    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The animators took a six-hour kung fu class to get an idea of the movie's action.
    • Goofs
      (at around 3 mins) When Po wakes up in the beginning of the movie, a throwing star falls down and lands on the floor. Later, when he tries to throw it back up on the wall, the original throwing star is still in the wall.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Ping: The secret ingredient is... nothing!

      Po: Huh?

      Mr. Ping: You heard me. Nothing! There is no secret ingredient.

      Po: Wait, wait... it's just plain old noodle soup? You don't add some kind of special sauce or something?

      Mr. Ping: Don't have to. To make something special you just have to believe it's special.

      [Po looks at the scroll again, and sees his reflection in it]

      Po: There is no secret ingredient...

    • Crazy credits
      The opening and closing credits are carried out in stylized 2D animation, which resembles Chinese shadow puppetry.
    • Alternate versions
      While originally only a 2D release during its 2008 theatrical run, Dreamworks Animation later produced a 3D version. This version was released on Blu-ray in 2011 to coincide with the home video release of Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011).

    10/10
    Exceptionaly visual, funny, action packed and intelligent movie for all ages.
    One of the best comedy movies I've seen, this animation feature is both packed with action and intelligent at the same time. It's yet another variation on "You can do anything if you believe in yourself" and carries strong morale and educational message. But the way it's done, the incredible visual side of the story, as well as the dialogs, is just exceptional. You can't but love the fat Panda boy who's dreaming about being the greatest warrior of all China only to wake up to the reality of hawing to serve noodle soup in his father's shop. Unlike his father, who also dreamed but never found the courage to act on it, Panda follows his calling and by "luck" get chosen to be the legendary Dragon warrior by the Kung-Fu grand master, the old turtle, to defeat the evil tiger. That's when his training and troubles start. It's really for anyone between 3 and 100 and I laughed and loved it from the titles in the beginning to the very end. Much recommended.
