Kung Fu Panda is a 2008 American figurer-animated action comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Information technology is the first installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise. Directed past John Stevenson (in his feature directorial debut) and Mark Osborne, the movie stars the voices of Jack Blackness, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Ian McShane, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cantankerous, Randall Duk Kim, James Hong, Dan Fogler, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Jackie Chan. The film is set in a version of ancient China populated by anthropomorphic animals and revolves around a bumbling panda named Po, a kung-fu enthusiast. When a notorious snowfall-leopard named Tai Lung is foretold to escape from prison, Po is unwittingly named the "Dragon Warrior" – a prophesised hero worthy of reading a curl said to grant its reader limitless power.[4]

The moving picture was originally conceived by Michael Lachance, a DreamWorks Animation executive. Information technology was originally intended to be a parody of martial arts films, but managing director Stevenson decided instead to brand an activeness-comedy wuxia motion-picture show that incorporates the hero'southward journey narrative classic for the lead grapheme. The calculator blitheness in the pic was more circuitous than annihilation DreamWorks had done before. Equally with well-nigh DreamWorks Animation films, Hans Zimmer (this time collaborating with John Powell) scored Kung Fu Panda. He visited Mainland china to absorb the culture and get to know the China National Symphony Orchestra as part of his preparation.

Kung Fu Panda premiered in the United States on June half-dozen, 2008. The film received positive reviews for its mature themes, faithfulness to the Chinese environment and tradition, activity sequences, and writing. Kung Fu Panda opened in 4,114 theaters, grossing $xx.3 million on its opening day and $60.2 meg on its opening weekend, resulting in the number one position at the box office. The picture show became DreamWorks' biggest opening for a non-sequel film, making it the 3rd highest grossing picture of 2008, the highest-grossing animated moving-picture show of the twelvemonth worldwide, and besides had the fourth-largest opening weekend for a DreamWorks film at the American and Canadian box office, behind all three Shrek sequels.[5] The movie was nominated for the University Award and a Golden Globe Honor for best animated pic, but lost both awards to WALL-Eastward. The success of Kung Fu Panda launched a multimedia franchise and 2 sequels, with Kung Fu Panda ii (2011) and Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016).

Plot [edit]

In the Valley of Peace, a land in Ancient Mainland china inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, the clumsy panda Po helps his adoptive begetter Mr. Ping to run their noodle restaurant, merely dreams of fighting alongside the Furious V – Tigress, Monkey, Crane, Viper, and Mantis – a group of kung fu masters trained past Master Shifu.

The wise Chief Oogway, Shifu's mentor, predicts that Shifu's one-time protégé, the evil Tai Lung, will escape from prison house and attack the valley to obtain the Dragon Gyre, a legendary antiquity he had previously been denied. Panicked, Shifu sends Zeng the goose to increase the security at Chorh-Gom Prison house in Mongolia, while he holds a tournament for the Five so that Oogway tin identify the Dragon Warrior, the prophesised hero worthy of reading the Scroll, which is said to grant limitless power on its reader. Po arrives also tardily to enter the arena; desperate to see his idols, he accidentally launches himself into the middle of the loonshit, where Oogway acclaims him as the Dragon Warrior, to the astonishment of anybody nowadays.

Believing Oogway'south determination to be an accident, Shifu tries to dispose of Po with a harsh training regime, while the Five dismiss Po as an enthusiast with no potential in martial arts. Po considers quitting, but afterwards receiving encouragement from Oogway, he endures his grooming and gradually befriends the 5 with his resilience, culinary skill, and practiced humor. During this time, Po learns that Shifu's cold and distant behavior stems from his own shame over Tai Lung's betrayal, having raised him from infancy. Meanwhile, Zeng's warnings are ignored, and Tai Lung escapes from prison by picking his locks with one of the goose's feathers and vanquishing the guards. Having learnt about this cataclysm, Shifu informs Oogway, who makes him promise to believe in Po; Oogway so passes on to the heavens in a stream of peach blossoms.

