Cast
- Jack Black as Po, an energetic yet immature, accident-prone giant panda. He is also a die-hard fan of the Furious Five and kung fu, as well as being the son of Mr. Ping, in whose noodle shop they are co-workers. In the end, he becomes the Dragon Warrior after defeating Tai Lung; thus he joins the Furious Five who accept him as a true kung fu master.
- Dustin Hoffman as Master Shifu, an old red panda, who is Po and the Five's sifu. He is the adoptive father of Tai Lung and foster father of Tigress.
- Angelina Jolie as Tigress, a tiger with an extremely short temper and the leader of the Furious Five. She is Shifu's foster daughter and was the most hostile to Po's receiving the Dragon Warrior title, but eventually reconciled with him.
- Ian McShane as Tai Lung, a muscular snow leopard, who was denied the Dragon Scroll by Grand Master Oogway because of the true darkness in his heart. After rampaging the Valley of Peace for being denied the scroll, Tai Lung was defeated by Master Oogway and sent to Chorh-Gom Prison for 20 years, after which he escaped and returned for revenge. He is the former adoptive son of Shifu.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He is truly a man who will not permit himself to be unduly elated when fortune’s breeze is favorable, or cast down when it is adverse.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
“I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now & then, but every turn of the card & cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive—besides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
