It's ok but not as good as Legends of Awesomeness
6 August 2022
"Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight" (S01, 11 eps, 24-mins, Netflix) is a disappointing sequel series to KFP: Legends of Awesomeness (2011-16). First, you'd think Jack Black voicing Po would be great, but I really prefer Mick Wingert who voiced Po in Legends and other KFP series and video games. In fact, Jack Black is an EP for this series and he seems to have banished Mick and the others that voiced the Furious Five. The only carryover character is Po's "father" Mr Ping still voiced by the same guy. Anyway, there's new villainess "Veruca" the weasel who's voiced with an annoying Cockney accent so you despise her even more. Though the series lacks supporting characters - only Luthera really, and lacks the "heart" of Legends, the animation is still excellent, and the story is pretty decent with a good hook for its sophomore season as Po continues his evolution from Dragon Warrior and Dragon Master to Dragon Knight.
