Watched the three movies only recently and immediately fell in love with them. It’s been a very long time since I used to be this invested in an animated film franchise. I had the impression {that a} kung fu film a few panda can be ridiculous even for animation requirements however rattling was I flawed. The trilogy is very entertaining with equal dose of humor, enjoyable, motion, drama & feelings. For a seemingly foolish children movies, the emotional beats are highly effective. Some examples embrace:
Po Finds Inner Peace
or
Oogway Ascends
But the very best 2 issues I discovered in regards to the movies had been the world-building & villains. The world constructing is actually cool particularly the artwork design they use which is seemingly Asian impressed. This outcomes in very cool imagery comparable to:

Coming to the villains, Tai Lung & Shen from movies 1 & 2 are expertly achieved. Of course including in actors like Ian McShane & Gary Oldman to voice them provides further charisma to them. But the designs & feats of each these villains have been achieved rather well. Just check out the scene the place Tai Lung escapes:
And how cool is the character design of Shen which makes him appear at dwelling with a FromSoft recreation:
The visuals are splendid & Music from Hans Zimmer & John Powell splendidly assist the motion on display.
Movie 3 took a little bit of a dip in high quality imho however nonetheless very stable. Movie 2 was my favourite as a result of it upped the drama & stakes plus the animation was unimaginable & Shen too in fact.
I put KFP trilogy greater than most animated franchises. I believe it may simply rise up to 90% of Pixar/Disney output for the reason that 2000s.
Really hyped for film 4 popping out subsequent yr as per Variety.
