These positive messages in KUNG FU PANDA 3 keep it from becoming totally abhorrent, but the movie’s false religion prevents it from being acceptable family entertainment. Offsetting this are some positive moral, redemptive elements. Thus, several false religious ideas become a major part of the whole movie. Sadly, it also seems to have a lot more references to false, Eastern religion throughout the whole movie. KUNG FU PANDA 3 is not quite as fun and entertaining as the first two movies. So, the question becomes, what will Po do when he finds out? He promises to reveal the panda secret to ch’i energy to help Po defeat a villain from the spirit world. Meanwhile, Po’s long-lost panda father suddenly shows up. Sure enough, his first class turns out to be a total disaster. However, even though he’s the Dragon Warrior, Po feels completely inadequate to be a teacher. But he could be shaped into the Dragon Warrior - accidental property.Īccording to Aristotle, there is always a reason for everything that happens. Your experiences are designed to shape you, define you and, hopefully, grow you into the mightiest you possible.KUNG FU PANDA 3 opens with Po’s master telling him that Po has learned everything he can from him, and must now become the teacher for all the other students. For example, a chair can be made of wood or metal, but this is accidental to its being a chair: that is, it is still a chair regardless of the material from which it is made. To put this in technical terms, an accident is a property which has no necessary connection to the essence of the thing being described. In both these dialogs Oogway presents his philosophy that is similar to what Aristotle said:Īristotle made a distinction between the essential and accidental properties of a thing. Shifu: But how? How? I need your help, master! Oogway: Maybe it can, if you are willing to guide it, to nurture it. Shifu: But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung! You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach. But no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. I can control where to plant the seed! That is no illusion, Master! Shifu: But there are things we can control.


I cannot make it blossom when it suits me, nor make it bear fruit before its time. Oogway: My friend, the panda will never fulfill his destiny, nor you yours, until you let go of the illusion of control.

To understand Oogway's philosophy we need to consider another moment from the movie when he talks to Shifu: Oogway: Well, that was no accident either.Īs Oogway truly believed in this "accident" he sticks with his decision. Shifu: The panda? Master, that panda is not the Dragon Warrior.

As Oogway later tells Shifu there are no accidents so appearance of Po must be planed/influenced by some other forces. Just when Oogway was choosing the Dragon Warrior, he accidentally pointed at Po (instead of Tigress?).

Po appeared in right place at the right moment.
