Kung Fu Panda Plot

In an alternate China (populated entirely by anthropomorphic animals), the Valley of Peace is protected by the Furious Five - Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane - a quintet of warriors trained in kung fu by tortoise Master Oogway and his protg, the red panda Master Shifu. One day, Master Oogwei has a premonition that Shifu's former pupil and foster-son, the snow leopard Tai Lung, who was imprisoned after turning to evil, will escape from high-security prison and attack the Valley. Oogway instructs Shifu and the others to hold a tournament in order to choose the legendary Dragon Warrior, worthy to receive the power of the Dragon Scroll, which is said to give nigh-supreme power to whoever reads it. Po, a young Giant panda and kung fu fanatic who works in his goose father's noodle restaurant, is anxious to see the tournament, but is instead forced to take a noodle cart up the mountain to the Jade Temple. When he arrives, the gates are closed and the tournament has already started. Desperate to see the tournament, Po tries several ways to get inside. In a final attempt, Po straps himself to a set of fireworks, by which he propels himself into the middle of the arena just as Oogway is about to point out the new Dragon Warrior, so that Oogway indicates Po as such. Unwilling to believe that a clumsy, fat panda can become the Dragon Warrior, Shifu attempts to berate and humiliate Po into quitting, subjecting him to a grueling series of matches with the Five, all of whom despise Po as an upstart. Po is dejected after his first day of training but advised by Master Oogway, he refuses to quit. Soon, he endears himself to the Five with his impressive tenacity, culinary skill and good humor, though he is still unable to grasp the basics of kung fu. Meanwhile, Tai Lung escapes from prison and returns to the Valley. Oogway, meanwhile, perishes and ascends to heaven..More In an alternate China (populated entirely by anthropomorphic animals), the Valley of Peace is protected by the Furious Five - Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane - a quintet of warriors trained in kung fu by tortoise Master Oogway and his protg, the red panda Master Shifu.

Soon, he endears himself to the Five with his impressive tenacity, culinary skill and good humor, though he is still unable to grasp the basics of kung fu. Meanwhile, Tai Lung escapes from prison and returns to the Valley. Oogway, meanwhile, perishes and ascends to heaven in a swirl of flower petals, having exacted a promise from Shifu that the latter will train Po. Upon hearing that Tai Lung is coming, Po panics and tries to flee the Temple. Shifu refuses to let him go, insisting that Oogway's advice must be obeyed, but Po has lost all confidence and Shifu is at a loss for an answer. Seeing this argument, Tigress leads the Furious Five to stop Tai Lung themselves. The next morning, Shifu discovers that Po displays impressive agility when he is motivated by food. Therefore he takes Po for solitary training in the mountains and, by promising food as a reward, trains Po into a skilled warrior. The Five confront Tai Lung over a long rope bridge, in which the Five seem to have won, but Lung defeats them. Crane flies back to the Jade Temple with the other members of the Furious Five, who have been paralyzed. Feeling that Po is ready to fight, Shifu gives him the Dragon Scroll, which he opens to reveal nothing but a gold blank, reflective surface. Shifu, despairing, orders Po and the Five to evacuate the valley while he prepares to delay Tai Lung for as long as he can-knowing he may die. During the evacuation, Po finds his father who, in an attempt to console him, reveals that the long-withheld secret ingredient of his famous "secret ingredient soup" is 'nothing' except the power of belief. Po realizes this idea is the point of the Dragon Scroll and returns to face Tai Lung. At the temple, Tai Lung confronts Master Shifu and demands the Scroll. When Shifu refuses, Tai Lung attacks Shifu and nearly kills him. He notices the scroll has already been taken. Enraged, he asks Shifu where it is. Shifu tells him that Po is halfway across China by now, and too far to chase. All of a sudden, right before Tai Lung lays down his death blow on his former master, a tired Po arrives with the Dragon Scroll. Tai Lung can hardly believe that the "Dragon Warrior" is a "big, fat panda"; but as he battles Po to take the Scroll, Po unexpectedly proves himself an equal. Tai Lung makes remarks on how the scroll has given him power. Tai Lung gains the upper hand and opens the Scroll, but cannot comprehend its symbolic value. Po explains that "there is no secret ingredient" other than the warrior's belief in himself; but Tai Lung fails to understand and attacks again. With the combination of his new understanding and his own natural resilience, Po counter-attacks with devastating effectiveness and finally defeats Tai Lung and destroys him by means of a technique called the "Wuxi Finger Hold", which Shifu had earlier revealed by threatening to use it on Po. The deeply impressed Furious Five accept Po as a kung fu master and their equal. Po returns to Shifu and finds that he is barely conscious but alive, and finally at peace now that Tai Lung has been defeated and peace restored. In a post-credits sequence, Po and Shifu are seen eating dumplings under Oogway's favorite peach tree, where a peach seed Shifu had planted earlier has begun to sprout into a seedling. Less
