Plot[]
In the Valley of Peace, a land in ancient China inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, the giant panda Po is a kung fu fanatic who idolizes the Furious Five – Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane – a quintet of kung fu students trained by the red panda Master Shifu. As he helps his adoptive goose father Mr. Ping in his noodle restaurant, Po is unable to pursue his dream of becoming a kung fu master himself.
Grand Master Oogway, an old tortoise and Shifu's mentor, has a vision that Shifu's former student, the evil snow leopard Tai Lung, will escape from prison and return to the Valley of Peace to take revenge for being denied the Dragon Scroll, which is said to hold the secret to limitless power. Shifu is alarmed and sends his messenger, Zeng the goose, with a request for the prison to heighten security in order to prevent Tai Lung's escape. He then holds a kung fu tournament for the Furious Five so that Oogway may identify the Dragon Warrior, the one kung fu master worthy of receiving the Dragon Scroll and capable of defeating Tai Lung. Forced to take a cumbersome noodle cart to the tournament, Po arrives as the arena doors close and is unable to enter. Desperate to see the Dragon Warrior chosen, Po straps himself to a set of fireworks, rockets into the sky, and crashes into the middle of the arena and opens his eyes to see Oogway pointing his finger at him. To the shock of everyone present, Oogway proclaims Po as the Dragon Warrior.
Unwilling to accept that Oogway's decision was intentional, Shifu tries to get rid of Po through a torturous and agonizing training regime. The Furious Five also scorn and disparage Po as an upstart with no skill or potential in kung fu. However, after receiving encouragement from Oogway, Po endures his training and slowly begins to befriend the Five with his tenacity, culinary skill, and good humor. Meanwhile, Tai Lung escapes from prison as foreseen by Oogway, ironically picking his locks with one of Zeng's fallen feathers. Shifu learns of Tai Lung's escape from Zeng and informs Oogway, who extracts a promise from Shifu to believe in Po, and then passes on to the heavens in a stream of peach blossoms. Still unable to grasp the basics of kung fu, Po despairingly admits that he has no chance of defeating Tai Lung. Shifu, however, discovers that Po is capable of impressive physical feats when motivated by food. Using this as positive reinforcement, Shifu successfully trains Po to incorporate these feats into an effective kung fu style.
Meanwhile, the Furious Five set out to stop Tai Lung themselves, only to be overwhelmed and defeated by Tai Lung's nerve strikes. Shifu decides that Po is ready to receive the Dragon Scroll, but the scroll reveals nothing but a blank reflective surface. Unable to understand the message of the scroll, Shifu orders Po and the Five to evacuate the valley. As Tai Lung arrives and fights Shifu, the distraught Po finds Mr. Ping who, in an attempt to console him, reveals that the long-withheld secret ingredient to his famous "secret ingredient soup" is "nothing", explaining that "to make something special you just have to believe it is". Po realizes that this is the message of the Dragon Scroll, and goes back to confront Tai Lung before he is able to kill Shifu.
Po becomes a formidable challenge for Tai Lung, frustrating him with confusing fighting techniques on top of a physique that renders him immune to Tai Lung's dangerous nerve strikes. Tai Lung momentarily bests Po and retrieves the scroll, but is unable to understand or accept its symbolic meaning. Eventually, Po defeats Tai Lung in combat before using the mysterious Wuxi Finger Hold to vanquish him. Po is praised by the Valley of Peace and earns the respect of the Furious Five, who fully acknowledge him as a true kung fu master. Po then finds Shifu, who finally attains inner peace with the valley safe once more.
Trivia[]
- Baloo, Bagheera, and Pete guest star in both versions of this film.
- The Digidestined and their Digimon, Mushu, Cri-Kee, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Master Splinter, and Shredder will guest star in Daniel Esposito's upcoming remake version of this film. Mushu originally guest starred in LionKingRulezAgain1's original version of Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa's Adventures of Kung Fu Panda, but it was later decided that the character would instead be switched from Yakko Warner's upcoming remake version of that film (along with The Lion King/Ronald McDonald/Kung Fu Panda sequels) to the Winnie the Pooh/Kung Fu Panda franchise to keep the storyline straight with Pooh's Adventures of Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness.
- The Vultures (Buzzie, Flaps, Dizzy, and Ziggy) and Jiminy Cricket will join Pooh and his friends in Daniel Esposito's upcoming remake version of this film.
- This film revealed that Po is Pooh and Baloo's Cousin.
- Like LionKingRulezAgain1's original version of Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa's Adventures of Kung Fu Panda, LionKingRulezAgain1's original version of this film was a PAL film with PAL bits from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin, The Tigger Movie, Piglet's Big Movie, and Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie and NTSC bits from Pooh's Heffalump Movie and The Jungle Book 1 and 2. However, it is unknown if Daniel Esposito's upcoming remake version will use the NTSC or PAL version of the real film.
- Unlike in Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa's Adventures of Kung Fu Panda (in which Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa joined The Furious Five to stop Tai Lung and the Hyenas from coming to the Jade Palace), Pooh, his friends, Baloo, and Bagheera stayed in the Jade Palace and watched Shifu train Po.
- Henry Jackman (who composed the music score for Winnie the Pooh) also composed some of the additional music cues for Kung Fu Panda.
