Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Movie: Kung Fu Panda (2008)
“It’s the story about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around…which doesn’t exactly come in handy while working every day in his family’s noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po’s dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five — Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey — under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it’s up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart – and his girth – into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.

Trivia: The opening scene is an homage to Japanese anime, as both directors are big fan of the genre. They wanted to distinguish the opening dream sequence, so they faked 3D into 2D.
Goofs: Miscellaneous: The peach tree is seen to be covered with blossoms and fruit at the same time. Typically, fruit trees blossom in the spring, then they are covered with leaves in the summer, and finally they yield fruit in the fall. This cycle is longer or shorter with different fruit trees in different climates, but it is always sequential and never simultaneous.
