What happens

Legend of a Rabbit (Chinese: 兔侠传奇 Tùxiá Chuánqí), released in the United States as Legend of Kung Fu Rabbit, is a 2011 Chinese animated film directed by Sun Yijun. The film features an original cast of Fan Wei, Yan Ni, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Yishan and Pu Cunxin. In the English version, it stars the voices of Jon Heder, Tom Arnold, Rebecca Black, Michael Clarke Duncan and Claire Geare. The film was released in 62 countries, and was the first Chinese animated feature ever to be shown internationally. The film was a box office failure in China, managing to gross CNY16.2 million compared to its CNY120 million budget but it was a success in many other countries. Some noted its similarity to the Kung Fu Panda film franchise. A sequel to the film, Legend of a Rabbit: The Martial of Fire, was released in 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
