Kung Fu Panda

Plot

About Kung Fu Panda

Kung Fu Panda is a 2008 American animated martial arts comedy film directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne, and written by Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, from a story by Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris.

The film also stars the voices of Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Ian McShane, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Randall Duk Kim, James Hong, Dan Fogler, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Jackie Chan.

The film began development in October 2004, and was initially conceived as a parody of martial arts films. However, director Stevenson decided instead to make an action-comedy wuxia film that incorporated the hero's journey narrative for the lead character. The project was announced in September 2005. As with most DreamWorks Animation films, the score for Kung Fu Panda was composed by Hans Zimmer, on this occasion collaborating with John Powell.…
