One day, Master Oogway (Voiced by Randull Duk Kim) and Master Shifu (Voiced by Dustin Hoffman) decides to throw in an event to chose who the Dragon Warrior will be, opportunity knocks for Po as accident gets chose by Oogway to be the Dragon Warrior to defeat a powerful and strong escaped convict named TaiLung (Voiced by Ian McShane). However the furious five such as Monkey (Voiced by Jackie Chan), Tigress (Voiced by Angelina Jolie), Mantis (Voiced by Seth Rogen), Crane (Voiced by David Cross) and Viper (Voiced by Lucy Liu) with Shifu all seem to dislike Po as they don't believe he is the true Dragon Warrior but according to Oogway they must train him from fat oaf to savior of the village.
Hugely exciting, hilarious and heart-warming animated martial arts comedy from Dreamworks is their greatest CGI animated work since "Shrek 1 & 2" and "Over the Hedge". This movie is a first time for Dreamworks not to use modern music (except at th end credits) or pop culture references but straight storytelling. There's good timed humor and great animation abound with an imaginative opening sequence and end credits with traditional animation. The music score by Hans Zimmer is very Asian and well done, the film also uses heart to go with it's brains with a secret message of what the secret of truth means.
This with "Wall-E" are great examples of true animation and storytelling.