Upon hearing that Oogway has died and that Tai Lung is fast approaching, Po, still unable to make whatsoever progress with kung fu and fed up with the harsh handling he has endured, makes Shifu admit that he does not know how to railroad train the panda into the Dragon Warrior. Tigress, the preeminent member of the Five, overhears this and leads her team to face up Tai Lung. Meanwhile, Shifu discovers that Po is capable of impressive physical feats when motivated past food, and successfully trains Po past incorporating these feats into an innovative kung fu way, using food as positive reinforcement. The climax of this grooming ensues when Shifu offers Po a bowl of dumplings if he is able to get it from him. Po is unsuccessful in getting nigh of the dumplings from Shifu and the two fight over the last ane in kung fu style. Po eventually relinquishes the dumpling, despite having won it fair and square. Shifu then realizes that Po has finally mastered the fighting style.

The Furious 5 put up a good fight against Tai Lung, simply are soon overwhelmed by his nervus strike technique. Shifu decides that Po is prepare to receive the Dragon Coil, but the ringlet'due south blank, reflective surface does non reveal any powerful secrets. Assertive it really was impaired luck that Po was called, Po and the Five evacuate the inhabitants of the Valley, while Shifu prepares to face up Tai Lung. In trying to panel a distraught Po, Mr. Ping reveals that his "underground ingredient soup" has no secret ingredient, explaining that aspects are special if people believe they are. Realizing that this is the message of the Dragon Roll, which simply displays the reader'due south own reflection, Po rushes back to help Shifu.

Tai Lung overpowers Shifu, who apologizes for being too proud to see who his educatee was condign, only Tai Lung is notwithstanding determined to get the scroll. Po, who arrives with the Dragon Scroll, proves to be more than than a match for his opponent, frustrating him with confusing fighting techniques. He is eventually subdued by Tai Lung's greater skill, simply, greedy for power, Tai Lung is unable to understand the message of the Dragon Roll and takes his anger on Po. Discovering that his body fat renders him immune to Tai Lung'due south nerve strikes, Po trounces his adversary with his new kung fu style, and somewhen removes him from existence using the mysterious Wuxi Finger Concord.[a] Po is honored by the Valley and gains the respect of the Furious Five, while Shifu achieves a state of inner peace. In a mail-credits scene, Shifu and Po share a meal while a peach that Shifu had planted earlier in the movie grows into a tree in the background.

Production [edit]

... nosotros love martial arts movies. I wasn't interested in making fun of them, because I really call back martial arts movies can exist groovy films, they can exist as good every bit whatever genre movie when they're washed properly ...

Let's try to arrive a real martial arts movie admitting one with a comic character and permit's have our action seriously. Let's not give anything up to the big summertime movies. Let's really make sure that our kung fu is equally cool as whatsoever kung fu ever done so that nosotros can take our place in that catechism and brand sure information technology's a beautiful movie considering great martial arts movies are really cute-looking movies and so let'south see if we tin can imbue it with real eye and emotion.

—co-director John Stevenson on the comedic approach to the martial arts film.[8]

DreamWorks had previously produced the PlayStation video game with a similar premise, T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger under its defunct video game sectionalization DreamWorks Interactive (now known every bit Danger Shut Games).[9] Publicized work on the picture show began in Oct 2004.[10] In September 2005, DreamWorks Animation announced the film alongside Jack Black, who was selected to be the principal voice star.[11]

In November 2005, DreamWorks Animation announced that Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Ian McShane would bring together Jack Black in the cast.[12] This is also the 2d DreamWorks Blitheness film in which Black and Angelina Jolie have co-starred together, the outset being 2004's Shark Tale.[13]

The idea for the film was conceived by Michael Lachance, a DreamWorks Animation executive.[fourteen] Initially, the idea was to brand it a spoof, simply co-director John Stevenson was not particularly keen on information technology and instead chose the direction of a character-based wuxia comedy.[8]

Reportedly inspired by Stephen Chow'southward 2004 martial arts action one-act film, Kung Fu Hustle, [15] the co-directors wanted to make sure the film as well had an authentic Chinese and kung-fu feel to information technology. Product designer Raymond Zibach and art manager Tang Heng spent years researching Chinese painting, sculpture, architecture and kung-fu films to help create the wait of the film.[16] Zibach said some of the biggest influences for him are the more artful martial arts films such equally Hero, House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.[xvi] Stevenson's aim for the movie, which took four years to brand, was to make "the best looking picture DreamWorks has ever fabricated".

