Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness

It's the continuing adventures of Po, the Dragon Warrior. He and his friends, the Furious Five, protect the Valley of Peace under the guidance of Shifu from various villains.

This brings the cinematic cartoon onto the TV screen. There are a couple actors reprising their voice work. Mostly, it's new people recreating the memorable voices. The characters and the work is very similar to the cinematic franchise except there are no big 3D action. The stories are nice and the characters are fun. There is nothing offensive or terribly edgy. This is a fine family cartoon for the younger crowd and adults should be fine watching it with them.

I become interested to this series after i watched the fourth movie which i don't really like. So what's make this series weak?

First this series (i think isn't canon) considering how it has many new powerful spell and magic, new lore that make no sense, and how they make the character have their personality as how the director like it, like they actually changing from one to another episode.

Second this series doesn't have a major continues story from one to another episode. I mean there are some story that progress but even in the end they give new villain instead, i mean they could make the last 10 episodes about Po sweep out the original villain in this series or get rid of them forever or such, the point is there are no real story between episodes it's just one new story about how they fight a villain and so on and so on.

Third they make some characters dirty, like there are an episode of furious five quitting or another where Shifu being such a jerk and unwise like how he is, and most importantly how Po being a complete brain dead like this series came out between the first and the second, while actually it's timeline after the second and before the third where Po should already get the inner peace and know kung fu better.

Some other things that i don't really like but not that much of a problem like the episodes doesn't contain an episode that only focus to one other character beside Po, at least that character get more screen time than Po. The animation and choreography obviously not as good as the movies but it is understandable.

I give it 7 because well it's enjoyable and i oftenly laughing watching this series. Despite all that weak points i think at the end one thing that matter the most is "are you enjoying it?", and yes i enjoyed it. Just take my brain of and watch this series with Po doing the most ridiculous thing imaginable. And of course furious five is here even though without their og voice actor.

The one thing I'll always remember from this show is the fight scenes. They were simply amazing. Easily among the best fights I've ever seen. And they don't carry the show either. Every episode I saw had good jokes and interesting stories. The Furious Five get a lot of development, though I'll admit it was mostly just Monkey or Tigress. And I always loved Po. He was funny and really brought life into the show.

I have always loved the first two Kung Fu panda films for there likable characters, simple yet charming story's and full of fun action scenes/comedy scenes.The third movie was good but it felt lacking in areas and it wasn't as good as the first two in my opinion. But the third film still had great action,animation and music to make it an enjoyable film overall.This TV show is a mixed bag by many people and while it's flawed in places, it can be pretty entertaining and it certainly has it's good episodes. The Show is funny and it has some great villains to(while others are meh at best). The animation is decent but since it's a TV show based of a film series i can kind of understand why it turned out the way it did. The music is decent and the action scenes are still fun to watch. The characters are a bit different and nowhere near as good as there film counterparts mainly Po who seems to be a bit more annoying then before. The voice acting is actually pretty solid and certain characters like viper and Mr ping sound the same (since they were voiced by the same actors). I would say check out this show if you are a hardcore Kung Fu panda fan and while it's characters are a little more unlikable then there film counter parts it's still worth having a look at.

The third series has the best episodes; I record ANY episode in DVD when sender put 'em on air, the wau I can watch 'em again and again instead of cycling the whole saga according to the local TV network. Even though graphics leaks of details in comparison of the movies, each overview is structured flawless, especially the dual-parts episodes e.g. "Enter The Dragon". Vocal actors in original version are worth hearing. Each episode can teach something that we can notice in the others, like the referrals to past episodes or something like that when we're watching a single episodio, not like the soap operas having sequels. Publishing of all Kung phu panda saga is quite slow but I understand the work behind the animation scenes and character martial movements and arts. So I give an excellent vote to this television program !
