I was hoping this would be good and it was. I missed it in theaters so I bought it when it came out on blu-ray. Sure, the story could have been a little tighter but for a third installment, this was great.Po (Jack Black) is the Dragon Warrior and as such should be responsible for training the Furious Five. The first session does not go well and Po heads down to see his adoptive father (James Hong) for encouragement. He finds that a newcomer has broken his record for most dumplings eaten. Li (Bryan Cranston) is a panda who has come searching for his missing son. Po takes Li back to the Jade Temple to show him all of the friends he has made and learns that a warrior named Kai (JK Simmons) has escaped from the Shadow Realm after having stolen the chi of all the masters there. Only the Dragon Warrior can stop him and only after having mastered the art of chi. According to an ancient scroll, a secret village of pandas were the masters of chi. Li offers to take Po back to the secret village so he can learn who he is. Meanwhile, Kai continues to gain power.
Seriously, this was super cute. It didn't really break any new ground for message or story but it was fun to watch and beautifully animated.
