The Panda we all adore is back in theatres and is back with more fun, wit and tickle. The third in the franchisee, Kung Fu Panda 3 is actually much closer to the first movie than the second one, since Po our Panda has overcome the miseries of understanding his past. This movie is all about the present and his graduation from a fighter to a teacher to the master of chi, (life force) and although it seems hard to imagine Po as a teacher, you would simply adore the transformation.
It’s also a story that deeply inspires and you would be wrong if you dismiss it as a children’s movie. The team at DreamWorks Studios has managed to present a great family movie where each one will have something to go back with and you might even return for more. Especially to understand what is a dramatic entrance, and how important it can be. You may be anyone doing anything, but if you can just use a bit of dramatic entrance, half your battle is already won.
The story revolves around a new character Kai, who returns from the spirit realm and plans to invade the mortal world. He has mastered the art of chi and is a ruthless beast that captures the chi of others and uses them as slaves. Kai has already defeated master Oogway and now wants to take over the valley and take chi from all his students, including dragon warrior Po. Master Shifu promotes Po to a Kung Fu teacher and his friends mock him for being terrible at teaching. Po eventually evolves into a wonderful teacher once he realises “what it means to be a teacher”.
Po meets his real father, due to a universe mail sent by Oogway, and travels to the secret village of pandas hidden away in the mountains, and this is where most of the fun lies. Kung Fu Panda 3 is going to lift your spirits for it clearly states is that you don’t need to be someone else, you just need to be you and the best of you. The universe needs you to be you, with all the fun you can have, and a dramatic entry would be helpful.
