Storyline[edit]
Manchu, a young panda in the majestic Chinese highlands. When the survival of Manchu's community is endangered, the leisure-loving pandas are slow to react. But Manchu leads the way with the help of his friends Konfusius the red panda and Jung Fu the leopard, and they overcome breath-taking obstacles like snowy avalanches and unfriendly gorillas. Finding a path through spectacular terrain, the tribe meets both foes and friends until, just as their new destination is in sight, rising water from a new dam blocks the way. Manchu learns how hard it can be to become a leader. But his triumph over huge odds shows that hope, optimism, friendship, and the will to stand up for what’s right can lead to a brighter future.
