History WesternAnimation / TheLittlePandaFighter

* ShoutOut: One of the opponents is clearly an evil version of [[Franchise/CareBears Tender Heart]].

''Ursinho da Pesada'', known in English as ''The Little Panda Fighter'', is a 2008 Brazilian DirectToVideo film by Creator/VideoBrinquedo that is, to say the least, "[[TheMockbuster inspired]]" by ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda''. A panda named Pancada works at a boxing club, but dreams of becoming a professional dancer. His boss, hoping to get back in the ring, fights a bear named Teddy Thunders, but due to an incident with the washing machine, everyone thinks he's Pancada. Now, Pancada is forced to fight in the ring for a battle that could determine the fate of the business.

* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: Averted. There are no kung-fu-fights, but boxing. And Pancada isn't very good at boxing, because he wants to be a dancer. The cover lies, as mentioned above, to get the attention of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda''-fans.

* TheMockbuster: A pretty flagrant rip-off of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda''.

* PandaingToTheAudience: Pancada is a panda.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: Beth serves no purpose in the story aside from being Pancada's LoveInterest.

* ClarkKenting: Taken UpToEleven. Polaris the polar bear manages to hide his identity by putting on a leotard and a bandit mask while fighting the current boxing champion Teddy Thunders, and when his disguise shrinks instead of being exposed everyone thinks he's Pancada the panda, even though they look completely different.

* ShoutOut: One of the opponents is clearly an evil version of [[WesternAnimation/CareBears Tender Heart]].

* BatmanGambit: At the end of the movie, Polaris bets all of his money on Pancada losing to Teddy Thunders, and is able to hand the Bear Bar Box over to Pancada, who turns it into a dance club, while Polaris retires to the icy mountains.

* ChristmasRushed: Was rushed to be released close to ''Kung Fu Panda'''s release date, in order to increase sales.

* NonIndicativeName: The titular panda is not "little", as he is one of the largest characters in the movie. Plus, he only fights for thirty seconds at the end of the movie, and he gets his ass kicked.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The artwork on the cover looks much better than the film's actual animation.

* OneDialogueTwoConversations: In ''Little Panda Fighter'' a bunch of people come up to Pancada and commend him on what they thought were his fighting skills and he thinks they're talking about his dancing audition, even though they were clearly not there watching. This is soon followed by another one between Pancada and Polaris, which is even more poorly constructed.
