Legend tells of a legendary warrior...
...whose kung fu skills were the stuff of legend.
He traveled the land in search of worthy foes.
I see you like to chew. Maybe you should chew on my fist!
The warrior said nothing, for his mouth was full.
Then he swallowed. And then he spoke.
Enough talk. Let's fight!
He was so deadly in fact,
that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness.
- My eyes! - He's too awesome!
- And attractive. - How can we repay you?
There is no charge for awesomeness.
It mattered not how many foes he faced.
They were no match for his bodacity!
Never before had a panda been so feared! And so loved.
Even the most heroic heroes in Ohina,
bowed in respect to this great master.
But hanging out would have to wait.
Because when you're facing the 10,000 demons of Demon Mountain,
there's only one thing that matters and that's...
You'll be later for work!
Po. What are you doing up there?
Monkey! Mantis! Orane! Viper! Tigress!
Po! Let's go! You're late for work.
Sorry doesn't make the noodles.
What were you doing up there? All that noise.
Nothing. I just had a crazy dream.
What were you dreaming about?
Noodles? You were really dreaming about noodles?
Yeah. What else would I be dreaming about?
Oareful! That soup is sharp.
My son, finally having the noodle dream!
You don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment.
You are almost ready to be entrusted with the secret ingredient
of my Secret Ingredient Soup.
Then you will fulfill your destiny and take over the restaurant!
As I took it over from my father, who took it over from his father...
...who won it from a friend in mahjong.
Dad, Dad, Dad, it was just a dream.
We are noodle folk. Broth runs through our veins.
But, Dad, didn't you ever want to do something else?
Something besides noodles?
Actually, when I was young and crazy,
I thought about running away and learning how to make tofu.
Because it was a stupid dream.
Oan you imagine me making tofu?
No! We all have our place in this world.
Mine is here, and yours is...
No, it's at tables 2, 5, 7, and 12
Well done, students... if you were trying to disappoint me.
Tigress, you need more ferocity! Monkey, greater speed.
Orane, height. Viper, subtlety. Mantis...
It's Master Oogway. He wants to see you.
Master Oogway, you summoned me? Is something wrong?
Why must something be wrong for me to want to see my old friend?
That is impossible! He is in prison.
Fly to Ohorh-Gom prison and tell them
to double the guards, double their weapons, double everything!
Tai Lung does not leave that prison!
One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.
We must do something! We can't let him march on the valley, take his revenge!
Your mind is like this water, my friend.
When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see.
But if you allow it to settle...
...the answer becomes clear.
But who? Who is worthy to be trusted with the secret to limitless power?
To become the Dragon Warrior?
Excuse me. Pardon me. Sorry.
Sorry. A thousand pardons.
Master Oogway's choosing the Dragon Warrior! Today!
Everyone! Get to the Jade Palace! One of the Five is gonna get the Dragon Scroll!
We've waited 1,000 years for this! Take the bowl!
This is the greatest day in kung fu history! Just go!
You're forgetting your noodle cart.
The whole valley will be there, and you'll sell noodles to all of them.
But, Dad, I was thinking, maybe I...
- Yeah? - I was thinking maybe I...
...could also sell the bean buns. They're about to go bad.
I told you that dream was a sign.
- I'm a kung fu warrior! - Me, too!
- There's spots at the top. - Let's go.
- Sorry, Po. - We'll bring you back a souvenir.
No. I'll bring me back a souvenir.
Yes, and one I feared I would not live to see.
Whomever I choose will not only bring peace to the valley...
Let the tournament begin!
Let the tournament begin!
Oitizens of the Valley of Peace,
it is my great honor to present to you... Tigress!
Viper! Orane! Monkey! Mantis!
Wait. No. Oh, peeky-hole.
- Ready for battle! - Yeah.
The Thousand Tongues of Fire.
And finally Master Tigress!
And believe me, citizens, you have not seen anything yet.
Master Tigress! Face Iron Ox and his Blades of Death.
I sense the Dragon Warrior is among us.
Oitizens of the Valley of Peace,
Master Oogway will now choose the Dragon Warrior!
What does it look like I'm doing?! Stop!
I'm going to see the Dragon Warrior!
But I don't understand. You finally had the noodle dream!
I lied. I don't dream about noodles, Dad.
come on, son. Let's get back to work.
I just wanted to see who the Dragon Warrior was.
Master, are you pointing at me?
The universe has brought us the Dragon Warrior!
Stop, wait! Who told you to?
That flabby panda can't possibly be the answer to our problem.
You were about to point at Tigress and that thing fell in front of her!
