Harpsong

Double bill of animated family adventures about a panda named Po (voiced by Jack Black). In ‘Kung Fu Panda’ (2008) Po works in his father’s noodle restaurant. Dad (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 (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 (Ian McShane). The man given the task of training Po is Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), but Shifu cannot believe that Po is really the Dragon Warrior. After all, Shifu has already trained the Furious Five, and he 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. In ‘Kung Fu Panda 2’ (2011) Po is now a kung fu master, spending his days working alongside Master Shifu (Hoffman) and The Furious Five – Monkey (Jackie Chan), Crane (David Cross), Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Viper (Lucy Liu), and Mantis (Seth Rogen) – to protect the Valley of Peace. But this harmonious new existence comes under threat from the evil emperor peacock Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), who has developed a deadly new weapon with which he plans to conquer China and destroy the ancient art of kung fu.
