The snowy fog disappears. A sunlit village full of trees, people, and elaborate houses is seen instead.

"Li? Everyone, Li is back. They're both back. He found his son. He made it. They're back. Li? He found his son. Everyone, Li is back. Hang on, we're coming. He made it. Why are we running? He made it. Li Shan is back"

The entire village stops halfway from meeting the three – tired from running. Eventually, the villagers reach them.

"Everyone, everyone gather around! This is my son"
Three kids climb on Po's shoulders.

"Triplets!"

"Hi, I'm Ku Ku"

"I'm Meng Meng"

"I'm Shuai Shuai"

"Your fur is soft"

"He smells like cookies"

"He's so handsome. Just like his father"

"Thank you"

Then the baby pandas approach princess petting her fur and tail.

"Pretty tail"

"She feels soft"

"I like her dress"

"Oh thank you" princess says.

"Son, these are your cousins. Dim and Sum"

"I have cousins!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!" Sum puts a necklace of buns on Po.

"Whoa, buns on a string"

"We call it a snacklace"

"That's right" Dim, Sum, and other villagers eat off the snacklace.

"Dah... we'll make you another one"

"It's you" a village panda bearhugs Po.

"Oh, that's nice. Hi"

"I don't know who you are"

LEI LEI holds up Tigress action figure, "Oh, stripy baby. So beautiful"

"Ok, careful with that. That's my action figure"

"Can I keep her?"

"No...Problem. Of course. Yeah. That's why I brought her. Take good care of her"

LEI LEI hugs Tigress action figure, "Yes, stripy baby"

Po looks at the villagers surrounding him, studying a characteristic from each of them.

"You look just like me, but a baby. You're like me, but old. You're like me, but fatter. You're like me but... with a hat"

"He does wear a hat"

"You all look like me"

"Let's feast in my son's honor" The villagers depart by rolling down a hill.

"What the?..."

"Pandas don't walk. We roll!"

"Have you ever seen anyone look so ridiculous? Po, what are you doing? Po?"

Po rolls, but fails to do it without getting hurt. He stops near the eating table.

"You're right. That is better than walking"

"What kind of panda doesn't know how to roll?"

"Well, I'm kinda new at this whole being a panda thing"

"And what kind of panda are you? You have a funny neck"

"I'm not a panda at all"

"What's that?"
