If your family enjoyed Kung Fu Panda, then they are sure to enjoy Kung Fu Rabbit! He is a chef who really prefers to stay in the kitchen, where he is most comfortable. Shifu, a martial arts master, gives Fu a tablet to give to Shifu’s daughter Penny. Shifu knows that his time on earth is about to come to an end, and the tablet will prove Penny’s inheritance, so Fu agrees to take it to her. While Fu is on his way to the martial arts academy to give the tablet to Penny, he is ambushed by thieves and unbelievably, Penny rescues him! Penny and Fu team up (along with her sidekick Biggie) and they make their way to the academy, only to find out that it has been taken over by the evil Slash, Shifu’s nemesis. (This is where you say, “Oh no…not the evil Slash!)
Fu has been given some super duper Kung Fu powers, but he has to learn to believe in himself to use those powers. But the team of Fu and Penny take on the evil Slash (Oh no…not the evil Slash!) and his minions to take back the academy, and Fu reveals his super duper Kung Fu powers to their fullest. He takes Slash down! (Who, ironically, is a Panda character).
This story is one with themes of believing in oneself and showing loyalty. The special effects are especially good. There’s a lot of action, and there’s some violence, so you may not want to show it to a very small child if they tend to be afraid of ‘scary’ scenes.
