Plot

A giant panda named Pancada (meaning 'punch' or 'beatdown' in Portuguese) works at a boxing/wrestling club called the 'Bear Bar Box'. He has dreams of one day becoming a professional dancer, and is in love with a waitress named Beth. His boss, a polar bear named Polaris, is scheduled to fight a large bear named Freak Teddy. Pancada visits his dancing instructor, Master Xin, who teaches him about loyalty. The following day, Polaris has found a black costume, and tells Pancada to wash it for him. The costume shrinks in the wash, resulting in Polaris having the appearance of a panda bear. As Polaris begins the fight with Freak Teddy, Pancada goes to a dance competition, wherein he ends up winning.
Polaris wins the match against Freak Teddy, and because of his panda-like appearance, the club's patrons mistakenly congratulate Pancada for being a powerful fighter. Pancada, having won the dance competition, erroneously believes that he is being congratulated for his dancing skills. Before Polaris leaves for a vacation, Pancada himself enters the ring to fight Freak Teddy and loses. Polaris informs Pancada that he had made a bet that Pancada would lose the fight, and therefore, he becomes wealthy. After Polaris heads off for the icy mountains, Pancada transforms the boxing club into a dance club.
Why It Sucks
Little Panda Fighter Budget 2018
- Its main criticism is that it's a rip-off of Kung Fu Panda, to the point where in the cover art, Pancada does the same Kung Fu pose that Po does in the cover art for Kung Fu Panda. The movie also rips off characters from Yogi BearBTSW and Care Bears.
- Extremely lazy and dreadful 3D CGI animation.
- The lip syncing is way off.
- Bad editing.
- Stolen pictures.
- Very unlikable characters.
- Horrible soundtrack.
- Misleading title: For one thing, Pancada, the 'little' panda is actually a full grown adult panda, and he doesn't even fight until the last 5 minutes of the movie.
- Despite Pancada being the main character, he barely does anything in the film.
- The English dub is pretty awkward. All of the characters fluctuate between speaking quickly and slowly at certain times that it's hard to understand what they're saying. This is mainly due to the fact that the film was dubbed, so the actors had to do their best to match what the characters are saying.
- The movie is full of padding to increase the run time. For example, there is a whole entire scene where Pancada just walks over a bridge (which lasts for 21 seconds), there are three scenes where Pancada walks into Polaris's office, which takes a very long time to walk up to Polaris, and then there is a scene where Beth is taking a long time to pick up the newspaper. There is also a pointless sub-plot of Pancada, after dancing in front of some judges and Master Xin, being accepted into a dance academy. The reason this is pointless is because, after that scene is over, neither Pancada nor Master Xin never mention it again.
- False Advertising: The DVD cover shows the protagonist in a Kung Fu pose, despite the movie's main martial art being about boxing (or wrestling, whatever).
- Laughable dialogue, such as the scene after Pancada loses the match and Polaris said 'I'm about the richest man in the whole city!!!', despite the fact that they're all bears and don't even live in a city.
The Only Redeeming Quality
- A few unintentionally funny moments (like Freak Teddy laughing, stopping and then laughing again).
Reception
The film received extremely negative reviews from audiences. It currently has a 21% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes and currently has an IMDb rating of 1.3/10.
Trivia
- The Film (along with Ratatoing) were parodied in an episode of The Amazing World of GumballBTSW titled 'The Treasure'.
- The movie was never brought to North America and Japan, and Europe other than UK and Germany.

Production[edit]
The film was produced by animation studio Vídeo Brinquedo to coincide with the film Kung Fu Panda. The similarities that the film has with Kung Fu Panda have brought many to consider it a mockbuster, a characteristic associated with many of Vídeo Brinquedo's films.[1][3] The film's animation was completed by Paulo Biagioni, Renato Fujie, Arturo Hernández, and its director, Michelle Gabriel.
Release and reception[edit]
The movie was released on DVD on November 18, 2008[4] and was panned by critics, primarily because of its similarities to Kung Fu Panda, which was released only a few months before. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 'rotten' score of 17% based on 99 user ratings. A columnist for the website Nster News wrote, in comparison to Kung Fu Panda, The Little Panda Fighter is 'a trashy uninspired rip-off with a similar plot and lower budget'.[5] Mike Jeavons of Channel Awesome stated that 'the animation is terrible, the dialogue physically hurts, and the story is contrived and barely feels complete enough to fill the 50-minute runtime. The music is bad, the whole thing lacks imagination, and the characters and their motivations are awful'.[6]
