%X This study aims at showing the correlation between the two early stages of childhood development of Po and the adult fixation that occurs at his present time; in addition, it is expected to give a deeper comprehensive understanding of how crucial the roles of parents in parenting during the childhood period. Having the data analyzed, a qualitative method was used to explain and describe the information collected which were related to psychological issues in the movie. The significant cinematography: camerawork in the movie, where the setting, plot, characters were described as the story is presented through moving pictures. Moreover, the theory of psychoanalysis: stages of psychosexual development by Sigmund Freud was used to explain the motives and behaviors of the character Po. As a result: 1) Po¡¯s anxiety is triggered by his inadequate gratification of ¡®id¡¯ at the oral stage, making it difficult to control his dietary habit, pessimistic, dependent, and overly sensitive to rejection. 2) The lack of parenting at the anal stage makes him manifest a lack of self-control, disorganized, messy and careless behaviors. 3) Po eventually manages to gain his confidence; nevertheless, the adult fixation remains in him.
