Kung Fu Panda : Bonnes Fêtes

After the success of Kung Fu Panda, Dreamworks decided to test if this new animated work could offer more before making the decision to turn it into a saga. Being a medium-length film, it obviously offers little in terms of length. Even so, the truth is that the characters automatically won the public's affection after the premiere of the first film. This medium-length film serves to see that Po has a good heart despite his ineptitude. What this Christmas special raises is something that people often face. It is the question about duty and responsibilities in conflict with love for family and loved ones. Po now has a responsibility as The Dragon Warrior, but that clashes when he has to decide between fulfilling that role or spending time with his father during the holidays. What this production proposes is something realistic because many times it happens that a person has to fulfill his responsibilities at work and try to balance that with the time he must spend with his family. It is something that has been seen in other films, but it is a very reflective message for adults who must carry the weight of a work responsibility or a family tradition at a time where they must choose between that and being with those they love. Kung Fu Panda Holiday manages to convey that message and it is a good thing for children who will grow up and have to deal with these types of situations. In that aspect, Kung Fu Panda Holiday manages to offer something else that made us want to know more about this universe through its subsequent installments. My final rating for this medium-length film is an 8/10.
