[edit] Comment

This movie is racist. 71.65.35.98 16:47, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

On a more useful comment, perhaps it is my long exposure to it but I can't help but think of Ranma 1/2 and Ranma's father martial artist turned panda thanks to some magical pools Saotome Genma every time I see this. I just wonder is anybody with this project knew of Ranma 1/2.--BruceGrubb (talk) 05:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

The films that the actors have been in is not part of what species of animal they play in this movie! Also the trivia bit at the bottom makes no sense!!! Nathan 13:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tigress the love interest

I have a stinging feeling that Tigress will be the love interest of Po. It says on her movie bio, "But even the strongest can be wrong, and Tigress soon finds out that destiny arrives in unexpected ways." 71.215.20.200 (talk) 23:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe they'll have kids at the end(although I can't imagine what tiger and panda offspring look like) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.141.36 (talk) 22:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Alternatively, it might mean that Tigress is wrong about Po being a failure and you are babbling. 218.186.254.124 (talk) 09:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Connection to Sly Cooper

Does anybody notice that the kung fu panda is kinda like the panda king from the sly cooper video game series? If the panda king makes fireworks then sucker punch productions may have to sue dreamworks. Rubixmike14 22:40, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

They're both anthro pandas. That's the only similarity i see. But if he makes fireworks, they might file a lawsuit. -Lord Of Demise(not logged in) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.181.243.232 (talk) 22:11, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shifu is a Red Panda?

Really? Where did that answer come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.142.77.40 (talk) 05:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

The trailers, its quite obvious —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lowsgt (talk • contribs) 08:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dustin Hoffman

Why isn't he listed among the main cast, while other people are? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lowsgt (talk • contribs) 08:19, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

Is anybody agree that the plot is too long and too detailed? I hope it can be edit to shorter version so that it won't become a big spoiler. Tan pang (talk) 17:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ducks or geese?

i personally found chinese population in the movie depicted in a somewhat symbolic way. the pig, for example, is a part of the chinese zodiac; pork is widely used in chinese cuisine. the rabbit is also a part of the zodiac; though i cannot its meat being that widely used, i kind of see a somewhat ... sarcastic remark (?) concerning the rapid way the chinese population has been expanding. and then you have ... geese? or ducks. not parts of the zodiac, neither. but at least peking duck is considered one of china's national foods ... so why geese? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nevena Stoeva (talk • contribs) 05:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
