up to these trailers, as well as adding in the gorgeous landscape during the journey to the village and any time spiritual fighting occurs, most notably Oogway versus Kai at the start of the movie, and Po versus Kai after he used the Wuxi Finger Hold.: Shifu reveals why he gave Po the teaching assignment after the disaster in the Jade Palace. Po: I don't know why you ever thought I could teach that class!Shifu: Oh, I knew you couldn't.Po: What? You set me up to fail? Why?Shifu: If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.Po whines: I don't want to be more! I like who I am.Shifu: You don't even know who you are.'
Po: What do you— Of course I do: I'm the Dragon Warrior.Shifu: And what exactly does that mean, Dragon Warrior?. Shifu goes on to tell Po that being the Dragon Warrior is more than just punching and kicking; the incredible power of chi awaits him.:. This movie retcons the events of the episode Enter the Dragon from where Po already mastered chi to fight the episode's main antagonist, while he doesn't know what chi is in this movie. Additionally, the episode states that the universe granted Oogway the ability to master his chi, while this movie states he learned it from the pandas, and the series is supposed to be set before the events of this movie.
However, this would support many fans' belief that the TV series are to the films. In the 2015 prequel short Secrets of the Scroll, Po's figures of the Furious Five ends up being accidentally given away to a rabbit child, yet Po still has them in this film. Either Po leaving the figures with the child took place after this film, or he made new ones. Note Since the originals were hand-made, odds are he made new ones.: Not to the same extent as the previous film, but Po and Tigress still have some subtle moments here and there.
Consider the following: The prevailing ship is Po and Tigress, Tigress is played by Angelina Jolie, and some of the panda kids were played by her children. You can see where this is going. Mei Mei (who has at this point been hitting on Po in every scene she is in) asks 'Who is she?' In an almost condescending tone when she first sees Tigress, which is a very stereotypical way to address a woman you see as a rival.
It's probably no coincidence that she's the one to ask said question out of all the pandas either. Plus, once Tigress is in the village, Mei Mei stops flirting with Po completely as if having admitted defeat. While she's weakened at the time, Po and Tigress still seem very comfortable about holding each other with faces only inches apart while she tells him about Kai. When Po is playing with his action figures in the bath tub, he imagines Tigress swooning over how handsome he is.
Also, when he leaves for the Panda village, the only action figure he brings with him is the one of Tigress. Po and Tigress at one point begin to spar while discussing how to deal with Kai. The ensuing spat that follows has them sounding. When Po realizes he can't defeat Kai, he turns to look at Tigress with a horrified expression, implying she's his primary concern.
Tigress hugs Lei Lei and gives the same look of despair in return. When Po has made it back from the spirit realm, Tigress has a gigantic smile on her face and rushes to hug him. Shifu: The student has truly become the tea. looks at Po's staff Wait. Where did you get that?Po: Oh, this. Oogway gave it to me in the spirit realm.Shifu: Oh, of course he did.Po: I think I mastered Chi.Shifu sighs: Oh, of course you did.
Can you teach me?.: We know Po always squees at basically everything dealiing with kung fu, but when his dad puts on Master Flying Rhino's armor and then pulled a string (upon which the armor sprouted additional spikes, great metal wings like a hussar and a little flag on top), Po squee'd so hard he wheezed, and as he hastily admits afterwards. Po: I think I just peed a little.: When Li reveals just why the master was called Flying Rhino through a hidden capability of his armor, a stunned and fanboying Po can only stare at him in awe.: Po is taken to his father's new home after Shen's massacre of their previous home — a secret panda paradise — and has a hard time fitting in.: While the franchise is no stranger to this trope, particularly in, it's especially prominent here, where the steals the chi of martial arts masters, including the Furious Five, resulting in them being turned into his evil minions. Not to mention the various incredible chi effects both in the Spirit World and the mortal world.: Lampshaded by Shifu when Po returns to the panda village. Shifu: Shifu sees Po's yin-yang staff Wait, where did you get that?Po: Oh, this. Oogway gave it to me in the spirit realm.Shifu: Ohh, of course he did.Po: I think I mastered chi.Shifu sighs: Of course you did.
Can you teach me?.: Po uses the Wuxi Finger Hold on himself while holding onto Kai to send them both to the Spirit Realm, after finding out it won't work on Kai directly (as Kai is already a spirit).: When Crane asks Shifu what the plan is, Mantis does a bit of premature boasting. Crane: Master, what are we going to do?Shifu: You are going to find out where Kai is. Follow the trail of those jade creatures, but do not engage, for with every foe he faces, Kai becomes stronger.Crane: Why me? Is it because I asked?Shifu: No, it is because you can fly. Go!Mantis: Mantis laughsShifu: And take Mantis.Mantis: Oh, man! Is it because I—Shifu:.: When Po witnesses how Flying Rhino's full battle armor works, he reacts in complete awe and comments that he 'just peed a little.' .: The various trailers spoiled quite a lot such as Kai destroying the Jade Palace, Tigress travelling to the panda village, Po reuniting with Oogway, and the final battle taking place in the spirit realm.: Po is forced to train the pandas in kung fu after Kai attacks the Valley of Peace.: Po's reaction upon gaining his new powers in the Spirit Realm in order to defeat Kai for good.: When Po asks about his mother.
Li Shan: She was the total package: smart, beautiful. Po chuckles She was the love of my life. And then, just when I thought I couldn't get any luckier, along you came, my Little Lotus. I really had it all.
Until that one moment, when I lost everything.: Nobody remembers who Kai is because Oogway kept the records of him hidden away and never mentioned him to anybody. This greatly angers Kai when he returns, seeing that Oogway has destroyed his legacy.:. We never do find out how Li and the other pandas survived Lord Shen's attack. Could Oogway come back to life like Po did if he wanted to?
He doesn't know; he never tried.: Preparing for his final battle with Kai, Po reasons that he needs to get close enough to Kai to employ the Wuxi Finger Hold. We then see a where Po drills the other pandas not in kung fu but in skills they already possess (hugging, hacky-sack, ribbon dancing), then moving on to weaponizing those skills (hugging logs so hard they splinter, using fireworks instead of hacky-sacks and nunchucks instead of ribbons). Even amid the training, Po's plan is still not revealed; when he announces, 'They are ready,' Tigress is scratching her head. Finally, when Kai arrives with the jade-zombie army of martial arts masters, Po springs his plan and the other pandas succeed in holding their own against the jombies and distracting Kai enough for Po to get close enough for the Wuxi. The parts of Po's plan that we don't fully know about in advance work flawlessly.
The part he discusses in the beginning (the Wuxi Finger Hold) doesn't.: Po is apparently only a beginner when it comes to stuffing his mouth with dumplings as his record is 40, while Li Shan's is 103. And that's his warm-up.: Kai loses it when Po manages to drag them back to the Spirit World. Not only is he clearly furious, nearly all the comedy in his character vanishes.
Made all the more unsettling by the contrast with the humorous one he faked only a few minutes before when the Wuxi Finger Hold didn't work on him. Kai: Hold on, wait. It's working. chuckles No, it's not. Did Oogway teach you that little trick? It only works on mortals.
And I am a spirit warrior. Followed by Po telling the Five: 'RUN.' .: It's implied Kai has been creating dozens of jombies offscreen, but we only ever see a select few. When the jombies are all restored, the only ones to be actually seen are the ones we met when they were still alive.: Po is furious at Li for lying to him about knowing how to master chi.
