Review of Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016) by Pipec — 17 Mar 2016

The dragon warrior finds his family and returns with more verve and visual dynamism than in the previous installments.

Visual credulity begins from the moment of opening the film where Po Panda climbing endless stairs to make the logo of Dreamworks. The integration of new characters is accompanied eastern aesthetic environment and good jokes of the panda to make a family film full of action and adventure for boys and big. There is an animation and beautiful photography. I have fixed me that animation films of "Kung Fu Panda" is not fully detailed in their funds, but a blue sky sea water or a simply pink sunset is most magical and deeper than a location details ("Zootopia"), this buoyant and sophisticated effect can be seen in the opening bout.

This small and perhaps unenforceable detail is one of the great pleasures of Jack Black's films. Of the few successful projects of "Dreamworks Animation" "Kung Fu Panda", "Shrek" and "Madagascar" have been the face of the Studio, although these two latest already they have no chance, the bear panda still has more to give. Like its predecessors (2008-2011) this third entry is full of brilliance and visual warmth. The story doesn't feel loose and with its good development pervades easily with the audience.

Kai (JK Simmons) has returned for revenge, then that teammate had apparently betrayed him. For this the ox with irritated eyes steals the essences of life of teachers more powerful of the Kung Fu and unfortunately in his list appears Po (Jack Black). Meanwhile on Earth, the master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) headquarters his throne to the funny panda nothing more in order to find who is the panda. Po finds his lost father and embark on an expedition to a habitat full of mammals. There he will have to learn and teach his family martial arts to eventually fight with the furious animal.

Directors Alessandro Carloni (DreamWorks Animation) and Jennifer Yuh (2 "KFP") create a fun and interesting story where the legacy made previously is not sacrificed, instead they emphasize more the possibilities that has the franchise for a fourth part. The history of parents is loaded with funny jokes, but its main function is to generate the dramatic counterpart in the film. Therefore the central story is well established and the moments of action and adventure are excellently executed, illustrated as a masterpiece of animation.

"Kung Fu Panda 3" is clearly just fun. Perhaps it feel as a part that was unnecessary to do, since this franchise not weaves the story of its characters as Disney's sagas, Dreamworks recreates different stories in his films, a double-edged weapon. "KFP 3" has not the load dramatic that had "Toy Story 3"or "Monsters, Inc" but its brightness and comicality both visual and auditory create a nice film and that truly breaks expectations.
