Summary

• Kung Fu Panda, Kung Fu Panda 2, and Kung Fu Panda 3 are not available for streaming in the US, but can be rented or bought digitally from various services.

The Kung Fu Panda movie franchise includes three films between 2008 and 2016, available in some or other form online. These animated DreamWorks movies follow Po, a panda chosen as the prophesied Dragon Warrior and his journey through learning kung fu and fulfilling his fate. The franchise sees major commercial and critical success, particularly for its interpretation of the wuxia Chinese genre of fiction, which typically follows martial arts. Moreover, as a media franchise, Kung Fu Panda also includes multiple television series and short films.

With Kung Fu Panda 4 joining the franchise in 2024, many may be drawn to the existing trilogy. Whether hoping to revisit Po's adventures or experience them for the first time, the first three Kung Fu Panda movies are available for digital rental or purchase. Unfortunately, not all Kung Fu Panda movies are available on streaming platforms. However, there's a history of some of the Kung Fu Panda movies being added and removed on streamers, so a return is always possible.

The First Three Kung Fu Panda Movies Aren't Available For Streaming

The Kung Fu Panda Trilogy Must Be Rented Or Purchased

Sadly, Kung Fu Panda, Kung Fu Panda 2, and Kung Fu Panda 3 are not currently on any streaming services in the United States. Previously, Kung Fu Panda 2 and Kung Fu Panda 3 were available on the popular streaming platform, Netflix, but were removed by early 2024. While the first hree installments of the Kung Fu Panda movie franchise aren't currently available for streaming, they can be rented or bought digitally from an array of services.

However, the Kung Fu Panda movies have appeared on a variety of streaming platforms in the past, and not just on Netflix. There's every chance that they could return to a new streamer in the future, possibly Netflix once again, but Max or Amazon Prime Video are all possibilities too. The franchise remains one of the most popular DreamWorks staples, so it's unlikely they'll stay unavailable for long.

However two of the Kung Fu Panda TV spinoffs are currently available to stream. Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness was the first Kung Fu Panda TV show, and currently has one season available on Paramount+. As for Netflix, all three seasons of the streamer's original show Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight remain available and can be enjoyed by fans with a subscription to the service.

For those looking to avoid streaming subscriptions entirely and go for a once-off payment, there are various rental and purchasing options for the Kung Fu Panda movies. Several VOD platforms offer relatively similar prices, so audiences can make a choice based on preference. Aside from any limited-time offers, all three movies are either $3.79 or $3.99 (Kung Fu Panda 3 being the higher price) for rental and $14.99 for digital purchase, including HD quality.

Kung Fu Panda 4 Is Now Available To Rent And Purchase

The 2024 Movie Can Be Viewed On The Small Screen Too

Po returned to screens in 2024 with Kung Fu Panda 4, the first movie since 2016's Kung Fu Panda 3. After a theatrical run (which is still ongoing at some theaters at time of writing) the fourth entry in the franchise has become digitally available, and Kung Fu Panda 4 can be rented and purchased from a variety of platforms. As it's a recent release, the price of Kung Fu Panda 4 is higher than the preceding three movies.

It's unknown when or where Kung Fu Panda 4 will be available to stream, but it's highly likely it'll arrive on a popular streaming platform sooner or later, just like the other Kung Fu Panda movies.
