Kung Fu Panda 3 Hindi Voice Actors

[Rodney Liuzzo]

TheKung Fu Panda voice actors are a heavy-duty lineup of acting talent that's almost unrivaled animated movie. The 2008 DreamWorks movie about Po, the giant panda who is destined for martial arts greatness, captured the hearts of audiences and went on to spawn three sequels, as well as a host of spin-off TV shows. Over a decade after its release, the franchise is a recognized property, but it's the star-studded list of Kung Fu Panda voice actors that helped it get off the ground when it first hit theaters.

The Kung Fu Panda cast is stacked with distinct and recognizable voices. Jack Black establishes the comedic tone right away as Po, and he maintains a zany type of energy from sequence to sequence. However, Jack Black is far from the only recognizable name in the cast of Kung Fu Panda, and while the actor is a global superstar, at the time of the film's release he was perhaps not even the biggest associated with the Dreamworks movie. Almost all the Kung Fu Panda voice actors continue to have prominent careers, can can be recognized from some of the biggest movies of the last few decades.

Jack Black stars as the protagonist Po, a large Panda who dreams of becoming a kung fu master. While leading the Kung Fu Panda cast as Po is now one of Jack Black's most celebrated roles, he's had a prominent career both before and since the movie's release. A regular in comedy movies in the 2000s, Jack Black starred as Dewey Finn in School of Rock and the titular wrestler in the luchador-themed comedy Nacho Libre, among others.

Initially, Jack Black rose to fame as the lead vocalist for the band Tenacious D, leading to him playing a fictionalized version of himself in 2006's Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. More recently, Jack Black portrayed Oberon in the rebooted Jumanji movies, and flexed his voice-acting skills once more as Bowser in Super Mario Bros.

American actor Dustin Hoffman voices the red panda Shifu, who teaches Po and The Furious Five. Outside being one of the most widely recognized Kung Fu Panda voice actors, Dustin Hoffman is best known for his Oscar-winning lead performances in Rain Man and Kramer vs. Kramer. The actor first rose to prominence in the late 1960s after starring as Ben Braddock in the 1967 classic The Graduate.

Hoffman then portrayed the memorable conman "Ratso" in the career-defining movie Midnight Cowboy (both roles earned Oscar nominations). Hoffman worked throughout the '70s, '80s, and '90s, having starring roles in various iconic movies across genres, such as Tootsie, Hook, Outbreak, and Meet the Fockers. Hoffman recently portrayed Harold in the 2017 film The Meyerowitz Stories.

Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) drops the news on Po that he must find a successor to take over for him as the Dragon Warrior to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace, where his journey to master martial arts began back in 2008.

Beloved butt-kicker Po (voiced by Jack Black) has come a long way since we first met him in 2008 and he wanted nothing more than to fight alongside the Furious Five. In this latest installment, he accompanies grey fox Zhen to assess the growing threat of a shape-shifting chameleon with a hunger for power, who has a sinister, sorcerous scheme brewing.

Clever silver fox Zhen (Awkwafina) had to fight for survival early on in life on the streets. Her jade earring unfolds into a paperclip-like key that can unlock almost anything, and she has the perfect paws (and tail) for pickpocketing.

Mr. Ping has been with Po since the very beginning as his adopted goose father. Mr. Ping owns a noodle shop in the Valley of Peace, where Po worked until he had a mishap with fireworks and landed in front of Master Oogway (voiced by Randall Duk Kim).

Master Shifu has also been with Po, or at least in proximity to him, since the beginning of the film franchise. It took him a moment, but he figured out how to motivate Po with food. The wise red panda took over from Master Oogway in the first film after the ancient tortoise ascended to the spirit realm and left some great lessons behind in a peach pit and tree.

Master Ping Xiao Po (voiced by Jack Black in films, TV specials and The Dragon Knight, by Mick Wingert in TV series, and by Eric Loomis in games) is the main protagonist of the Kung Fu Panda franchise. A kung fu fan and giant panda working at his adoptive father's noodle restaurant, Po is chosen by Grand Master Oogway as the legendary Dragon Warrior, a decision that angers Shifu and the Furious Five. When Tai Lung escapes from prison, Shifu uses food to motivate Po into mastering kung fu. He battled Tai Lung in combat and defeats him using the legendary Wuxi Finger Hold technique and is declared a master.

