KUNG FU PANDA MOVIE
This was DreamWorks largest opening for a non-sequel movie, and it became the highest grosing animated movie worldwide that year. Kung Fu Panda opened in over 4,100 theatres and grossed well over $20 million on its opening day and over $60 million during its opening weekend, reaching the #1 position at the box office. Upon release, the movie showcased he most complex computer animations ever creeated by DreamWorks. To everyones surprise, Grand Master Oogway claims that Po is the chosen one the Dragon Warrior that will save them when the vicious kung fu warrior Tai Lung escapes from prison to seek revenge. The bambling Po is a big fan of kung fu and wants to become a kung fu master.
The main character in the movie is a clumsy giant panda named Po, who runs a noodle restaurant with his adopted father, a goose named Ping. Production designer Raymond Zibach said in an interview that some of the biggest influences for him when working on the movie were artful martial arts films such as Hero, House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The story, which is a classic hero’s journey and coming of age kind of story, is set in DreamWorks’s version of ancient China, a world populated by anthropomorphic talking animals. It premiered in 2008 and received both positive reviews and a #1 spot at the box office for its opening weekend. Wouldn’t it be cool to have Oogway as your HRD – just imagine the possibilities.Kung Fu Panda is a computer-animated comedy martial arts film produced by DreamWorks Animations. Promise me, Shifu, promise me you will believe. Shifu: But how? How? I need your help, master. Oogway: Maybe it can, if you are willing to guide, to nurture it, to believe in it. Shifu: But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung! You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach. But no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. Shifu: But there are things we *can* control: I can control when the fruit will fall, I can control where to plant the seed: that is no illusion, Master! Oogway: Look at this tree, Shifu: I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time. Oogway: My friend, the panda will never fulfill his destiny, nor you yours until you let go of the illusion of control. Having previously written about the illusion of control, this passage struck a chord with me and I’d like to share it with you here: The quote was “Anything is possible when you have inner peace”, and it reminded me of a great passage from the movie about the illusion of control. This morning I spotted a tweet from Ann Tran quoting from the film. The animation is beautiful and the story line is funny and powerful. I’d seen it before and loved it, Carole and Keira hadn’t so we sat down and enjoyed it. The Beeb showed Kung Fu Panda yesterday evening.
