Kung Fu Panda World was a 2010 browser game. The game was themed after the Kung Fu Panda franchise of DreamWorks Animation, where players could move their character around a pre-rendered 2D world and participate in a variety of mini-games. Two and a half years in the making,[1] the game was directed principally towards children.[2][3][4] On July 15, 2012, the game was discontinued and removed, and the website now redirects to the main Kung Fu Panda website.
