Scholastic.com - "Kung Fu Panda-monium!" by Marie Morreale. Published and retrieved November 7, 2008. Mr. Ping has been the only character so far with the same voice actor throughout the entire Kung Fu Panda franchise. [5] While Dugan has a low opinion about his uncle Fethry, he admires the Red Bat (Fethry's superhero identity). Overall he causes a lot of trouble to his uncle and makes even him upset. Mr. Ping, worried that Po might consider leaving again, stared at his son in terror, until Po then declared that he was his son. Relieved that Po still accepted him as a father, both father and son share a hug in acceptance of one another. Mr. Ping then offered to cook for Po, but Po offered to cook as well as his way of thanking his father for raising him. But Mr. Ping insisted on cooking and he happily walked into the kitchen with his son.

We haven’t got any bread, ask me again and I’ll nail your beak to the bar, you irritating little bird!” Mr. Ping: [To Po] Just look at her, isn't she beautiful? And those eyes, all those gorgeous eyes... At Po's triumph over Tai Lung, all of Mr. Ping's doubts of his son's destiny vanished as he proclaimed his pride in Po to the entire Valley as they embraced. Furthermore, the end credit graphics indicate that Po kept close in touch with his father to the point of temporarily assuming the restaurant's cooking on occasion while Ping established a friendship with the panda's other father figure and master, Shifu. and was seen outwitting Shifu in a Chinese chess match.

Mr. Ping is the only other character besides Po to appear in every movie and TV series of the Kung Fu Panda franchise. The nephews appeared in seasonal parades during Easter, Halloween and Christmas 2011 after a long absence. They also appeared in the Countdown Party Parade 2011. As his adoptive father, Mr. Ping loves Po more than he loves his noodles. Even though he is a little old-fashioned and maybe a bit naive to his son's wishes and adult responsibilities, he does love his son dearly and would do anything to make him happy. He gave Po his posters, swinging stars and action figures out of love and encouragement that his son could lead a normal and happy life.

In " Master Ping", after a fight between Po and a trio of brutish pigs ( Bao, Tsao and Lao) leads to the destruction of Mr. Ping's restaurant, Master Shifu allows the goose to take up residence in the Jade Palace. It isn't long until Mr. Ping's bossy, intrusive habits cause problems for the palace residents: the loud nasal sounds he makes when he sleeps keeps everyone else awake, he uses the jade tortoise as a giant noodle pan, and eventually transforms the hall of warriors into his own restaurant, with the Furious Five and temporarily Master Shifu as its waiters. While speaking with a customer, Mr. Ping actually proclaims that he "runs the place". Unfortunately, the pig trio from earlier happen to arrive at that very moment, having decided to find Shifu and make him teach them the secret kung fu moves. Hearing Mr. Ping's "run the place" comment, they immediately assume that he is the master they are looking for. Po finds out Mr. Ping gave away his hand-made action figures of the Furious Five without his consent. He screams in horror and is upset at his dad, visibly causing Mr. Ping much guilt. He claims it was an accident while Po rushes to find his figures.
