Jack Black is back as Po tries to master his inner spiritual leader training while also trying to find his next protege.  One thing about this newest addition, it shows audiences to not underestimate the most unlikely candidate.  It’s a message that is refreshing to see especially in this world.

In addition to Black, the film also brings back Dustin Hoffman who reprises his role as Shifu and brings new voices including Viola Davis as The Chameleon and Awakafina who is not new to the DreamWorks world as she was also in Migration which came out just a few months ago.  All of the voices bring their unique flair to the already familiar Kung Fu Panda family.

At just an hour and 34 minutes runtime, Kung Fu Panda will have you going on yet another Asian adventure where peace is definitely a virtue.  One thing about this fourth film, the ending does leave a few questions as to whether or not this is this end.  On one side, it does tie up loose edges where one could say this is the end, but also it leaves hope for a future if not for Po at least in his young Zhen protege.  All we can do is wait and see.

For now, Kung Fu Panda 4 came out in theaters March 8th and is currently playing in one near you.
