-Jack
Black
With
2008's
KUNG
FU
PANDA,
the
talking-animal
CGI
film
enters
a
new
era,
one
that
makes
room
for
both
painterly
artwork
and
fierce
martial-arts
action.
Po
(voiced
by
Jack
Black),
a
clumsy
and
ever-hungry
panda,
is a
huge
kung
fu
fan,
but
seems
destined
to
sell
noodles
like
his
father,
Mr.
Ping
(James
Hong),
who
inexplicably
happens
to
be a
goose.
When
Po
literally
crashes
a
ceremony
involving
martial-arts
masters
Shifu
(Dustin
Hoffman)
and
Oogway
(Randall
Duk
Kim)
and
their
pupils,
the
Furious
Five--which
includes
Tigress
(Angelina
Jolie,
in a
surprisingly
small
part)
and
Crane
(David
Cross)--he
ends
up
being
selected
by
the
latter
elder
as
the
revered
Dragon
Warrior.
As
the
skeptical
Shifu
reluctantly
trains
the
hapless
Po,
his
former
star
pupil,
Tai
Lung
(Ian
McShane),
escapes
from
a
high-security
prison,
setting
up a
collision
course
between
the
bumbling
bear
and
the
powerful
villain.
