A bellycious adventure awaits Po in Kung Fu Panda 4

Po the Dragon Warrior is back with a new adventure!

In Kung Fu Panda 4, Po, the Dragon Warrior (Golden Globe nominee Jack Black), is called upon by destiny to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace.

“When Po steps into the shoes of Spiritual Leader, you get to see his whole internal struggle,” says Black, who himself steps back into Po’s shoes almost a decade after the third film. “He has the Staff of Wisdom, but he’s scratching his head wondering if he knows anything about wisdom at all. This chapter is like Po’s mid-kung fu-life crisis. More wisdom, fewer dumplings, but the same lovable Po.”

It’s the same lovable Po but in an entirely new adventure. “The Kung Fu Panda world continually evolves and expands,” DreamWorks Animation President Margie Cohn says. “Of all the journeys Po has been on, this story is his most emotional and exciting. As Po faces new challenges and characters like Zhen [played by Awkwafina], and the most menacing opponent the Valley of Peace has ever seen in The Chameleon, this film takes him, and in turn the audience, on a fantastical new adventure.”

Ensuring the continued success of this monumental franchise required the expertise of a director deeply immersed in its essence. Enter Mike Mitchell, a seasoned director with an impressive repertoire that includes iconic franchises Shrek and Trolls, and contributions to all the previous Kung Fu Panda films.

“My goal in any franchise, especially my favorites, is to remind everyone of what made the first film great,” Mitchell says. “Kung Fu Panda has a timeless quality, and we wanted to emphasize that. We wanted to infuse even more action, pushing boundaries with new camera techniques not explored in animation before. Think of cool GoPro-style action, typically seen in live-action films. We aimed to bring that dynamic energy into the animated world, and what better canvas than a Kung Fu Panda film? Our aim was to create the biggest and best installment of this franchise, with a grander scale, more humor and the best action yet.”

A spark in all of us
A lot of that action is thanks to all the trouble caused by this installment’s formidable new villain Chameleon, voiced by Oscar winner Viola Davis, who attributes the franchise’s enduring popularity to its characters being reluctant heroes. “I think that sparks something in all of us,” Davis says. “Po doesn’t necessarily look like a warrior, but it sparks the imagination and allows the viewer to envision what they can become. It feels great to be part of this group now. I’ve always wanted to do an animated movie, and with this film, I felt like the right character and the right group of people found me, and I’m just happy to be in their company.”

For Awkwafina (voice of Zhen), another newcomer to the franchise, joining the Kung Fu Panda family holds personal significance. “It means a lot to me because this isn’t just an animated franchise, it’s a beloved world that’s resonated with audiences for so many years. And being able to contribute to a film that pays homage to the beauty of Chinese culture adds an extra layer of personal significance.”

A must-watch for the entire family, Kung Fu Panda 4, also featuring the voices of Dustin Hoffman, James Hong, Bryan Cranston, Ian McShane and Ke Huy Quan and distributed by Universal Pictures International, now in cinemas.

PUSS IN BOOTS: The Last Wish Movie Review

Puss in Boots The Last Wish is Dreamworks Animations' pre-holiday gift for children of all ages and brings back Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek as the voices of Puss and Kitty Softpaws, respectively. The movie is set to open in PH theaters this Wednesday, December 7th.

Still hungry for adventure, Puss in Boots had just realized that he is left with his one last life after killing a giant and being dropped by a bell. Thinking about his retirement, he is now hunted by The Big Bad Wolf or Death as he calls it.

In his last quest, he goes to find the Wishing Star to restore his nine lives. There he reunites with an abandoned love Kitty Softpaws and meets a new sidekick Perro. The three of them endure an adventure against Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Big Jack Horner before they get to the Wishing Star.

The newest story from the makers of Shrek still gets the humor for everyone who started the franchise. You'll miss the whole team, of course, but we all deserve Puss and his adventure in his 9 lives. We are still looking forward for more fairy tales to include in the series.

Digging deeper into the essence of the story, Perro steals the scene. A happy-go-lucky dog might be just one that we need. He also makes us realize that we might already have what we're wishing for and that it's already a good thing. Selfishness has no room for him that's why he could be the best buddy for everyone. He is just so happy with what he already has and even more grateful in the presence of Puss and Kitty.

Puss in Boots The Last Wish is a very enjoyable movie for everyone. An epic adventure that will even warm your heart.
