That holds true here, especially during a lengthy brawl in a village full of pandas. The series’ strongest quality has always been its inventive funny-animal martial-arts throwdowns, staged and animated with wit and clarity. That said, if you don’t think about it, and if you’re onboard with endless variations on that one joke, Kung Fu Panda 3 is lively, well-engineered nonsense. If chi comes from being beloved, why does everyone else earn it through decades of solitude? And why is enlightenment pretty much just leveling up, or a gulp from Popeye’s spinach can? Whatever overarching lesson the screenwriters are after is beyond me. In the climax, it’s the love of his friends and family that awakens the spirit of chi inside him, and that makes him better at kicking and punching. His master teaches him that kicking and punching is not the key to chi, but that’s only technically true. The panda botches his first stab at teaching, but rest assured: Soon he will have the chance to prove his worth through violent adventure. Go on, America, keep yelling at Common Core while parking your kids in front of this stuff. In studio movies, especially for children, all it takes to be great at something difficult is a good heart and a training montage. Parents might perk up at that, but, alas, Kung Fu Panda doesn’t have the patience for thirty seconds of quiet - and it turns out that chi-mastery, like martial-arts skills, can be picked up lickety-split.

Second, he must become a master of chi, which we learn usually involves thirty years of silent contemplation in a cave. (Any of those characters might have inspired the writers to come up with a fresher story.)

First, he must become the teacher/leader of his squad of mixed-animal kung fu champs, which includes a monkey, a viper, and a praying mantis, voiced by Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, and Seth Rogen, respectively. (Despite his track record, he’s always all “Me?” when told he has to be a hero.) His master, a red panda named Master Shifu voiced (for some reason) by Dustin Hoffman, charges him early on with two tasks. Speaking of derivative: This time our appropriatin’ panda (gamely voiced by Jack Black) has to learn to be himself so that he’ll have a long-shot chance at defeating, through spirited fantasy violence, precisely the kind of enemies he’s triumphed over in two previous movies.

The movie undercuts its own undercutting.Īnd as with the Shrek pictures, Kung Fu Panda 3 is cause to wonder: What’s it mean when kids’ first exposure to hero’s-journey story beats comes from self-aware meta-adventures whose creators feel obliged, every few minutes, to let us know that they know those beats are tired and dumb? I don’t quail for the children, but here’s hoping that when they act out movie-like stories with their action figures they can do so earnestly, and not offer jokey half-assed apologies for being invested in something derivative. Almost every moment of martial-arts action is undercut by some spin on that single joke, and then every joke or moment of feeling is quickly dashed aside for another keep-us-dazzled moment of martial-arts action. But Kung Fu Panda 3, while generous in cuteness and sunset-backdrop beauty, stands as an unnecessary reminder that even the best gag probably shouldn’t power three full films, even afternoon-killers for the kiddos. That’s a sturdy gag, endearing and adaptable: Adorable Creature Oscar Isaac works a variation on it some ten minutes into The Force Awakens, tipping us off to the welcome fact that even for Star Wars people it’s presumptuous to don a cape and death-mask. Then the battle music fades and that adorable creature breaks badass character to remind us it’s totally relatable, even human: It wheezes to catch its breath, it shouts “Awesome!” in disbelief at its own stunt choreography, it asks with gentle awkwardness whether all this kung-foolery is maybe a little much. A ridiculous, adorable creature executes some extravagant action-flick flourish - vaulting over roofs, dropping a bad guy, striking a poster-perfect superhero pose. There’s essentially one joke in the Kung Fu Panda movies. Kung Fu Panda: Teaching American kids that other cultures are hilarious since ’08 Dreamworks
