Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness 2011

Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness is an American animated comedy television series co-produced by DreamWorks Animation Television and Nickelodeon Animation Studio, based on DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda franchise. It serves as a bridge between the first and second films, following Po's training to become a successful Dragon Warrior, whereas the second film is, according to the series' developer Peter Hastings, "not unlike a very long, super-deluxe 3-D version of one of our episodes." The series was originally set to air on Nickelodeon in 2010, but it was pushed back to 2011 instead. The series premiered with a special preview on September 19, 2011, and began airing regularly on November 7. Broadcast in the United States ceased partway through the third and final season, though all remaining had aired in countries such as Germany (through Nicktoons) and Canada (through YTV). In 2016, Nicktoons in the United States began running commercials announcing the premiere of new episodes; it was subsequently revealed that five of the ten unaired episodes would air from February 15 to 19.