That was just an accident!
Forgive us, Master. We have failed you.
No. If the panda has not quit by morning
then I will have failed you.
Wait! Wait, wait, wait! I bring a message...
"Your prison may not be adequate?!"
You doubt my prison security?!
Shifu does. I'm just the messenger.
I'll give you a message for your Master Shifu.
Escape from Ohorh-Gom prison is impossible!
One thousand guards and one prisoner.
Yes, except that prisoner...
I'm just gonna wait right here.
It's nothing to worry about. It's perfectly safe.
Hey, tough guy, did you hear?
Oogway's giving someone the Dragon Scroll, and it's not gonna be you.
What's he gonna do about it? I've got him completely immobilized.
Did I step on the wittle kitty's tail?
I'm good. I've seen enough.
I'll tell Shifu he has nothing to worry about.
Dragon Warrior! Dragon Warrior!
Dragon Warrior! Dragon Warrior!
I think there's been a slight mistake. Everyone seems to think that I'm...
The Sacred Hall of Warriors! No way!
Master Flying Rhino's armor, with authentic battle damage!
Said to be so sharp you can cut yourself just by looking.
The Invisible Trident of Destiny!
I've only seen paintings of that painting.
The legendary Urn of Whispering Warriors.
Said to contain the souls of the entire Tenshu Army.
Have you finished sight-seeing?
Sorry, I should have come to you first.
My patience is wearing thin.
Well, I mean, it's not like you were going anywhere.
- Would you turn around? - Sure.
How do you get 5,000... Master Shifu!
But I'll fix it. Do you have some...
So you're the legendary Dragon Warrior?
You are not the Dragon Warrior. You will never be the Dragon Warrior until...
...you have learned the secret of the Dragon Scroll.
Do you have a ladder, or a trampoline, or?
You think it's that easy? That I'll just hand you the secret
- to limitless power? - No, I...
One must first master the highest level of kung fu.
And that is impossible if that one is someone like you.
Yes, look at you! This fat butt! Flabby arms!
Those are sensitive in the flabby parts.
And this ridiculous belly.
And utter disregard for personal hygiene.
Now, wait a minute. That's uncalled for.
Don't stand that close. I can smell your breath.
Listen, Oogway said I was...
The Wuxi Finger Hold. Not the Wuxi Finger Hold!
Developed by Master Wuxi in the Third Dynasty.
Then you know what happens when I flex my pinky.
- No, no! - You know the hardest part of this?
The hardest part is cleaning up afterwards.
Now listen closely, panda.
Oogway may have picked you, but when I'm through with you,
I promise you, you're going to wish he hadn't! Are we clear?
Yeah, we're clear. We're so clear.
I can't wait to get started.
- Let's begin. - Wait, wait, wait.
Unless the great Oogway was wrong and you are not the Dragon Warrior.
I don't know if I can do all of those moves.
Well, if we don't try, we'll never know, will we?
Yeah, it's just, maybe we can find something more suited to my level.
Well, I'm not a master, but...
...let's just start at zero. Level zero.
No. There is no such thing as level zero.
- Maybe I can start with that. - That?
We use that for training children and propping the door open when it's hot.
You're bigger than your action figures. Except, you, Mantis. You're the same.
Go ahead, panda. Show us what you can do.
Are they gonna watch, or should I wait till they get back to work?
OK, yeah. I mean, I just ate. So I'm still digesting.
So my kung fu might not be as good as... later on.
What you got? You got nothing, 'cause I got it right here.
You picking on my friends? Get ready to feel thunder.
I'm coming at you with crazy feet.
come on. I'm a blur. You've never seen bear style.
You've only seen praying mantis.
Or I could come at you snickety-snake.
Why don't you try again? A little harder.
This will be easier than I thought.
I'm feeling a little nauseous!
There is now a level zero.
- There's no words. - No denying that.
- There's no words. - No denying that.
What was Master Oogway thinking?
The poor guy's gonna get himself killed.
The Dragon Warrior fell out of the sky on a ball of fire!
When he walks, the very ground shakes!
One would think Master Oogway would choose someone who knew kung fu.
Yeah, or could at least touch his toes.
That kung fu stuff is hard work, right? Are your biceps sore?
I've had a long and rather disappointing day, so...
Yeah, I should probably get to sleep now.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. - OK, thanks.
It's just... Man, I'm such a big fan!
You guys were amazing at the Battle of Weeping River.
Outnumbered a thousand to one, but you didn't stop. You just...
Look, you don't belong here.
I know. I know. You're right.
I don't have... I just...
My whole life I dreamed of...
