It is the third installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise and the sequel to Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011). My vote is seven.Kung Fu Panda 3 is a 2016 computer-animated fantasy martial arts comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox worldwide and by Oriental DreamWorks in China. I just regret that I did not pay much attention to this animation before and only now I have watched it. Dustin Hoffman also makes the difference with the voice of the wise Master Shifu. Po is tailored for Jack Black and I can not imagine this character without his voice. The computer-animated heroes and villain are hilarious, supported by the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angeline Jolie and other magnificent actors and actresses.
"Kung Fu Panda" is a very funny and entertaining animation, with the delightful story of a clumsy Panda that dreams on being a hero. Now the only chance to stop Tai Lung is the glutton Po. The Furious Five tries to intercept Tai Lung, but they are defeated. Meanwhile the evil Tai Lung breaks out the high-security prison where he has been arrested for twenty years and heads to the temple of Oogway, expecting to get the Dragon Scroll and becomes more powerful.
Po joins the academy of Master Shifu that does not believe that Po might be The Dragon Warrior.
When Master Oogway summons the population to announce who would be The Dragon Warrior, he surprisingly points out to the slacker Po, frustrating the expectations of Master Shifu and Tigress. He works in the restaurant of his father specialized in noodles, but he dreams on being a kung fu hero. In China, the big, fat and clumsy Panda Po is a great fan of martial arts and worships The Furious Five - Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey – and their Master Shifu.
