Animated comedy adventurel featuring the voices of Jack Black, Angelina Jolie and Dustin Hoffman. Dragon Warrior Po is forced to face his destiny when he discovers his long-lost father and comes up against a villain from the Spirit Realm, who is collecting the chi energy of all the kung fu masters.
The affable third chapter in the animated saga pits Po the panda (voiced by Jack Black) against a supernatural warrior (JK Simmons) who is collecting the chi energy of China's greatest martial artists in order to extend his powers. Meanwhile, Po's long-lost biological father (Bryan Cranston) shows up and takes Po back to the Shangri-la style village of his youth. While too many favourite characters are sadly sidelined and similar ground is covered to the previous episodes (discovering the potential within, the meaning of family), the film boasts inventive and dazzling visuals that beautifully recall Asian art works. The tonal mix of life lessons, energetic action and zany humour is right on the money, while the ending provides a stirring homage to Seven Samurai.
