MOVIE DECISION GUIDE
CAST & DIRECTOR
Directed by Mark Osborne, John Stevenson. With Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
Chosen by prophecy but doubted by all, Po is an unlikely choice for the mystical title of the Dragon Warrior—a clumsy panda thrust into the world of kung fu as a deadly enemy threatens the Valley of Peace. Under reluctant guidance by Master Shifu and the Furious Five, Po must embrace who he is to unlock the power that no scroll can teach.
