After watching Ku Fu Panda 3 (KFP-3) many times. It reminded me of one other movie, which made me think of an alternative meaning to the movie.
Spoiler Alert-
In the movie KFP-3 Po goes back to his secret village where his father and the rest of the Panda population have survived. Po feels strange adapting to their life style and finally learns to roll with it. He then teaches his fellow citizens of the village who are fun-loving and clumsy, the art of Kung Fu with basic daily activities(kind off) in order to defend their village from enemies. In the end when Po is in the spirit realm , the village relearns their ancient art of Chi (It is sort of energy, that makes the flower bloom and gives extra super powers) and helps Po secure victory over Kai (the enemy).
Interpretation:
Well for me I felt that Po was the lost soul who found purpose in life, which is - to help and protect others by teaching them. If you have watched KFP-3 you will notice that his fellow village brethren are distraught and have less or no basic skills . So Po helps the pandas learn Kung Fu through daily activities.
Consider this, the village as an rehabilitation center and Po helped the "inmates" Pandas learn basic skills to make their life a little bit bright and easy. In the end they end up helping each other.
Other Movie:
Patch Adams - The true story of the Doctor.
The movie opens up where Patch Adams is in a rehabilitation center. As the movie progresses he helps the inmates a little, part by part. Later on does amazing things with his humor and dedication. Again to make their life a little better. Plus there are many other similarities at a higher abstract level which you can find out if you have watched both the movies.
may be the below picture will convince you of my interpretation.
