A clumsy panda bear becomes an unlikely kung fu hero when a treacherous enemy spreads chaos throughout the countryside in this animated
martial arts adventure featuring the voices of
Jack Black,
Dustin Hoffman,
Angelina Jolie, and
Jackie Chan. On the surface,
Po (voice of
Black) may look like just another portly panda bear, but beneath his fur he bears the mark of the chosen one. By day,
Po works faithfully in his family's noodle shop, but by night he dreams of becoming a true master of the
martial arts. Now an ancient prophecy has come to pass, and
Po realizes that he is the only one who can save his people from certain destruction. With time running short and malevolent snow leopard
Tai Lung (
Ian McShane ) closing in, Furious Five legends
Tigress (
Jolie),
Crane (
David Cross ),
Mantis (
Seth Rogen),
Viper (
Lucy Liu),
Monkey (
Chan), and their wise sensei,
Master Shifu (
Hoffman), all draw on their vast knowledge of fighting skills in order to transform a lumbering panda bear into a lethal fighting machine. Now, if the noble
Po can master the martial arts and somehow transform his greatest weaknesses into his greatest strengths, he will fulfill his destiny as the hero who saved his people during their darkest hour. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
