Continuing
his "legendary adventures of awesomeness", Po must face two hugely
epic, but different threats: one supernatural and the other a little closer to
home.
—Miss
W J Mcdermott
When
Po's long-lost panda father suddenly reappears, the reunited duo travels to a
secret panda paradise to meet scores of hilarious new panda characters. But
when the supernatural villain Kai begins to sweep across China defeating all
the kung fu masters, Po must do the impossible-learn to train a village full of
his fun-loving, clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas.
—20th
Century Fox
In
the spirit realm, Oogway fights against a bull adversary named Kai, who has
defeated all the other Kung Fu masters in the realm and taken their chi. Oogway
too is ensnared and has his chi stolen, but warns Kai that the Dragon Warrior,
Po, will stop him. Kai takes this as a challenge to steal the Dragon Warrior's
chi and returns to the mortal realm.
The
rotund Dragon Warrior, Po, finally reunites with his long-lost biological
father, Li, as a supernatural fiend--the terrible sword-wielding yak, Kai--uses
his indomitable strength to harvest a Kung Fu fighter's most prized possession.
Now, as Master Shifu and the fearless Furious Five team are the only ones left
to stop this all-powerful new enemy, our dumpling-gorging hero must first
harness his own essence of existence to stand a chance; however, can he fight
Kai all by himself?

Synopsis
Master
Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) is residing in the Spirit Realm. There, he is attacked
by Kai (J.K. Simmons), a large yak who was Oogway's ally, but turned against
him 500 years ago. Oogway sent him to the Spirit Realm, where he collected the
chi of every warrior there. He beats Oogway, and takes his chi, turning him
into a jade amulet which Kai wears on a belt along with the rest of the
warriors. With Oogway's chi, he is able to open a portal to Earth.
At
the Jade Palace, Po (Jack Black), Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie
Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu) and Crane (David Cross) order
lunch at Mr. Ping's (James Hong) noodle shop, and then go back up the mountain.
Po tries to get them to do a dramatic entrance into the palace, and
demonstrates by moving to kick open the door, when Master Shifu (Dustin
Hoffman) appears in front of him. Shifu does a real dramatic entrance, and then
breaks the news that this will be his last day teaching, and that from now on,
Po will be their teacher.
Po
tries to shout out commands to the team to guide them through an obstacle
course, but his commands only make them crash into the obstacles and each
other. Po goes to a statue of Oogway and apologizes, and Shifu pops up next to
him. Po tells Shifu that he is done with teaching, and Shifu tells him that
Oogway named him the Dragon Warrior because he could do more than just fight.
Shifu harnesses chi energy to make a flower bloom. Po says he'll never be a
good teacher like Shifu, and Shifu replies that he's not trying to turn Po into
himself, rather, he's trying to turn Po into Po. Po is thoroughly confused.
Kai
goes through the portal and lands on a farm. He tosses his jade amulets on the
ground, and they turn into warriors. He instructs them to bring him Oogway's
students.
Po
is at home taking a bath, and he gets interrupted by Mr. Ling, his adopted
father. Po tells him what happened earlier, and that he can't be a teacher. Mr.
Ling tells him to take the job, and then Mr. Ling can sell noodles inside the
palace. A pig pokes his head in and tells them that someone is about to beat
Po's dumpling-eating record. They go downstairs, but can't see who is eating
the dumplings. Once the record is broken, Po sees that it is another panda,
bigger even than him. The panda introduces himself as Li Shan, (Bryan Cranston)
and tells Po that he is looking for his son that he lost many years ago. Po
tells him that he lost his father when he was a baby. They wish each other good
luck and start to walk away. The other animals in the restaurant shake their
heads.
Po
and Li stop and look at each other again. They notice each other's green eyes
and huge bellies, and realize they're father and son. They hug each other, and
Po introduces him to Mr. Ling. Po is unsure what to call them, since they're
both his father. Li teaches Po the Belly Gong, where they bump bellies
together, and both bellies shake. Po asks an artist to make a sketch of him and
Li, but Mr. Ling puts himself in the picture. Li tells Po that there is a
secret panda village where he had been living, and that he got a message from
the universe that Po would be here. Po leads Li outside to show him around, and
Mr. Ling sadly looks at his Po action figure.
Po
takes Li to the Jade Palace, and they both get winded climbing up the stairs.