No, I meant you don't belong here. I mean, in this room. This is my room.
So, you want to get to sleep.
- Yeah. - I'm keeping you up.
We got big things tomorrow.
All right. You're awesome. Last thing I'm gonna say. Bye-bye.
OK. All right. Good night.
That seemed a little awkward.
Master Tigress! I didn't mean to wake you.
- You don't belong here. - Yeah, of course.
I mean, you don't belong in the Jade Palace.
You're a disgrace to kung fu, and if you have
any respect for who we are and what we do,
you will be gone by morning.
I see you have found the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
Is that what this is? Sorry. I thought it was just a regular peach tree.
I understand. You eat when you are upset.
Upset? I'm not upset. What makes you think I'm upset.
I probably sucked more today than anyone in the history of kung fu.
In the history of Ohina. In the history of sucking!
And the Five! Man, you should've seen them! They totally hate me.
How is Shifu ever going to turn me into the Dragon Warrior?
I mean, I'm not like the Five.
I've got no claws, no wings, no venom.
Even Mantis has those... thingies.
Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.
You are too concerned with what was and what will be.
That is why it is called the present.
- Oh, no! - What's happening?!
To your battle stations! Go! Go! Go!
Tai Lung is free! I must warn Shifu.
- Not going anywhere! Neither is he! - Let go of me!
- He's coming this way! - He won't get far. Archers!
We're dead. So very, very dead.
I was beginning to think I'd been forgotten.
Fly back there and tell them...
...the real Dragon Warrior is coming home.
What do we do now, with the panda gone? Who will be the Dragon Warrior?
All we can do is resume our training and trust that in time,
the true Dragon Warrior will be revealed.
What are you doing here?!
Hi! Good morning, Master!
I thought I'd warm up a little.
Nah. This is one of my... Yeah, I'm stuck.
Maybe on three. One, two...
- Thank you. - Don't mention it.
- No, really, I appreciate... - Ever.
You actually thought you could learn to do a full split in one night?
It takes years to develop one's flexibility!
And years longer to apply it in combat!
The only souvenirs we collect here are bloody knuckles and broken bones.
- Are you ready? - I was born re...
I'm sorry, brother. I thought you said you were ready.
That was awesome! Let's go again!
I've been taking it easy on you, panda. But no more.
Your next opponent will be me.
All right! Yeah, let's go!
The true path to victory is to find your opponent's weakness...
...and make him suffer for it.
To take his strength and use it against him...
...until he finally falls...
A real warrior never quits.
Don't worry, Master. I will never quit!
If he's smart, he won't come back up those steps.
He's not going to quit, is he?
He's not going to quit bouncing, I'll tell you that.
I thought you said acupuncture would make me feel better.
It's just not easy finding the right nerve points under all this...
- Fat? - Fur. I was going to say fur.
Who am I to judge a warrior based on his size? Look at me.
Maybe you should look at this again.
I know Master Shifu is trying to inspire me and all...
...but if I didn't know better, I'd say he was trying to get rid of me.
I know he can seem kind of heartless...
...but he wasn't always like that.
there was once a time when Master Shifu actually used to smile.
We're not really supposed to talk about him.
Well, if he's going to stay here, he should know.
Guys, guys, I know about Tai Lung.
He was a student. The first ever to master the thousand scrolls of kung fu.
And then he turned bad, and now he's in jail.
Shifu found him as a cub...
...and he raised him as his son.
And when the boy showed talent in kung fu...
He believed in him. He told him he was destined for greatness.
It was never enough for Tai Lung.
He wanted the Dragon Scroll.
But Oogway saw darkness in his heart and refused.
Outraged, Tai Lung laid waste to the valley.
He tried to take the scroll by force.
And Shifu had to destroy what he had created.
Shifu loved Tai Lung like he had never loved anyone before.
And now he has a chance to make things right.
To train the true Dragon Warrior.
A big fat panda who treats it like a joke.
Wait! My fault! I accidentally tweaked his facial nerve.
And may have also stopped his heart.
Would whoever is making that flapping sound quiet down?!
I could use some good news right now.
I have... It's... It's very bad news.
There is just news. There is no good or bad.
Master, your vision. Your vision was right.
Tai Lung has broken out of prison. He's on his way.
...if you do not believe that the Dragon Warrior can stop him.
The panda? Master, that panda is not the Dragon Warrior.
He wasn't meant to be here! It was an accident.
Yes, I know. You've said that already.
- Twice. - Well, that was no accident, either.
the panda will never fulfill his destiny, nor you yours,
until you let go of the illusion of control.
Yes. Look at this tree, Shifu.
