Short description

Chosen by prophecy but doubted by all, Po is an unlikely choice for the mystical title of the Dragon Warrior—a clumsy panda thrust into the world of kung fu as a deadly enemy threatens the Valley of Peace. Under reluctant guidance by Master Shifu and the Furious Five, Po must embrace who he is to unlock the power that no scroll can teach.

What's left behind the scenes

Mikhail Galustyan, who voiced Po in the Russian version, was hospitalized with appendicitis while working on the dubbing.
The scene in which Master Shifu 'teaches' Po kung fu techniques using dumplings and chopsticks was inspired by a similar scene from the movie 'The Fearless Hyena'.
In the Chinese localization of the film, Master Crane was voiced by Jaden Chan (Jackie Chan's son).
During Tai Lung's escape from prison, 5 arrows are fired at him, and 4 stick near him (he immediately "sends" the 5th back), but after a few seconds, 5 arrows are stuck near him again.
The scene in which Master Shifu "trains" Po in kung fu techniques using dumplings and chopsticks is inspired by a similar scene from the film "Fearless Hyena."
When Po enters the Jade Hall, he sees the armor of the Flying Rhino Warrior, which is stylistically reminiscent of Iron Man’s armor (the same colors, the same hole in the chest).
The names of the main characters were chosen from real words in the Chinese language. Shifu means “teacher,” Tai Lung – “great dragon,” and Oogway – “tortoise.”
Master Shifu's coloration, unlike all other characters, does not correspond to the natural pattern of a red panda – like a giant panda, Shifu has the area around his eyes fully darkened and the rest of his head lightened.
In the Chinese localization of the film, Master Crane was voiced by Jaycee Chan (the son of Jackie Chan).
When Po claims he has no special qualities or strengths, unlike each of the Furious Five, he specifically mentions that he doesn't have claws like Tigress. In reality, giant pandas have quite impressive, sharp claws that help them climb trees and defend themselves from enemies.