Po shows Li all the cool artifacts in the Hall of Heroes. Shifu and the others
walk in, and Po introduces his father. Shifu asks if he will stick around to
watch Po teach, but then a gong goes off, signaling that the village is under
attack. They all go to the village, and find Kai's jade zombies. In battle, Po
recognizes that they're fighting the great warriors of the past. The group gets
the upper hand and pins down the "jombies," and they all start
speaking with Kai's voice. They say that Po's chi will soon be Kai's, and then
vaporize and fly away. Shifu tells them he doesn't know who Kai is.
In
the scroll room, Shifu finds a scroll that has information about Kai, written
by Oogway. "Long ago I had a brother in arms. I was an ambitious young
warrior leading a great army. And fighting by my side was Kai, my closest
friend. One day we were ambushed. I was badly wounded. My friend carried me for
days, looking for help. until we came upon a secret village, high in the
mountains. An ancient place of healing. A village of pandas."
"Pandas?"
Po asks.
"Yes!
Pandas! The pandas used the power of chi to heal me. They taught me the power
to give chi. But Kai wanted the power all to himself. He saw that what could be
given could also be taken.
On
the scroll is a picture of Kai sucking the chi from a panda.
"I
had to stop him. Our battle shook the earth. Until finally, I banished Kai to
the Spirit Realm. Should he ever return to the mortal realm, he can only be
stopped by a true Master of Chi."
The
group huddles together to try to figure out how to get a Chi Master, until Li
tells Po that he can teach him how to do it by taking him back to the panda
village and teaching him how to be a true panda. Mr. Ling tries to protest, but
Po tells him that he can only master chi by finding out who he really is. Mr.
Ling offers to pack him a lunch before he leaves.
The
next morning, Li and Po head for the village, and Shifu sends Crane and Mantis
to find Kai, telling them not to engage him. Po and Li are walking through the
mountains and decide they should eat lunch. Po finds Mr. Ling inside his lunch
sack, and Mr. Ling tells him that he stowed away in case the pandas don't have
any food Po likes. They get to the palace, which is behind a giant wall of ice.
Li pulls a string, and a bucket comes down. The three of them climb in and are
hoisted up into the clouds. Po sees a lush green village with pandas
everywhere. Li introduces Grandma Panda, the village elder, and Po's cousins,
Dim and Sum. A panda named Big Fun gives Po a big hug, despite not knowing who
he is. And Lei Lei, a baby panda, takes Po's Tigress action figure and plays
with it. Li announces that they will have a feast in Po's honor, and all the
pandas flop to the ground and start rolling downhill. "Pandas don't walk,
we roll!" explained Li. The other pandas manage to avoid the rocks and
logs on the hill as they roll down. Po plops down on the grass and rolls after
them.
The
pandas dig into the food at the banquet table, and Mr. Ling hands Po his
chopsticks. The other pandas look at him, confused, so he demonstrates how to
eat a dumpling with chopsticks. He sees that they have all stuffed a bunch of
dumplings into their mouths at once. A gong sounds, and everyone turns to look
at a nearby stage. A panda named Mei Mei does a ribbon dance and flirts with
Po.
Crane
and Mantis are searching for Kai, and they find three kung fu masters in the
desert. The group finds an abandoned ship, and the masters run in to attack,
despite Crane's warning not to engage. Mantis hears them scream and jumps in to
help. Kai steals all of their chi, turning them into jade. Crane flies in, but
he soon meets the same fate.
The
next day, Po finds some pandas playing with a jianzi, and he joins in and kicks
it, sending it straight to Grandma Panda, conking her in the head. They quickly
roll away. Li points to Dim and Sum, standing next to two trees with a hammock
strung between them. They get into the hammock, and then Li pulls back the
trees and launches them up the hill. Awestruck, Po does likewise. Mr. Ling
tries to lure him away with food, but Po ignores him.

The
Good Stuff (in order of awesomeness)
1.
Superb animation and various art styles used. Hits are emphasized well with
excellent sound design and voice acting. Good action.
2.
Jokes are (mostly) good, made me laugh out loud multiple times.
3.
The plot and pacing is pretty good and character development is adequate.
The
Bad Stuff (in order of amplitude)
1.
Antagonist is not really memorable with vanilla personality and motivation.
2.
Film is obviously meant for a young-ish audience and contains some irritating
slapstick and bad jokes.
3.
99% of Panda characters are completely forgettable.
Should
you watch it: Probably, yes. I can't stress enough how good some of the visuals
are.