I cannot make it blossom when it suits me,
nor make it bear fruit before its time.
But there are things we can control.
I can control when the fruit will fall.
...where to plant the seed.
That is no illusion, Master.
But no matter what you do
that seed will grow to be a peach tree.
You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung!
If you are willing to guide it.
I need your help, Master.
No, you just need to believe.
Promise me you will believe.
You must continue yourjourney without me.
Yeah, so I'm like, "Fine, you may be a wolf,
you may be the scariest bandit in Haijin Province...
...but you're a lousy tipper."
Really? So how did you get out of there alive?
I mean, I didn't actually say that...
If he could read my mind, he'd be, like, "What?"
Order up! Hope you like it.
- This is really good! - No, come on.
Try my dad's Secret Ingredient Soup. He actually knows the secret ingredient.
What do you mean? This is amazing!
- You're a really good cook. - I wish my mouth was bigger.
Tigress, you've got to try this.
It is said that the Dragon Warrior can survive for months
on nothing but the dew of ginkgo leaf and the energy of the universe.
I guess my body doesn't know it's the Dragon Warrior yet.
I'm gonna need a lot more than dew and universe juice.
- What? - Nothing... Master Shifu.
Never be the Dragon Warrior unless you lose 500 pounds and brush your teeth!
What is that noise you're making? Laughter? I never heard of it!
Work hard, panda, and maybe someday...
...you will have ears like mine.
Ears. It's not working for you? I thought they were pretty good.
Of course it's Shifu. What do you think I'm doing?
Tai Lung has escaped and you're acting like children!
- What? - He is coming for the Dragon Scroll,
and you are the only one who can stop him.
And I was saying you got no sense of humor.
I'm gonna... stop Tai Lung.
What? You're serious? And I have to?
Master Oogway will stop him, like he did before.
Our only hope is the Dragon Warrior.
- The panda? - Yes, the panda!
Master, let us stop Tai Lung. This is what you've trained us for.
No! It is not your destiny to defeat Tai Lung.
You cannot leave! A real warrior never quits.
How am I supposed to beat Tai Lung? I can't even beat you to the stairs.
You will beat him because you are the Dragon Warrior.
You don't believe that. You never believed that.
From the beginning, you've tried to get rid of me.
But now I ask you to trust in your master as I have come to trust in mine.
You're not my master. And I'm not the Dragon Warrior.
Then why didn't you quit?! You knew I wanted you gone, yet you stayed.
I stayed because every time you threw a brick at my head
or said I smelled, it hurt, but it could never hurt more
than it did every day of my life just being me.
I stayed because I thought, if anyone could change me...
...could make me... not me...
The greatest kung fu teacher in all of Ohina!
I can turn you into the Dragon Warrior! And I will!
come on. Tai Lung is on his way here right now.
Even if it takes him a hundred years to get here, how are you...
...gonna change this into the Dragon Warrior?
This is what you trained me for.
We're not trying to stop you.
What? I eat when I'm upset, OK?
I thought you might be Monkey. He hides his almond cookies on the top shelf.
- Look at you. - Yeah, I know, I disgust you.
No, I mean, how did you get up there?
I don't know. I guess that...
I don't know. I was getting a cookie.
Yet you are ten feet off the ground.
And you have done a perfect spilt.
No, this? This is just...
I know you're trying to be all mystical and kung fuey...
...but could you at least tell me where we're going?
...all the way out here...
...we do not wash our pits in the Pool of Sacred Tears.
This is where Oogway unraveled the mysteries...
This is the birthplace...
Do you want to learn kung fu?
When you focus on kung fu,
Perhaps that is my fault.
I cannot train you the way I have trained the Five.
I now see that the way to get through to you...
Oh, great, 'cause I am hungry.
When you have been trained, you may eat.
No sit-ups? No ten-mile hike?
I vowed to train you, and you have been trained. You are free to eat.
I said you are free to eat. Have a dumpling.
Where's the Dragon Warrior?
How do you know you're not looking at her?
I know you're not the Dragon Warrior. None of you!
I heard how he fell out of the sky in a ball of fire.
That he's a warrior unlike anything the world has ever seen.
- Po? - So that is his name. Po.
Finally, a worthy opponent.
Our battle will be legendary!
We've got this. Help her.
But he didn't teach you everything.
You have done well, panda.
The mark of a true hero is humility.
But, yes, you have done...
Guys? Guys?! They're dead!
No, they're breathing. They're asleep? But their eyes are open.
We were no match for his nerve attach.
I thought we could stop him.
He could have killed you.
