Internet Archive Kung Fu Panda 3

[Senaqua Hildreth]

Inthe Spirit Realm, Master Oogway fights General Kai after he assaults him, a spirit warrior yak who has defeated all the other deceased kung fu masters and stolen their chi. Oogway has his own chi stolen, but not before he warns Kai that someone is destined to stop him. Kai uses the chi that he stole to return to the Mortal Realm, and is enraged to find he has been forgotten by history and swears to crush Oogway's legacy.

Meanwhile, Master Shifu announces his retirement from teaching, and names Po as his successor. Po's first attempts to teach inadvertently injure the Furious Five, and Shifu, who predicted the calamity, advises Po should try to be more like himself and less like Shifu. Disheartened, Po returns home, where he meets Li Shan, a panda who both quickly realize is Po's biological father, who came to find Po after receiving a sign from the universe that his son was alive. The two immediately bond, much to the dismay and jealousy of Po's adoptive father, Mr. Ping.

After introducing Li to Shifu and the Five, Po joins the Five to defend the Valley of Peace from Kai's jade zombies (known as "Jombies" to Po), who are the remains of the kung fu masters who had their chi stolen. Through research, the group learns that Kai and Oogway were once brothers-in-arms, and that Kai saved Oogway's life by taking him to a secret panda village to be healed after they were ambushed. The pandas taught Oogway to give chi, but Kai learned to take chi from others for his own personal power, forcing Oogway to battle and banish him to the Spirit Realm. Li offers to take Po to the village to learn chi and defeat Kai, while Shifu and the Five prepare to protect the Valley. Mr. Ping stows away, hoping to drive a wedge between Po and Li, but is soon discovered. At the village, Li chooses to teach Po chi once he has learned to live like a panda.

Kai, hoping to erase Oogway's legacy, steals the chi of every living kung fu master, and turning them into Jombies, including Shifu, Crane, Mantis, Monkey, and Viper, and throws Oogway's statue into the Jade Palace, destroying it. Tigress, the only one who escaped, tracks down Po and tells him what happened. When Po demands that Li teach him how to use chi immediately, Li confesses that he lied about knowing chi from fear of losing his son again. Hurt by his father's misdirection and knowing his friends would be in danger, Po disowns Li and trains alone to defeat Kai, while a repentant Mr. Ping sympathizes with Li, and assures him that Po will forgive him, and that he can't give up.

Kai arrives with his jombies and attacks the village. Po's students fight them, distracting Kai long enough for Po to try the Wuxi Finger Hold technique to send Kai back to the Spirit Realm. Kai reveals that the technique works only on mortals and that he is a spirit warrior, causing him to recall the chi and beat Po. To save the others, Po grabs Kai and executes the Wuxi Finger Hold on himself, banishing both him and Kai to the Spirit Realm. Enraged to be in the Spirit Realm again, Kai furiously attacks Po and begins to steal his chi and turn him into a Jombie. In the Mortal Realm, Li, recognizing that finding one's true self is the key to unlocking chi, leads the others to give their chi to Po. Rejuvenated, Po uses his now-augmented chi to disarm Kai and destroys him by overloading him with chi.

there's only one interaction or at least when you talk with him at the panda village, though po has a cute thing he says - something along the lines of ''hey, i think i see my dad over there! hi dad!'' lmaooo

greetings pandom! ever since 2019 i've been a MASSIVE fan of kung fu panda, practically becoming obsessed with the franchise and learning whatever i could about the movies themselves. one of my huge fascinations has always been with the concept art and visual development, which is why i practically lost my sanity upon first hearing about this

when kung fu panda 2 came out in may of 2011, an artbook was published by insight editions to go along with it much like its predecessor - providing a glimpse into the movie's production. however, with the physical artbook came a lesser known digital companion app meant for the ipad.

it had an even more in-depth look into the movie serving as supplementary material to the artbook itself. it included; galleries with characters, locations, storyboards and other miscellaneous information that was exclusive to the app, all curated by kfp2's production designer raymond zibach.

however the app is no longer available, removed at some point due to insight edition's contract expiring with dreamworks. much of the content is lost and scattered, however there are scarce remnants. the UX designer for the app worked closely with raymond zibach, assisting in the curation process by selecting video and artwork to bring the world of kung fu panda to life.

i know there are many out there who are just as passionate for all things kung fu panda whether it be related to the animation, characters, themes, unused concepts or the hard-work of artists and animators alike - especially kung fu panda 2! any assistance, help or leads in locating or recovering content from the app - screenshots or otherwise - would be greatly appreciated and a huge boon to fans!

OH to add on to this - in late 2011 there was a 15 part documentary focusing on lord shen's character, released on youtube by a KFP fan named leoandlamb. content from the app was featured in certain parts, such as this concept piece done by visual development artist jonathan klassen shown above. the text is a little hard to make out but

''A GLIMPSE OF SHEN: An early concept painting by Jonathan Klassen, this image depicts the moment in which Baby Po saw Shen, providing a key to understanding Po's flashbacks and a great example of the color themes used in the film.''

another screenshot of the app's layout, this time being the ''raymond's collection'' section. all of these were done by jason brubaker, another visual development artist for KFP2 who helped to design the shadow puppet prologue sequence.

''SHADOW PUPPET SEQUENCE, SOOTHSAYER PROPHECY: Jason Brubaker painted this image in which Ah Mah foretells the demise of Shen under the power of a presence that is essentially Yin-Yang, a balance of black and white.''
