DreamWorks Animation has recently released a brand new "Kung Fu Panda 3" clip that parodies the iconic 'Star Wars' villain, Darth Vader. The third installment of the animated franchise is expected to open in cinemas on January 29.
The latest "Kung Fu Panda 3" video titled as "A Father Rises" nudges a bit of fun at the "Star Wars" franchise. As per Comic Book Resources the short clip opens with a dark screen backed with a familiar dark breathing who later on declares the iconic line of the Sith Lord: "I am your father". It then reveals Po and his out-of-shape father at the top of a set of stairs that the latter had no idea he could climb.
The upcoming third installment of "Kung Fu Panda" will see Po and his long lost father reunite again. According to Comic Book, the duo then journeys to a secret panda paradise to meet many entertaining new panda characters. But when the supernatural villain Kai begins to scrape over China defeating all Kung Fu masters, Po is forced to do the endurable -train his fellow villagers to become the supreme band of Kung Fu Pandas.
Jack Black returns as the voice of Po, alongside Rebel Wilson and Dustin Hoffman who will reprise their roles as Mei Mei and Master Shifu respectively.
