Kung Fu Panda 3: the funniest father-son reunion ever
After watching the teaser of animated Hollywood film Kung Fu Panda 3, you'll know who the lead character, Dragon Warrior Po, takes after - his father. Not the Mr Ping, the goose who raised him, but his real father.
The teaser starts with a quick look at the Furious Five (Tigress, Mantis, Monkey, Viper and Crane) training with Po under the guidance of Master Shifu. However, his 'greatest challenge' appears in the form of Li Shen, another panda who, it seems, have broken Po's dumpling eating record.
When Li Shen reveals that he looking for his son, who he lost 'many years ago', Po says, "I lost my father."
A tense silence follows as the valley watches in anticipation.
Then Li says, "Good Luck," and Po replies, "You too. I hope you find your son." To which Li says, "I hope you find your father," and leaves.
FACE-PALM
It's clear to everyone else that Li Shen is Po's dad. It's equally clear that he's about as slow on the uptake as his son. The third film follows Po as he returns to his birthplace - a village of pandas - where he struggles to be accepted and then has to train his fellow pandas as fighters to defeat an evil spirit named Kai.
Meanwhile, on social media platforms, the viewing public has also been introduced to Po's betrothed Mei Mei. (Also Read - First Look: Meet Po's Fiancee Mei Mei)
