## Synopsis

Kung Fu Panda is a 2008 American animated martial arts comedy film directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne, and written by Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, from a story by Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris. Produced by DreamWorks Animation, it is the first installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise and stars Jack Black as the voice of the titular character. The film also stars an ensemble voice cast including Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Ian McShane, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Randall Duk Kim, James Hong, Dan Fogler, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Jackie Chan. Set in an ancient China populated by anthropomorphic animals, the film follows Po, a bumbling giant panda and kung fu enthusiast living in the Valley of Peace who is unwittingly named the "Dragon Warrior", a prophesied hero worthy of reading a scroll intended to grant its reader limitless power, when the savage snow leopard Tai Lung is foretold to escape imprisonment and attack the Valley.
