About Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda follows Po from noodle-shop waiter to Dragon Warrior in film order across four movies. The original arrived in 2008, the second in 2011 as the darker Shen chapter, the third in 2016 introducing the panda village, and the fourth in March 2024 with Po choosing a successor.
Three series fill the gaps: Legends of Awesomeness between the first two films, The Paws of Destiny after the third, and The Dragon Knight after the fourth. Shorts like Secrets of the Furious Five slot anywhere after the first film as origin extras.
Good to know
Watch the four films in release order, since each builds on Po's growth and the villain of the last. The series are optional and made for younger viewers, with Dragon Knight the most connected to the films. Story order matches release order throughout, so no second list is needed, and no fifth film has been dated yet.
