Kung Fu Panda
A clumsy but passionate panda named Po unexpectedly becomes the chosen "Dragon Warrior" destined to protect the Valley of Peace, but must prove he can master kung fu and defeat the vengeful Tai Lung before he unleashes chaos with the powerful Dragon Scroll.
“Prepare for awesomeness.”
Synopsis
Po is chosen as the Dragon Warrior by prophecy, though he is doubted by everyone. A clumsy panda with no martial arts training, he is thrust into the world of kung fu when a deadly enemy threatens the Valley of Peace. With the reluctant guidance of Master Shifu and the Furious Five, Po must learn to embrace his true self to unlock a power that cannot be found in any scroll.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 37
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office
2008 · Box office
💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
