Po is a rather large panda who’s always dreamed of being a Kung-Fu champion. He knows this is unlikely to happen as he works in his father’s (a goose!) noodle shop. When he hears that that a new dragon warrior is going to be chosen, Po goes along to the Jade Palace to watch the event. He gets there late and finds the gates closed so he straps some firecrackers to his leg and flies over the gate, landing badly.