In Kung Fu Panda 2, Po learns that he was adopted by Ping as a baby (voiced by Liam Knight) after Lord Shen committed a massacre against the giant pandas. The end of the film reveals that Po's biological father Li Shan is still alive, and he reunites with his son in Kung Fu Panda 3. When the undead warrior General Kai steals the chi of the other kung fu masters, Po and Li create an army from the remaining giant pandas. After destroying Kai, Po has a spiritual reunion with Oogway, who informs Po that his journey as the Dragon Warrior has come full circle. He returns to the mortal world with his extended family. Kung Fu Panda 4 sees Po having to choose a new Dragon Warrior to take his place, as he is to ascend to his new spot as the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Po struggles with the choice, as he is afraid of giving the Dragon Warrior title away. On his quest to defeat the Chameleon, Po befriends a thief named Zhen, who initially worked for the Chameleon but her friendship with Po caused her to defect. Seeing her change her ways inspires Po to finally accept that things change, and in the end he accepts his new post, and choses Zhen as his successor.

Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, which occurs between the first and second film, shows Po's greater development as a kung fu warrior and master after defeating Tai Lung, while the follow-up series, Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny, takes place after the events of the third film and shows Po in a mentor role to four young pandas. Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight, also takes place after the events of the third film and shows Po in a journey to protect four legendary and powerful weapons from two English weasel magicians who intend to use them to take over the world. Po also appears in all short films and specials, as well as the video games.

Master Shifu (voiced by Dustin Hoffman in the films and TV specials, and Fred Tatasciore in the TV series and video games) is a red panda, the headmaster of the Jade Palace, and the trainer of the Furious Five. He joined the palace when his father, the con artist Shirong, abandoned him there. Later in life, Shifu adopted Tai Lung, and he did not acknowledge his own role in the snow leopard's turn to evil until after Po was deemed the Dragon Warrior. Although Shifu initially doubts Po's potential in kung fu, he later trains Po to help him defeat Tai Lung and become a kung fu master.

After Tai Lung's defeat, Shifu becomes a more relaxed master to Po and the Five. By the time of the third film, he has retired from active teaching in order to focus on learning how to use chi, and he passes on the instructor mantle to Po. When Kai attacks the Jade Palace, Shifu is turned into a jade soldier and a member of Kai's army, but he is returned to normal when Po destroys Kai in the Spirit Realm. In the fourth film, Shifu tells Po that he will become the spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace. In the ending, he helps Po and the Furious Five train Zhen for the next Dragon Warrior, despite his reservations about her past.

Zhen (voiced by Awkwafina) is a corsac fox and thief in Juniper City. Initially raised by a band of thieves, Zhen was eventually taken in by the Chameleon after she took over the city, as she saw the potential in her. The next years Zhen stole things for her master, which made her the enemy of most people in the city. One day she is sent to the Jade Palace to attempt to steal the Staff of Wisdom, but is trapped by Po. As she is locked up, she overhears of Tai Lung's apparent return and tells Po that the attacker is not his old nemesis, but the Chameleon. After negotiating with Po, he agrees to take her with him to Juniper City so he can defeat the Chameleon. During their trip however, she and Po become close friends, as he becomes the first genuine friend she has, and believes she can change. Eventually Zhen betrays Po by getting the staff and giving it to the Chameleon, but quickly regrets it and is devastated when he is apparently killed. Zhen then discovers that the Chameleon never cared for her, and would get rid of her as soon as she stopped being useful. After seeing her bring back Tai Lung and other deceased masters to get their chi, Zhen finally defects fully from the Chameleon. She attempts to stop Po from fighting her, but when it is clear that he will not stop, she, alongside Mr. Ping and Li Shan, recruits the thief band that raised her so they can distract the guards so she can get to Po in time. Zhen arrives just in time to help an overwhelmed Po. The Chameleon, angered by her betrayal, transforms into a beast with all the kung fu masters' skills, and a Po clone to fight the duo; Zhen decided to stand back while Po fights his clone alone, but he is apparently trapped in a cage, so Po gives Zhen his staff so she can defeat the Chameleon. This time Zhen keeps her loyalty and uses the techniques Po taught her to stun the Chameleon. Po soon reveals he was never trapped and was just testing Zhen's heart, before he delivers the final blow towards the Chameleon with the technique. After the past villains give Po their respect, Zhen watches as Tai Lung takes her old master to the Spirit Realm with him. The Chameleon pleads for her help, but she dismisses her and watches her get trapped in the realm. She Po, and his fathers return to the Valley of Peace, where she intends to serve her time before starting a new life. To her surprise, Po instead chooses her to be his successor as the Dragon Warrior, and begins training her alongside the Furious Five.
