is an animated web series produced by DreamWorks Animation Television and distributed by Amazon Prime Video. It follows the adventures of four panda children who gain magical chi powers and receive special kung fu training from Po.
The show's first season released on November 16, 2018. The second part of the season released on July 5, 2019.
Development for the series started in September 2015, and then production officially began in February 2017. During the fifteen months of development, executive producer Elliott Owen commented that they "spent a lot of time figuring out how to make it look as good as possible." The goal was to have the series be as close to its film counterparts while keeping within a TV budget and a limited time frame. With this in mind, the team used various animation tools and techniques that would allow high-quality rendering with their limits on budget and time. Such tools include Maya, V-Ray, Mari, Nuke, and Houdini, with some custom DreamWorks tools such as Shot-Light Tool, FX Scene Builder, Character and Prop Auto-Rigger, and Cache Tool.
Likewise to animating, the show producers also wanted the story and scenes to match the quality of the franchise's feature films. Executive producer and showrunner Mitch Watson says that "it boils down to how good we all wanted it to look—because we weren't going to settle for anything that looked like it was less than the feature." He also mentions that during the development process, each portion of the show would get multiple passes after it was out of script and storyboards. He and his co-executive producers "gave each other the option that we would cut out anything that we didn't like ... And then we'd rewrite and re-board it. ... We didn't want to settle."
The series was first discussed in November 2017 by producer Mitch Watson while guest-starring on entertainment podcast The Nightfly with Dave Juskow. When asked about new shows, Watson mentioned "a new version of Kung Fu Panda," one that is "more like the films" and "serialized," also noting that it will be releasing on Amazon. He also indirectly revealed Po's voice being done by Mick Wingert.
On April 12, 2018, the series was officially announced for Amazon's upcoming programming for 2018, revealing its title, plot synopsis, and planned release period. On May 23, 2018, it was announced that Leo Birenberg is composing the score for the series.
The show's first season was released on Amazon Prime Video on November 16, 2018 and was made available in over 200 territories worldwide. The second part of the season released on July 5, 2019. The first half of season 2 is yet to be announced by Amazon.
•This series marks the first time a DreamWorks Animation original series will be available to Amazon Prime Video customers worldwide. It will also be the second series in DreamWorks' series history to be released on Amazon (rather than Netflix), coming after The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle.
•Lane Lueras, one of the producers of the series, has also served as director of some episodes in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness.
•Dried salty plums are seen several times throughout the show. They are a delicacy in China and go by the name "huamei" (traditional Chinese: 話梅?; simplified Chinese: 话梅; pinyin: huàméi). It's known for having a strong and distinctive flavor, thereby leading to most saying it is an acquired taste. The show writers bought several bags of these plums to try, and most of them remained in the writers' room, unopened.
•The title "Paws of Destiny" could be a reference to Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, a 2006 film featuring Jack Black.[source?]
