Terrible 'lesson' for children watching it


The message for children was the worse of all; don't worry about training hard for your abilities, if you want something all you need is to be the chosen one or else you are doomed, and that's all you need...

This could've been as good as "Wall-E" or "Horton hears a who", instead there are indeed a lot of wrong lessons here specially for kids that i find very worrying and baffling..i naively believed that panda would make peace with his enemy, not only was obvious but clearly needed. But Panda showed no mercy, instead he reacted with a burst of violent blind anger. For me this is an outrage.. any real martial arts fighter would have acted mercefull in that situation, its the basis of its culture, or else it wouldn't be called an art, therefore a way to develop himself as a conscious human (panda) being.
Most unsettling for me is to think of the historical past of the culture that made this film and chose this ending... but i prefer you to think by yourself.

Maybe it's late to reply to such an old post but I couldn't resist:

You've got the wrong message out of this.
And judging by your comments you shouldn't teach your own kids anything.
