Kung Fu Panda

Release date: 2008 American animated film. The computer animation in the film was more complex than anything DreamWorks had done before. They visited China to gather inspiration for the film. The animaters also took a Kungfu class. "A sequel, Kung Fu Panda 2, is in production and set for release on May, 2011." The hand-drawn animation sequence at the beginning of the film was made to resemble Chinese shadow puppetry. It took more than 4 years to make and the idea had been around even longer.
