In the film, Po is reunited with his birth father and discovers the existence of a secret Panda Village, but must soon learn to master chi and prepare the pandas to fight against Kai, a spirit warrior intent on destroying Oogway's legacy. It is the third installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise and the sequel to Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011). There are some great animation effects in the final battle.Īt the end of the day this is a quite recommendable family movie.Kung Fu Panda 3 is a 2016 computer-animated action comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox worldwide and by Oriental DreamWorks in China. It should come as no surprise that Po, as usual, saves the day in a cataclysmic showdown with General Kai. In general the story is quite nice with some nice twists. The main story is of course about defeating General Kai but Po’s reunification with his (real) father and the rest of the, funny and very clumsy, inhabitants in the Panda village is taking up a large part of the movie. Then of course, a bull in itself is already projecting bad temper and violence so it is a good start. General Kai is pretty good as a villain with a suitable maniacal expression on his face. Naturally there is a big bad villain, General Kai, who it turns out have some past relations to Oogway. The wise turtle Oogway from the first Kung Fu Panda is back as well, kind of. As usual he is accompanied by his friends from the previous movies including the somewhat reluctant Shifu. Po is himself, clumsy, naïve, martial arts master and funny. A roller coaster ride of gags, goof ups and outrageous martial art outbursts. Kung Fu Panda 3 is about what you would expect. All the cast was returned from the previous two and a few more new were recruited and it is set in a new location for the most of the narration like the most of the animations has done in China. This is a beautiful family film and must not miss it. Now Po got a promotion, so I'm very excited for the next film for how it will going to turn out. This time no Skadoosh, but a new villain with a battle fought for a new powerful thing called Chi. He's not a big player, but like Yoda, he's amazing and tell me who won't like him. The master Oogway comes at the beginning and then during the end, though very happy for presence as he's my favourite character in this franchise. This particular part belongs to Pandas, the furious five were absent in most of the film, but good to see the return of Oogway.
I think it was a well designed storyline in advance keeping in mind 5 to 6 films, that's why the flow was very smooth between all the three with those flashbacks placed at the right place.
Visually, it was spectacular with all those fight sequences, but the story was quite dramatised with enough comedies and then the final battle to conclude the 3rd installment on a high note. After two wonderful adventures, now this story has calmed down a bit with simplicity. So if you are an animation fan, especially 'Kung Fu Panda' and Po's fan, brace yourself for the future treats. Three successful films in an animation franchise is a great achievement and according to the production house, yet another 3 films are going to hit the screens in a decade of time.
