Boy oh boy cant tell you how much entertained I am throughout the entire show. After Puss Last wish honestly I was hoping there is a bit of influence from the team's creatives on this show. Although maybe there wasnt any due to different production line, but who cares, Kung Fu Panda 4 is great. And kudos to everywhere who is involved with the show. Lets break it down. Spoilers ahead. The Story Story is pretty linear and predictable at this rate. Just that the exciting part is wondering who will be appearing and what involvement they have. There is a story twist then again, its pretty linear. However, thats not the bad thing. Because I come into Kung fu panda wasnt expecting much of a detective story, backstabber and what not. I come into Kung Fu Panda hoping for some action. And there is tons of it. Every moment doesnt felt draggy, there is a good narration. Story moral that is presented between characters. And thats good for me. The Tai Lung return is abit of giveaway due to the trailer and lot of analysis at Tai Lung Design that resembles the Cameleon. but hey, I am entertained throughout the movie. The movie throws jab at itslf too, they acknowledge the Shifu looks more like a squirrel more than a red panda. Po the obvious not Dragon Warrior. Po being Po himself. Which brings to... The Characters There is a lot more new character and side characters in this one. Which is great. The fish in the SeaGull is an interesting duo. The armadillo is Great. But alll That aside. LETS talk... Those That ReTURNED Tai Lung's come back is more like a huge marketing tactic that really sparks alot of attention from KFP fans. I know I am. And while he didnt really get the redemption he needs or as I hoped. He does gets the right amount of closure and we learnt that Tai Lung kinda... Accepted fate. Tho I am surprised Shen and Kai is rather Quiet throughout the whole thing. I am hoping they will have some reaction or short quirky remarks. Jabs, at Po. Even a little. Its like they died and they got brain washed to accept their death or something. When they walked towards the Portal. I am like. "Wait, you not gonna say anything?" We do get the Flaming Boar (?) dialog who I am guessing is a reflection of Po's enthusiasm earlier, but its just someone whom I will brush aside. The furious five did appear, in a way that I wasnt expecting them to appear in the last sequence. They dont have dialog. Totally understandble, budget issue probably. And there is no Ti Po shipping going on like KFP 3. Which is fine I guess. I donno. I am kinda... Old to ship anything at this point. The Action And there is alot of kung fu in this one. Alot more than usual, not that I am gonna count minutes by minutes. The pacing is great, the action is Great. There is more involvement on the environment now like jumping on a kite, the entire tavern swinging left and right. The way they moves are so fluid as well. The animation really gives it the final touch. The Graphics or Visual and Production Value And most importantly, and The most obvious huge improvement is the graphics and landscape. The wide shots / establishing shots are waay more packed with details. The city scape looks great, the glittering, the props, the crowd designs, and artworks. Some of the mountain valley scenes are straight out of painting. There is a lot more character models in this one, showcasing alot of additional side characters. Some how i recognize some character model reuse but hey, they did a great job already, nothing to poke at.

I would like to throw in another form of abuse haters can do.
Gaslighting:
This is a long term silent abuse that is dangerous. When it happened, it usually make the victims think they are going crazy, but they are actually fine. Read more for self awareness. :D
Here is another extra info. My previous company recently responded to the negatives feedback. You will have to judge for yourself based on what's shown. :B
Peace out. :D
