ABOUT "KUNG FU PANDA":
Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po is the biggest fan of kung fu
around ... which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his
family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy,
Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of kung fu and studies
alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five-Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper
and Monkey-under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they
know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their
way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he
turn his dreams of becoming a kung fu master into reality? Po puts his heart
-- and his girth -- into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that
his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.
