In ancient China, in the Peaceful Valley, there was a gathering of great martial arts masters. Since he was a child, Po the panda had worshipped the five legendary martial law guardians - Tiger, Snake, Crane, Monkey, and Mantis. He dreamt every day of becoming the Emperor of Kung Fu. But not only was Po just a young waiter at a small noodle shop, he was also overweight, clumsy, and a big lazybones. Apart from being full of passion for kung fu and daydreaming, he mostly just got by at the noodle shop, catching lice.
