Story (Kung Fu Panda):
Introduction (Kung Fu Panda):
The “Kung Fu Panda” movie is about a white and black bear named Po, a panda who was grown up by a goose, Mr. Ping. Po always helped Mr. Ping in the restaurant which he owns where they sell different type of noodles together. But he always dreams of becoming a Kung Fu Warrior. One day, while he was sleeping, he dreamed of fighting with bad guys and he had Furious Five on his side.
Furious Five:
The Furious Five consisted of five members (Tigress, Monkey, Crane, Viper, and Mentis) and they were taught by Master Shifu. But when he came down to his father, he told him that he had a noodle dream. His father in excitement gave him a cap like his.
Dragon Warrior Selection (Kung Fu Panda):
Suddenly a poster was pasted on the wall with an announcement that the Great Master Oogway is going to chose the Dragon warrior and whoever would be chosen would be blessed with the dragon scroll. Everyone ran to the Jade Palace to saw the Kung Fu warrior. Po also wanted to go but his father asked him to take the noodles with him and sell there. He unwillingly did so.
Po in Jade Palace:
But it was very difficult for him to climb the stairs of the Jade Palace with that stall. So, he left the trolley there and went alone. But at the last moment, the doors were closed. He was unable to see them. An idea came to his mind. He blasted himself using fireworks and landed just in between the Furious Five.
Po the next dragon warrior:
It was the time when Master Oogway was going to decide the Dragon Warrior and he pointed at Po. Everyone was shocked and considered it an accident. But Master Oogway had already Chosen. So the event ended.
Tai lung (Kung Fu Panda):
The reason to choose the Dragon warrior was that an old student of Master Shifu whom Master Shifu trained with all his heart and raised him like his own child had became evil and Master Oogway already knew that he will escape from the Jail. When Master Oogway told Shifu about this, he quickly sent Zeng to Jail to inform the Commander to increase the security. But this decision was a mistake as Tai Lung escaped using Zeng’s feather.
Shifu’s harsh training:
Shifu did not want Po to be in the jade palace and he did everything so that Po withdrew. But with Master Oogway support Po stick to his place of not leaving in any situation. Zeng came back with a bad news that Tai Lung Had escaped and coming to get the Dragon scroll. Shifu quickly ran to tell this news to Master Oogway but Master Oogway advised him to believe his decision and tell them it was not an accident. After that he left everyone.
Furious five and Tai lung:
When Master Shifu told everyone about this, Po got scared and ran away but Shifu stopped him and asked him why he stayed before? And Po answered that Shifu could change him. Hearing their conversation, Tigress along with other four left to stop Tai Lung but they failed. On the other side, Shifu got the way to train Po Kung Fu.
Po’s Kung Fu training (Kung Fu Panda):
He found that Po can do anything when it comes to food. He used Po’s skill and trained him. When they came back, Master Shifu gave him The Dragon scroll but it was all empty. After seeing that Shifu ordered them to evacuate the valley and for that time, he will stop Tai Lung. Po was very sad while leaving. So his father to cheer him up told him the secret ingredient to his secret noodle soup.
Dragon scroll secret:
He exposed that there was no secret ingredient; we just need to think it’s special. After listening, Po thought Dragon scroll as important and came back to fight for the dragon scroll’s safety. During his fight, Po was fighting incredibly that Tai Lung it was the blessings of the scroll.
Happy Ending (Kung Fu Panda):
But at the end when he gets the scroll, he came to knew that there is nothing in it except a blank reflecting surface. He in rage wanted to kill Panda but it was not affecting Po at all due to his fat body. After that Po used Wuxi finger holding technique and sent him to the spirit world. And they lived happily afterwards.