We've had some productions that were stressful, simply this one ran very smoothly and DreamWorks is [sic] this production as a template on how they would like future productions to run. Nosotros lucked out, and in that location really was a sense of harmony on the animation. Even the product people. We all seemed like we were on the same page, believing in the picture show. That doesn't happen very often. I tell animators, you will be working on dumpers for most of your career, simply every once in a while you lot go a gem. Kung Fu Panda was a gem.

—Dan Wagner, Head of Character Animation.[17]

The hand-drawn animation sequence at the beginning of the film was fabricated to resemble Chinese shadow puppetry.[18] The opening, which was directed past Jennifer Yuh Nelson and produced by James Baxter, was praised past The New York Times reviewer Manohla Dargis as "striking" and "visually different from most mainstream American animations".[19]

Other reviewers have compared the opening to the evocative style of Genndy Tartakovsky's Drawing Network series Samurai Jack.[20] [21] The rest of the film is modern computer blitheness, which uses bright, offbeat colors to evoke the natural landscape of China.[xviii] The end credit sequence also features manus-fatigued characters and yet paintings in the background.[18]

The reckoner blitheness used throughout the film was more than complex than anything DreamWorks had done before. When the head of the production handed the script to VFX Supervisor Markus Manninen, she reportedly laughed and wished him "skillful luck". "When we started talking," said Manninen, "the movie was still a high concept. But for anybody that looked at it, information technology screamed complexity. We launched off by proverb, how can yous make this movie tangible? How tin can you find smart ways to bring this world to life in a manner that makes it a great picture show and not feel like the complication becomes the driver of the story, merely the story and the emotion existence the driver?"[22] In training, the animators took a six-hour kung fu course.[23]

Producer Melissa Cobb said that originally Po was "more of a jerk," only that the character changed later they heard Jack Black.[23] According to Black, he more often than not worked "in isolation", although he and Dustin Hoffman did spend a day together, which Cobb said helped with the scene where their characters confront off.[23] Lucy Liu said that the film "was quite different because it was such a long process."[24] Liu said that when she was presented with the projection they already had artwork of her character likewise as a "short computerized video version of what she would look like when she moved."[24]

Richard Corliss of Time Magazine gave Kung Fu Panda a positive review, stating the picture "provides a primary course in cunning visual art and ultra-satisfying entertainment".[40] The New York Times said, "At once fuzzy-wuzzy and industrial strength, the tacky-sounding Kung Fu Panda is high concept with a middle," and the review chosen the pic "consistently diverting" and "visually arresting".[19] Chris Barsanti of Filmcritic.com commented, "Blazing beyond the screen with eye-popping, sublime artwork, Kung Fu Panda sets itself apart from the modern domestic blitheness trend with its sheer beauty ... the moving-picture show enters instant archetype status every bit some of the most gorgeous blitheness Hollywood has produced since the golden age of Disney."[41] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune called the film "i of the few comedies of 2008 in any style or genre that knows what it's doing".[42] Still, Tom Charity of CNN criticized the action for tending "to mistiness into a whirlwind of slapstick chaos" and considered the graphic symbol of Po too similar to others played past Blackness.[43] Peter Howell of The Toronto Star awarded the film two and a half stars, considering information technology to accept a "lack of story" that "frequently manages to amuse, if not entirely to please".[44]

Kung Fu Panda was also well received in China.[45] It made virtually 110 million Yuan by July 2, 2008, becoming the first animated film to earn more than 100 meg Yuan in China.[46] [47] The Chinese director Lu Chuan commented, "From a production standpoint, the motion-picture show is nearly perfect. Its American creators showed a very sincere mental attitude about Chinese civilisation."[48] [49] The film's disquisitional and commercial success in Communist china led to some local introspection near why no movie like Kung Fu Panda had been produced in China, with commentators attributing the problem variously to lower film budgets in China, as well much authorities oversight, a famine of national imagination, and an overly reverent mental attitude to China's history and cultural icons.[50] [51] [52]

Accolades [edit]

Kung Fu Panda was nominated for the Academy Accolade for Best Animated Feature[53] and the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Characteristic Picture show,[54] but lost both awards to Pixar'due south WALL-E.
