The latest chapter in DreamWorks’ beloved animated saga has fans and newcomers alike buzzing with excitement. Get ready for an awesome adventure packed with laughs, heart, and some seriously epic kung fu action.
Our favorite panda warrior Po (voiced again by Jack Black) is in for his toughest test so far. While dealing with the rising threat of The Chameleon, a shapeshifting sorceress menacingly voiced by Viola Davis, Po must also find and train the next Dragon Warrior to take his place. Directors Mike Mitchell and Stephanie Stine, along with producer Rebecca Huntley, have crafted an all-new, high-stakes journey for the clumsy but courageous hero.
Joining Black is an all-star ensemble ready to deliver tons of humor and heart. Dustin Hoffman returns as the wise Master Shifu, with James Hong as Po’s dad Mr. Ping and Bryan Cranston as Li Shan. Newcomers include Awkwafina as Po’s new student Zhen, plus Ke Huy Quan and Lori Tan Chinn in undisclosed roles. And the Furious Five – though off on solo missions – remain key parts of the story celebrating friendship and perseverance.
But “Kung Fu Panda 4” isn’t just delivering awesome comedy and heartfelt storytelling. Thanks to cutting-edge animation tech and slick anime-inspired choreography, the martial arts sequences promise to be a visual knockout. Composer Hans Zimmer returns with Steve Mazzaro for an epic score, plus Tenacious D lending their signature sounds to a “…Baby One More Time” cover(!) Get ready for your eyes and ears to be blown away.
