However, Po is unable to pursue his dream of learning kung fu as he helps his adoptive father, Mr. Ping the goose, in his restaurant.Grand Master Oogway, an old and Shifu's mentor, has a vision that Shifu's former student and adoptive son, the evil, Tai Lung, will escape from prison and return to the valley to exact his revenge for being denied the Scroll, which is said to hold the secret to boundless power. Panicked, Shifu sends his messenger, Zeng the goose, with a request for the prison to tighten its security. He then holds a tournament for the Furious Five so that Oogway can identify the Dragon Warrior, the one kung fu master worthy of receiving the Dragon Scroll.

Po arrives too late to enter the arena; desperate to see the Dragon Warrior, Po straps himself to a set of fireworks and launches himself into the middle of the arena in front of Oogway as he points towards the Dragon Warrior. To the astonishment of everyone present, Oogway proclaims Po as the chosen warrior.Unwilling to accept Oogway's decision, Shifu tries to dispose of Po with a harsh training regime. The Furious Five berate Po as an enthusiast with no potential in martial arts. Po considers resigning, but after receiving encouragement from Oogway, he endures his training and gradually befriends the Five with his resilience, culinary skill, and good humor.

One night when Po talks about Shifu's treatment toward him, Tigress tells the story of how Shifu raised Tai Lung since finding him as a cub and trained him in kung-fu. After Tai Lung was denied the Dragon Scroll he went on a rampage across the valley and tried to take the scroll by force, with Shifu unable to fight his adoptive son. Though Oogway was able to stop him, Tai Lung's betrayal caused Shifu to become cold and distant.Meanwhile, Tai Lung escapes from prison, ironically picking his locks with Zeng's fallen feather. Shifu learns of Tai Lung's escape from Zeng and informs Oogway, who extracts a promise from Shifu to believe in Po, and then in a stream of peach blossoms.

Still unable to grasp the basics of kung fu, Po despairingly admits that he has no chance of defeating Tai Lung. Overhearing this, the Five leave to stop Tai Lung themselves. However, Shifu discovers that Po is capable of impressive physical feats when motivated by food. Using food as, Shifu successfully trains Po by incorporating these feats into an innovative kung fu style.Meanwhile, the Five battle with Tai Lung, but are defeated by his nerve attacks. He spares Crane to transport the rest of the Five, still paralyzed from his nerve strikes, back to Shifu as a warning.

After reviving them, Shifu decides that Po is ready to receive the Dragon Scroll, but the scroll reveals nothing but a blank, reflective surface. Believing the scroll to be useless, Shifu orders Po and the Five to evacuate the valley while he faces Tai Lung. A distraught Po finds Mr. In an attempt to console his son, Mr. Ping reveals that the secret ingredient to his famous 'special secret ingredient noodle soup' is 'nothing', explaining that things are special when believed to be.

Po realizes that this is the message of the Dragon Scroll and goes back to confront Tai Lung.Po arrives to find Shifu badly injured and defeated. He then becomes a formidable challenge for Tai Lung, frustrating him with confusing fighting techniques on top of his excessive body fat that renders him immune to Tai Lung's nerve strikes.

Tai Lung momentarily beats Po and retrieves the scroll, but he is unable to understand it and continues attacking Po. Eventually, Po defeats Tai Lung in combat by using the mysterious Wuxi Finger Hold to vanquish him.

I wasn't interested in making fun of them, because I really think martial arts movies can be great films, they can be as good as any genre movie when they're done properly.Let's try to make it a real martial arts movie albeit one with a comic character and let's take our action seriously. Let's not give anything up to the big summer movies. Let's really make sure that our kung fu is as cool as any kung fu ever done, so that we can take our place in that canon and make sure it's a beautiful movie, because great martial arts movies are really beautiful-looking movies and then let's see if we can imbue it with real heart and emotion.—co-director on the comedic approach to the martial arts film.Publicized work on the film began in October 2004. In September 2005, announced the film alongside, who was selected to be the main voice star.In November 2005, DreamWorks Animation announced that, and would join Jack Black in the cast. This is also the second DreamWorks Animation film in which Black and have co-starred together, the first being 2004's.The idea for the film was conceived by Michael Lachance, a DreamWorks Animation executive.

Initially, the idea was to make it a, but co-director was not particularly keen on it and instead chose the direction of a character-based comedy.Reportedly inspired by 's 2004 action comedy film, the co-directors wanted to make sure the film also had an authentic Chinese and kung fu feel to it. Production designer Raymond Zibach and art director Tang Heng spent years researching, sculpture, architecture and kung fu films to help create the look of the film. Zibach said some of the biggest influences for him are the more artful martial arts films such as,. Stevenson's aim for the film, which took four years to make, was to make 'the best looking film DreamWorks has ever made'.

We've had some productions that were stressful, but this one ran very smoothly and DreamWorks is sic this production as a template on how they would like future productions to run. We lucked out, and there really was a sense of harmony on the animation. Even the production people. We all seemed like we were on the same page, believing in the film. That doesn't happen very often. I tell animators, you will be working on dumpers for most of your career, but every once in a while you get a gem.

Kung Fu Panda was a gem.—Dan Wagner, Head of Character Animation.The hand-drawn animation sequence at the beginning of the film was made to resemble Chinese. The opening, which was directed by and produced by, was praised by reviewer as 'striking' and 'visually different from most mainstream American animations'.Other reviewers have compared the opening to the evocative style of series. The rest of the film is modern computer animation, which uses bright, offbeat colors to evoke the natural landscape of China. The end credit sequence also features hand-drawn characters and still paintings in the background.The computer animation used throughout the film was more complex than anything DreamWorks had done before. When the head of production handed the script to VFX Supervisor Markus Manninen, she reportedly laughed and wished him 'good luck'. 'When we started talking,' said Manninen, 'the movie was still a high concept.

But for everyone that looked at it, it screamed complexity. We launched off saying, how can you make this movie tangible? How can you find smart ways to bring this world to life in a way that makes it a great movie and not feel like the complexity becomes the driver of the story, but the story and the emotion being the driver?' In preparation, the animators took a six-hour kung fu class.Producer Melissa Cobb said that originally Po was 'more of a jerk,' but that the character changed after they heard Jack Black.

According to Black, he mostly worked 'in isolation', although he and Dustin Hoffman did spend a day together, which Cobb said helped with the scene where their characters face off. Lucy Liu said that the film 'was quite different because it was such a long process.' Liu said that when she was presented with the project they already had artwork of her character as well as a 'short computerized video version of what she would look like when she moved.'

Chris Barsanti of commented, 'Blazing across the screen with eye-popping, sublime artwork, Kung Fu Panda sets itself apart from the modern domestic animation trend with its sheer beauty. The film enters instant classic status as some of the most gorgeous animation Hollywood has produced since the golden age of Disney.' Michael Phillips of the called the film 'one of the few comedies of 2008 in any style or genre that knows what it's doing'.

The film's critical and commercial success in China led to some local introspection about why no film like Kung Fu Panda had been produced in China, with commentators attributing the problem variously to lower film budgets in China, too much government oversight, a dearth of national imagination, and an overly reverent attitude to China's history and cultural icons.
