The detailed animation plays a crucial role throughout the film, particularly in its battle scenes. Because of this slight shift in perspective, “Kung Fu Panda 3” evolves the franchise from a simple action show for younger audiences to a touching film fit for the entire family.įurthermore, the animation definitely adds significantly to the film, especially when viewed in 3-D. Whereas the two prequels focused more on Po’s naive outlook on life, “Kung Fu Panda 3” places greater emphasis on his fathers’ perspectives and their dual father-son relationships. Ping and Li Shan, Po’s biological father, play much more significant roles. Ping (James Hong), the goose who adopted Po as his son, made only brief appearances. For instance, the presence of both Po’s adopted and biological fathers makes for interesting character dynamics. There are also some elements in “Kung Fu Panda 3” that improve upon the prequels. From witty dialogue to entertaining battles, “Kung Fu Panda 3” is a solid action comedy. Just like Po’s intense yet comical battle with Tai Lung in the original “Kung Fu Panda,” the Dragon Warrior’s battle with Kai is as amusing and energetic as it could be. The film is replete with exciting fight sequences. Simmons - Po has little time to relax and is tasked with uniting the powers of his fellow pandas and the Furious Five - Master Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Master Viper (Lucy Liu), Master Monkey (Jackie Chan), Master Mantis (Seth Rogen) and Master Crane (David Cross) - to stop his adversary.Īnother point of praise is the film’s moving yet clever script, which was written by screenwriting duo Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger. However, with the reappearance of the treacherous warrior Kai - voiced by J.K.
In the film, which is directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni, Po finally meets his biological father, Li Shan - voiced by Bryan Cranston - and the remainder of the community he never knew as an orphan. Like its prequels, the film’s ample dynamism and humorous battle scenes do not disappoint. Given that the preceding chapter closes with a glimpse of the fabled panda village of the mountains, it seems fitting that this film at long last introduces the titular Kung Fu Panda, Po - voiced by Jack Black - to his home village.
After two installments documenting a panda’s journey to find himself, “Kung Fu Panda 3,” which is out in theaters today, finally satisfies its protagonist and the audience by uniting the Dragon Warrior with his origins.
