Talk:Kung Fu Panda

Broken Link?

I'm unable to access the second citation linked to the [2008 Toonzone reference]. It may be a connection issue on my end, but it's the oldest retrieved source on the article, so it may be a broken link. This is my first Wiki edit, so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do other than bring it to your attention.--ClassyIam (talk) 04:07, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Mention of similar films?

Should the article take note of at least a couple of similar films that have capitalized on the series? Chop Kick Panda is a rather blatant mockbuster, while Legend of a Rabbit is more a Chinese answer to the series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.81.95 (talk) 21:27, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

I think it would be interesting to have such information on this page. There was another film mentioned some time ago on the Kung Fu Panda page, but it got removed:

"An unauthorized direct-to-video sequel to the film was released in China in August 2008, titled Kungfu Master aka Wong Fei Hung vs Kungfu Panda (黃飛鴻大戰功夫熊貓)."

Contradiction?

The line "seems to contradict the events of Secret of the furious five" should be deleted. I've seen both shorts, Secrets of the Scroll and Secrets of the furious five, and i don't think that the first contradicts the events of the latter in any way. Secrets of the furious five shows how each of the five masters came to be masters, after been discovered by either Oogway, Shifu or any other character, but NEVER SHOWS THE FIVE OF THEM ACTUALLY GETTING TOGHETER FOR THE FIRST TIME. That is exclusively shown in Secrets of the croll, as an adult tigress gathers (by "mistake") the remaining four of the furious five to fight togheter for the first time against a common enemy and then namimg themselves "The Furious Five". I'll delete that line, if anyone has doubts, please, watch the two shorts first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drumerwritter (talk • contribs) 03:27, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

• Kung Fu Panda (franchise) → Kung Fu Panda
• Kung Fu Panda → Kung Fu Panda (film)

– With three films, two TV series and several video games and other media (see Kung Fu Panda (franchise), I think it's safe to say that the WP:PTOPIC is the franchise. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 12:38, 18 December 2018 (UTC)--Relisted. –Ammarpad (talk) 04:35, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

• Comment I have some concerns about the move, yet I am neither supporting nor opposing it for now. User:Soetermans can you clarify with evidence what word does the reliable mainstream media use to refer to the Franchise and the Film 1. If they always refer to the franchise with the word franchise (or a similar synonym) then the status quo should be maintained. Just saying I think it's safe to say that... is no evidence, but only your personal opinion. thanks. --DBigXrayᗙ 18:56, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Sorry @DBigXray:, I got your ping a couple of days ago and it slipped my mind. I think @Netoholic: said it best: WP:NCFILM#Media franchise: When the content presented in a film or film series spans other media formats such as radio, TV, video game, or print, then an associated overview page (an article describing and summarizing the items of the franchise) should usually occupy the primary article title. Kung Fu Panda (franchise) lists:
    • three main films
    • two television series
    • five short films (four of which have articles)
    • five video games
    • an arena show
    • an attraction
  • I think our own guidelines should be sufficient. Otherwise Dreamworks' website entry dreamworks.com/kungfupanda is about the franchise, not about the film, but that's a primary source. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 12:44, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
• Support per WP:BROADCONCEPT and WP:NCFILM#Media franchise suggestion that such should occupy the primary title. -- Netoholic @ 21:01, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose. I think the first film is still the primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:20, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose.--Huang-Charlie (talk) 04:06, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
  • That's WP:JUSTAVOTE, @Huang-Charlie:. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 12:44, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose, too soon for a broad concept, just like The Terminator, Tangled and Ghostbusters. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 23:27, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Hi @Tbhotch:, thanks for your input. What do you think of WP:NCFILM#Media franchise? soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 10:21, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

What I mentioned above, it is not necessarily required that franchises take the primary spot, if we consider Ghostbusters (franchise) is more populated that KFP's, this switch is unneeded at the moment. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 19:04, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

• Kung Fu Panda (franchise) → Kung Fu Panda
• Kung Fu Panda → Kung Fu Panda (film)

– After three films, five short films and two television series, I don't think the first film is the primary topic, but the franchise as whole. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 17:47, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
