Product [edit]

... nosotros honey martial arts movies. I wasn't interested in making fun of them, because I actually think martial arts movies tin can exist great films, they tin be as skilful equally any genre film when they're done properly ...

Let's effort to brand it a existent martial arts movie albeit one with a comic character and let's have our activity seriously. Allow's non requite anything upward to the big summer movies. Let's really brand sure that our kung fu is as absurd equally whatever kung fu ever done so that we can take our place in that canon and make sure it's a beautiful movie because great martial arts movies are actually beautiful-looking movies and then permit's see if nosotros can imbue it with real heart 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 division DreamWorks Interactive (at present known as Danger Close Games).[9] Publicized work on the motion-picture show began in Oct 2004.[10] In September 2005, DreamWorks Blitheness announced the motion picture alongside Jack Blackness, who was selected to be the main vox star.[eleven]

In November 2005, DreamWorks Blitheness announced that Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Ian McShane would join Jack Black in the cast.[12] This is also the 2nd DreamWorks Blitheness film in which Black and Angelina Jolie accept co-starred together, the first existence 2004's Shark Tale.[thirteen]

The idea for the motion-picture show was conceived by Michael Lachance, a DreamWorks Animation executive.[fourteen] Initially, the idea was to make it a spoof, merely 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 past Stephen Grub's 2004 martial arts activity comedy film, Kung Fu Hustle, [15] the co-directors wanted to brand sure the film also had an authentic Chinese and kung-fu feel to it. Production designer Raymond Zibach and art manager Tang Heng spent years researching Chinese painting, sculpture, architecture and kung-fu films to aid create the look of the film.[xvi] 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.[16] Stevenson'due south aim for the film, which took 4 years to brand, was to make "the best looking moving-picture show DreamWorks has ever made".

We've had some productions that were stressful, simply this one ran very smoothly and DreamWorks is [sic] this production equally a template on how they would like time to come productions to run. We lucked out, and in that location really was a sense of harmony on the blitheness. Even the production people. We all seemed similar we were on the same folio, assertive in the film. That doesn't happen very often. I tell animators, you will be working on dumpers for most of your career, but every once in a while y'all become a gem. Kung Fu Panda was a gem.

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

The hand-drawn animation sequence at the first of the film was made to resemble Chinese shadow puppetry.[xviii] The opening, which was directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson and produced past James Baxter, was praised by The New York Times reviewer Manohla Dargis every bit "hitting" and "visually unlike from well-nigh mainstream American animations".[19]

The estimator animation used throughout the film was more circuitous than annihilation DreamWorks had washed before. When the head of the production handed the script to VFX Supervisor Markus Manninen, she reportedly laughed and wished him "expert luck". "When we started talking," said Manninen, "the picture show was still a high concept. Just for everyone that looked at it, it screamed complexity. Nosotros launched off by proverb, how tin can yous make this film tangible? How can you find smart ways to bring this world to life in a manner that makes it a great movie and not feel like the complexity becomes the commuter of the story, but the story and the emotion being the driver?"[22] In training, the animators took a six-hour kung fu class.[23]

Producer Melissa Cobb said that originally Po was "more of a jerk," but that the grapheme changed after they heard Jack Black.[23] According to Black, he more often than not worked "in isolation", although he and Dustin Hoffman did spend a 24-hour interval together, which Cobb said helped with the scene where their characters face off.[23] Lucy Liu said that the film "was quite different because information technology was such a long process."[24] Liu said that when she was presented with the project they already had artwork of her character every bit well as a "short computerized video version of what she would expect like when she moved."[24]
