Po's father (James Hong) wants him to take over the restaurant one day, but Po really wants to learn kung fu. The problem is, with his weight and size - and his clumsiness - Po doesn't seem cut out for kung fu. But then, by accident, he is thrown into the world of the great martial artist, Master Oogway (voice of Randall Duk Kim), who believes that Po is the legendary Dragon Warrior. According to Oogway's vision, the Dragon Warrior will save the Valley of Peace from the evil snow leopard, Tai Lung (voice of Ian McShane). The man given the task of training Po is Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), who cannot believe that Po is really the Dragon Warrior as he has already trained the Furious Five, and believes that one of them is the Dragon Warrior. So, Po must try to convince Shifu and the jealous Furious Five - and himself - that he really is the greatest kung fu master in the valley.

"Despite the underused big name cast, this is beautifully animated - from the stunning scenary to the slow-mo fight scenes - one that everyone can, and will enjoy."
