DreamWorks’ Kung Fu Panda 4 and World Wildlife Fund Team Up to Protect Wildlife

If you protect Kung Fu Panda’s Po and his home, you’re protecting so much more for people and nature.

March 22, 2024

 

In celebration of the new chapter in DreamWorks Animation’s beloved action-comedy franchise Kung Fu Panda 4, the World Wildlife Fund and DreamWorks teamed up to raise awareness about the plight of the real wildlife depicted in the film.  

 

“DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 4 provided us with such a rich opportunity to celebrate the animal kingdom, and we and our film’s star, Jack Black, were thrilled to partner with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in their ongoing mission to protect the wild animals and wild places of the world. The campaign is not only joyful and fun, but it encourages people—young people in particular—to be heroes in their own lives, reminding them, and us, of the power we all have to make a difference. We’re immensely proud of this campaign, and we’re grateful to the WWF for allowing us to join their party, and for being such spectacular partners in the process.”  

— Jill Brody, EVP, Global Partnership Marketing at Universal Pictures

Kung Fu Panda 4 tells the story of a giant panda Po (Jack Black), the world’s most unlikely kung fu master, who has been tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Po is joined by Master Shifu, a red panda (Dustin Hoffman), Tai Lung, a snow leopard (Ian McShane) and Zhen, a corsac fox (Awkwafina) in this beloved action-comedy franchise.  

Just as Po takes on the role of Spiritual Leader in the film, real-life animals like giant pandas, snow leopards, and more contribute to the health of their natural ecosystems. In fact, all organisms play a valuable role in keeping their native ecosystems balanced and thriving. When we protect one species, we’re helping to protect them all for the benefit of people and nature.
