For what it's worth, he did get over his jealousy later in the movie, as evidenced when he approached Li Shan and made up with him, realizing that Po having his biological dad in his life didn't mean, in his words, "less for him", but "more for Po". That said, I still vote cut, because while he is a kind and loving dad, regardless of Po being a different species and a handful to take care of, I don't feel like that, alone, is enough to pass the admirable standard enough to stand out as a shining example of goodness in the series. Po, Oogway, and maybe Viper are the ones I'd say most deserve to qualify for that.

Plus, while he's generally pretty fair and amiable as a restaurant owner, he's still pragmatic enough to care most about sales, rather than being nice for its own sake. I know this was just meant as a brief gag, but even in the second movie, when Po came to visit him, he initially told everyone they could have free tofu dessert in honor of his son's return, which prompted them tp celebrate... only to add they'd have to get it with a purchase, drawing a collective groan. So yeah, while I wouldn't go as far as to declare that that's a corrupting factor, I think it's a good example of how he's generally a nice guy, but he doesn't go so far beyond what you'd expect that the PG label really suits him. Outright maybe, but not Pure Good. Otherwise, those customers would have gotten free tofu dessert without any sort of catch, heh heh.
