Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight

"Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight" (S01, 11 eps, 24-mins, Netflix) is a disappointing sequel series to KFP: Legends of Awesomeness (2011-16). First, you'd think Jack Black voicing Po would be great, but I really prefer Mick Wingert who voiced Po in Legends and other KFP series and video games. In fact, Jack Black is an EP for this series and he seems to have banished Mick and the others that voiced the Furious Five. The only carryover character is Po's "father" Mr Ping still voiced by the same guy. Anyway, there's new villainess "Veruca" the weasel who's voiced with an annoying Cockney accent so you despise her even more. Though the series lacks supporting characters - only Luthera really, and lacks the "heart" of Legends, the animation is still excellent, and the story is pretty decent with a good hook for its sophomore season as Po continues his evolution from Dragon Warrior and Dragon Master to Dragon Knight.

This series is terrible. The way it's told is so bad i could not enjoy watching it And the animation extremely cheap and look awful.

Only two of the characters from the movies was in the series (Poe and his dad).

I really hope this is not the future of Kung Fu Panda.

Tired of seeing a dragon master as weak and helpless We want him as a proper teacher not a cry baby Give him cool chi powers of oogway Story is good except weak po but too long Poor animstions 2008 movie is better No budget for fight choreography?

Show progresses slowly. Animation is good for a DreamWorks TV show and voices original actors such as Jack black. Story is similar to Avengers: Infinity War. Po was tasked to get the Gaunlet but two bad guys attempt to steal it first. Their plans backfire but Po accidently let them get away with the town surrounding the gaunlet being destroyed, leaving people injured. Po is then not loved anymore and no one is his fan anymore. The emperor of China even revokes Po's title of Dragon Master. Po meets an English Knight who is tasked to retrieve the gaunlet to save England. Po sees this as an opportunity to team up with the knight to save the gaundlet in order to reclaim his title for Dragon master and to be loved again. The story is too simple however and feels as if it drags on. The episode feels like it could be 11 minutes instead of 22. Plot is good but the pacing of the plot is too slow. Acting is good animation is good directing is good. For some reason Po is seen as gullible and dull here but in the movies he was stronger and had developed to be a true master. I wonder why he had been downgraded in this show. The movies had already been a great ending for the franchise as Po had fully developed and became a perfect person. Otherwise, it is worth watching. 7/10.

Story progresses so slow that if you miss several of the middle episodes still it will create no impact on the storyline. PO is so strong in movies and here he's shown very weak and immature. Kids will definitely love it but as a kung fu panda trilogy fan I didn't liked it at all.
