Kung Fu Panda: L'Incroyable Légende

Well, I'm actually surprised with this show. It's definitely not as good as 2 films.

Animation is worse than in the movies, but not that bad. My only remark is that they sometimes use the same model for different characters, only changing the color of the robes. But even Disney is doing that. TV series cant spend as much money as for the movies. For example Aladdin TV series. Every male child looked like a miniature Aladdin, with same hairstyle.

Voice acting is GREAT. Voice actors are so convincing (except Tigress), they sound like their movie counterpart, especially Mick Wingert as Jack Black. And John DiMaggio and Richardson are great as Fung and Temutai.

Story is OK, with one or two plot holes.

New characters are good. Maybe little clichéd, but they're not annoying (for example "Aladdin" had Abyss Mall the worst cartoon character in history!!!). Some of the villains are even great, like Junjie and Temutai.

Overall, the show is decent. Nothing special, but if you liked Kung Fu Panda, you're like this too.

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 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 !

The kung fu panda movies are awesome. The first two are fantastic and the third while very good doesn't come close to the first two. The TV series imo was entertaining, funny, action packed, had some cool bad guys like ke-pa, solid music that fit the situations,animation while inferior looks pretty decent for a TV series based on a film series (lilo and stitch the series had worse animation then the first Lilo and stitch film yet no one seems to bash that). The characters are still expressive in emotions and I like how they have the same character designs in the films. The show does have it's really fun and funny episodes also such as enter the dragon which is an hour episode and is awesome to watch. The voice acting sound's really good a lot of the time and it has fun character intreations, the show does have it's not so good episodes and it's characterzation can be of sometimes like po being a bit more bad mannered at times tho most of time he wasn't that bad in the show but it is noticeable if you watched the films (I pefer his character in the movies tho, The furious five and shifu are like this but po is the most noticeable one). The writing is mostly well done with a few hiccups here and there. The theme song is really good also. Kung fu panda LOA gets a bad rep from fans and I can see wwhy but as someone who loves the films i actually was entertained by this. It's funny, cheesy( good kind of cheesy) cute, and has it's really cool moments. I think it's great and i would go into it with an open mind with thinking it's a kids show, you'll like it more if you do that.