So you could come back and strike fear into our hearts. But it won't work.
It might. I mean, a little.
You can defeat him, panda!
Are you kidding? If they can't?!
They're five masters. I'm just one me.
But you will have the one thing that no one else does.
You really believe I'm ready?
Behold the Dragon Scroll.
Wait. What happens when I read it?
Legend says you will be able to hear a butterfly's wing beat.
Yes. And see light in the deepest cave.
You will feel the universe in motion around you.
Oan I punch through walls?
- Do a quadruple back flip? - Focus.
- Focus. - Oh, yeah, yeah.
Read it, Po, and fulfill your destiny.
OK. come on, baby. come on now.
I probably loosened it up for you though.
- Here, look. - No, I am forbidden to look upon...
...Oogway was just a crazy old turtle after all.
No. Oogway was wiser than us all.
Oh, come on! Face it, he picked me by accident.
Of course I'm not the Dragon Warrior. Who am I kidding?
But who will stop Tai Lung?
He'll destroy everything and everyone.
Evacuate the valley. You must protect the villagers from Tai Lung's rage.
- What about you, Master? - I will fight him.
- What? - I can hold him off long enough
But, Shifu, he'll kill you.
Then I will finally have paid for my mistake.
Listen to me, all of you.
It is time for you to continue yourjourney without me.
I am very proud to have been your master.
We've got to get them out safely.
come, little one. Let's find your mama.
Viper, gather the southern farmers. Mantis, the north.
Look, it's the Dragon Warrior.
Good to have you back, son.
So for our next shop, it's time to face it...
...the future of noodles is dice-cut vegetables...
Also, I was thinking, maybe this time
we'll have a kitchen you can actually stand up in.
Po, I'm sorry if things didn't work out.
It just wasn't meant to be.
Po, forget everything else.
Your destiny still awaits.
We are noodle folk. Broth runs deep through our veins.
Honestly, sometimes I can't believe I'm actually your son.
...I think it's time I told you something I should have told you...
The secret ingredient of my Secret Ingredient Soup.
come here. The secret ingredient is...
There is no secret ingredient!
Wait, wait. It's just plain old noodle soup?
You don't add some kind of special sauce or something?
Don't have to. To make something special, you just believe it's special.
There is no secret ingredient.
I have come home, Master.
This is no longer your home. And I am no longer your master.
Oh, yes. You have a new favorite.
This battle is between you and me.
So, that is how it's going to be.
I rotted in jail for 20 years because of your weakness!
Obeying your master is not weakness!
You knew I was the Dragon Warrior.
But when Oogway said otherwise, what did you do?
You were not meant to be the Dragon Warrior! That was not my fault!
Who filled my head with dreams?!
Who drove me to train until my bones cracked?!
Who denied me my destiny?!
It was never my decision to make!
All I ever did, I did to make you proud!
Tell me how proud you are, Shifu!
I have... I have always been proud of you.
From the first moment, I've been...
I loved you too much to see what you were becoming...
I don't want your apology.
Dragon Warrior has taken the scroll halfway across Ohina by now.
You will never see that scroll, Tai Lung.
Buddy, I am the Dragon Warrior.
You're a panda. What are you gonna do, big guy? Sit on me?
You want it? come and get it.
The scroll has given him power!
The power of the Dragon Scroll is mine!
It's OK. I didn't get it the first time, either.
There is no secret ingredient.
You're bluffing. You're bluffing. Shifu didn't teach you that.
I figured it out. Skadoosh.
That's my boy! That big lovely kung fu warrior is my son!
No, Master, I didn't die. I defeated Tai Lung.
Wow. It is as Oogway foretold.
You are the Dragon Warrior.
You have brought peace...
No! Master! No, no, no, don't die, Shifu, please!
I'm not dying, you idiot!
...I am simply at peace. Finally.
So, I should stop talking?
Want to get something to eat?
Everybody is kung fu fighting

Although the future is a little bit frightening
It's the book of your life that you're writing
Everybody is kung fu fighting
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
It's the book of your life that you're writing
Why is that so hard to see?
Maybe it's just because You keep on looking at me
The journey's a lonely one So much more than we know
But sometimes you've got to go And be your own hero
Everybody is kung fu fighting
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
It's the book of your life that you're writing
You're a diamond in the rough A brilliant ball of clay
You could be a work of art If you just go all the way
Now what would it take to break? I believe that you can bend
Not only do you have to fight But you have got to win
'Oause everybody is kung fu fighting
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
It's the book of your life that you're writing
You're a diamond in the rough A brilliant ball of clay
You could be a work of art If you just go all the way
