comment
Ursinho da Pesada, known in English as The Little Panda Fighter, is a 2008 Brazilian Direct to Video film by Vídeo Brinquedo that is, to say the least, "inspired" by Kung Fu Panda. 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.See also Chop Kick Panda, another Kung Fu Panda knockoff.

Surprisingly Happy Ending
 The Little Panda Fighter / int_25b4ad2f
comment
Surprisingly Happy Ending: Finally fighting for real, Pancada embarrassingly loses the climatic match against Freak Teddy. However the next day, it turns out that Polaris bet that Pancada would lose, turning him wealthy and earning him a retirement and vacation. Though Polaris gets away with his treachery in the end, on a plus side for the protagonist, Pancada now has the Bear Bar Box's property to himself, deciding to turn it into a dance club to his liking, finally fulfilling his dream of being a dancer.

The Bad Guy Wins: Teddy Thunders wins against Pancada in the climatic fight, reigniting his place as the champion of the Bear Bar Box.

Batman Gambit: 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.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 The Little Panda Fighter / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Pancada never had much of a chance against Teddy Thunders. While he does do some considerably effective, albeit comical, hits against Teddy, Pancada is for most of the battle badly beaten up.

Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting: 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 Kung Fu Panda-fans.

 The Little Panda Fighter / int_5e1ecc50

Mistaken for Badass: The plot revolves around everyone thinking Pancada defeated Freak Teddy in a match, and everyone constantly congratulates him for his supposed feat. In reality, it was Polaris who fought Teddy in a disguise that made him look like a panda, hence everyone's confusion.

comment
One Dialogue, Two Conversations: 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.

Clark Kenting: Taken up to eleven. 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.

All for Nothing: Pancada trains hard to prepare for his match against Freak Teddy, actually fighting for real this time after everyone believes confuses Polaris for Pancada when Freak Teddy is defeated by the former. Despite his training and confidence, Pancada embarrassingly loses the fight against Teddy pretty hard.
