In 2008, DreamWorks released Kung Fu Panda, and the marketing for the film seemed fairly typical, focusing a lot on the sillier, cruder humor that DreamWorks had been associated with. Many were skeptical over a martial arts film starring Jack Black as a talking panda. When the film released however, it was met with strong praise from both critics and audiences. Not only did people find it to be funny and entertaining for children, but many were impressed with the animation and choreography of its fight scenes, as well as its grasp of slightly more intense and nuanced themes compared to normal media aimed at children. Part of this mastery comes from a real love of the genre. Despite some plans to make the film a more out-and-out comedy and spoof of martial arts films, but John Stevenson, the film’s co-director insisted that the film be more in line with tradition “wuxia”, or martial arts films while keeping a comedic tone in parts. The best homages are made with genuine respect and it’s clear that the filmmakers felt that in strides when making this movie. The team spent many years studying Chinese artwork, architecture, shadow puppetry, and many other cultural elements. The animators even took a kung fu class to have a sense of the way the characters should actually move and fight.

This respect and attention to detail was lauded in China as well. In addition to performing very well financially, Chinese director Lu Chuan praised the film’s ingenuity and it’s genuine respect and regard for Chinese culture. The film was also praised for its thematic and moral center. The core idea of the film is that “there is no secret ingredient” to being a master of something. There is no magical chosen one who is naturally gifted. A hero can come from anywhere, no matter how humble, as long as they are sincere, kind, and respectful. Po is a wonderfully endearing and likable character, and exemplifies the aforementioned theme perfectly. His genuine nature and sincerity makes him a nice contrast to many other animated protagonists who are defined by their snarky attitude and mean spirited nature. Additionally he doesn’t have the typical musclebound, action hero look, making him a much more relatable character, which is especially meaningful for children. What’s even more impressive than creating such an outstanding film is being able to do it again, and even better the second time around. The sequel, Kung Fu Panda 2, which released in 2011 expanded upon the first film in nearly every way. With more advanced technology and more experience, the team was able to up the animation in a big way. The choreography and animation are more dynamic and fluid, and the cast continues to bring such a strong energy to the characters. Where the film really shines through are the emotional moments. It delves into Po’s backstory and goes into surprisingly dark places. Before the events of the films, the evil Shen wiped out all the Pandas, for fear that they would pose a threat to his conquering ambitions. Po is forced to confront the one who slaughtered his kind and even loses his first confrontation with him.
