    • Synopsis
    • When Panda Bear Ping realizes that his friend Jielong, a baby dragon, has been kidnapped from Ping’s home while he’s babysitting her, he starts to panic that this could curse the peaceful relationship between pandas and dragons forever. Desperate to find his friend, he makes a fateful decision and takes matters into his own hands to bring back Jielong before her parents return. As he journeys out of the bamboo forest for the first time in his life and into the big scary world, he meets Xing Xing, a wise old orangutan who becomes a mentor for Ping. Through Ping’s quest, he meets a continent full of animals who help guide him to discover it is the young Lion King Ade, who is responsible for Jielong’s kidnapping. Once he and his newfound friends face King Ade’s army protecting the baby dragon, they must figure out an escape plan for Jielong and somehow get her all the way home to China before anyone notices she ever left!
