From the beginning, Master Shifu is distant towards Po (the Panda), because he wants him to learn everything there is to know about becoming a real master of kung-fu. Multiple times, Master Shifu is totally mean to Po, and shows him that he as a smaller animal is still much better than Po thinks he is himself.
I think that this character fits into the stereotype well, although not 100%. I think that the stereotype was presented in a milder way that in the Hollywood movies like Karate Kid, because this particular cartoon was aimed at children, a younger audience that the producers probably did not want to alienate entirely.
haha, this is a funny example, I think it is quite relevant. I cant believe there are even all these stereotypes in animated films!
