For any future executive, the ultimate goal is to reach Oogway’s state of mind. He is also characterized as a firm decision maker and trusted his intuition. Oogway is represented as a good listener and was able to calmly respond back to Shifu’s concerns. On the contrary, Grand Master Oogway showed, on all occasions, his ability to remain calm, manage his emotions and did not show any sign of irritation in stressful situations. They lost control of their emotions and clearly regretted that later. Both Master Shifu and Tigress fell into the trap of their amygdala. The Emotional Intelligence (EI) topic is very obvious in this movie. This movie, although a cartoon, has a clear hierarchical chart very identical to an organization… Grand Master Oogway had mentioned to Shifu twice that “there are no accidents” as he believed that nothing happens by coincidence.

He insisted on keeping Po’s nomination and remained calm throughout the movie despite Master Shifu’s constant requests to nominate Tigress. Oogway was always calm in the toughest situations because of his ability to see the future. She refused to comply to that decision and lost her fight, along with her team, against Tai Lung. Tigress was bitter and did not show any respect towards Po despite the respect gained by the other four later in the movie. She did not believe in Po and continued to intimidate him on every possible occasion. Tigress is presented as courageous, daring, and willing to do anything to save the day. She is Master Shifu’s favorite and was supposed to be nominated as the Dragon Warrior. Tigress is the leader of the Furious Five and one of the two few female characters in the movie (Viper is the second one). Shifu then discovered that Po was motivated by food and included dumplings as rewards during his training. After a great scene under the Peach Tree with Master Oogway, Master Shifu realizes that Po was his only hope to defeat the villain leopard. Master Shifu humiliated Po constantly by giving him impossible training with hopes that he would quit. Shifu was counting on Tigress (one of his trainees) to be nominated instead. He continuously rejected to train Po despite his nomination by Grand Master Oogway as the Dragon Warrior. Master Shifu is a Kung Fu Master and the Furious Five's trainer. Po is an example of a determined character as he explored his potential and used his strength to defeat the enemy. He showed constant sense of humor, loved food and was comfortable in his own skin. Po was represented as a kind, gentle and a non-violent character.

He thought he was incapable of becoming a warrior due to his weight, and also since historically Kung Fu never had a panda hero. Po had low self esteem and did not believe in himself. He was keen to satisfy his father despite of dreaming to become a Kung Fu fighter. Po admired the Furious Five and wanted to be a Kung Fu hero. This is where Po, astonishingly, made his way to be the chosen warrior.Īfter a failed attempt from the Furious Five, Po, under the training of Master Shifu, defeated Tai Lung and gained the respect of the Furious Five. Grand Master Oogway had a vision that the evil leopard Tai Lung will escape prison and will threaten the inhabitants of the Valley. Unfortunately, Po was unable to follow his dreams as he was helping his father in a noodle restaurant. He idolized the Furious Five and dreamt about becoming a Kung Fu legend. Po is an active yet clumsy panda in the Valley of Peace.
