Comment from Fuminori Komatsu (Po)
The highlight of the film is the action! It is the best part of a kung fu film. When I do postrecording, I try to move as much as possible, but Po moves so fast... I always end up sweating. (laugh) It's a story about justice defeating evil, but it's a fascinating work that gives you something more than just that. Then there is Poe's facial expressions and movements! When he is slack-jawed, there are many parts that link to my true self, so please pay attention to those characters and scenes.

＜Episode 1 Story
While Po and his friends are training for a surprise attack, Tiger falls seriously ill with river fever. He is told that if he does not drink the Sun Orchid tea in the Valley of the Scorpions by sunset, he will be unable to use kung fu. The scorpion was once a doctor in the Valley of Peace, but a hypnotic drug turns him evil, and he plans to conquer the valley, but is banished by Master Oogway... (2010, USA)
