action
In the Chinese province, the old kung fu master Shifu hands his student Jackie a letter to take to his daughter Peony. She joined a circus three years ago because she wanted to become an acrobat instead of learning martial arts as her father intended .
In the letter, Shifu asks his daughter to come to him because of his age so that they can jointly decide who should lead his tiger martial arts academy in the future. Shortly afterwards, the master is attacked by the evil Slash and his fighters. The deceitful and vain Slash is a white bear who has his eyes and ears painted black to make him look like a panda bear . Shifu is able to fend off the attackers and escape, but his hand was wounded with a deadly poison.
The next morning the clumsy baker Tutu gets ready to bring his freshly baked filled pancakes to the market. At his front door he stumbles over Shifu, who is lying on the ground, and takes him into his apartment. Shortly before his death, the dying master magically transmits his kung fu powers to Tutu and hands him a metal plaque, which he is supposed to give to his daughter Peony at the Beijing Tiger Martial Arts Academy.
On his way to Beijing he runs into two bandits in the woods who are trying to ambush him. Coincidentally, Peony and Jackie are also on the way here, who put the attackers to flight and save him. When Peony mentions her name, Tutu misunderstands him as a pony and continues on his way. When Tutu arrives at the academy, he is mistaken for the new kitchen helper. Slash and his people have now taken over the academy.
Since the metal plaque is an important symbol of the kung fu master and his offices, Slash claims that the old master gave it to him. Since Tutu is made aware of how dangerous the new directors of the academy are and he has already attracted negative attention from questions about Peony, he retains his role as a kitchen assistant for the time being.
When doubts arose as to whether Master Shifu, as the owner of the board, had chosen Slash as his rightful successor, Slash simply created a new board, which he presented at a kung fu tournament. There he also calls on every doubter to prove himself in the fight against him. A turtle and two tigers compete against him. After everyone has lost to Slash, he seems to be the new Kung Fu master. But suddenly Peony appears and shortly afterwards Tutu, who shows the real table of the old master. Tutu can now call up the kung fu powers he has been given and defeat Slash. Finally, he also fulfills the promise he made to the old master and hands the tablet to his daughter.

Reviews
"Martial arts animation film in the style of" Kung Fu Panda " prepared with CGI effects . The successful Chinese comedy is only accessible to those who can tolerate a lot of fuss in addition to the action. "
“The Kung Fu fairy tale is told slowly, offers numerous relieving moments until the happy ending and has a clear and funny main character in Tutu, who, according to the majority of the FSF examination committee, helps younger children to cope with the fight scenes. The minority voted for the main evening program [corresponds to an age rating of 12 years and over] because the gun presence and the number of fights were too high for a child audience. "
