Okay, here is the English plot summary for Kung Fu Panda 4 (often referred to as Kung Fu Panda 2 internationally, though it's technically the sequel):
English Plot Summary:
The story picks up a year after the events of the first film. Po, now a fully fledged kung fu master and the Dragon Warrior, is living the high life in the Jade Palace, enjoying his status and popularity. However, he starts to feel restless and doubts his place in the kung fu world. He worries that he doesn't truly belong there and fears he might have taken the easy path to becoming a hero.
Po's mentor, Shifu, senses his unease and decides to challenge Po by sending him on a quest to retrieve the lost Dragon Scroll. This legendary scroll is said to contain the secret to the ultimate kung fu power. Shifu tells Po that the scroll is hidden within the treacherous and mysterious Valley of the Golden Monkeys.
Po reluctantly embarks on this journey, accompanied by his best friend, the clumsy but loyal Monkey King, Kai. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles and meet a new character named Jack Black as the Ant King, who is also searching for the Dragon Scroll for his own nefarious purposes.
During their quest, Po learns about a legendary kung fu master named Master Li, Shifu's former student and the true master of the Dragon Scroll. They travel to ancient China to find Master Li, who reveals a profound truth: the true meaning of kung fu lies not in mastering others, but in mastering oneself. He teaches Po the concept of the "inner scroll," a metaphor for unlocking one's own potential and heart.
Realizing he must confront his own doubts and fears to become a true hero, Po returns to the Valley of the Golden Monkeys. There, he faces the final challenge: not just retrieving the physical scroll, but also confronting his deepest insecurities and proving his worth. He must learn to believe in himself and understand that his unique qualities, not just his training, make him special.
In the climactic battle, Po overcomes his self-doubt and uses the wisdom he's learned to defeat Jack Black and his army of ants, protecting the Valley and the balance of the world. He returns the Dragon Scroll to Shifu, not as a symbol of power, but as a reminder of the journey within.
The film concludes with Po embracing his identity as the Dragon Warrior, finally feeling at home in the kung fu world, and understanding that being yourself is the greatest strength of all.
