The future enemy

During the dream, Poe finds himself in the face of a colossal buffalo, which he returns to his place in the shortest time. When a panda wakes up in his room, we can also point out that the same character appears on the painted (and shimmering) wall of the room.

With the discovery of Kung Fu Panda 3 released 8 years later, we can not help but imagine that this sketch could have been the source of inspiration to create the remarkable General Kai, the chief antagonist of the last opus.

Panda shadow

For a moment, when Poe’s “father” asks him to come and help in the kitchen, the character’s shadow may make us think he’s a panda too.

“Look at this tree, Master. I can not make it flourish of my own free will, nor can I prematurely grow the fruit,” the owl explains to his student, who then hurries to throw an angry little seed into the ground to show himself. Desire.
