Mark: I mean, all the work that we did early on was kind of crazy, you know, like we were trying to do something that was really different that no one had ever seen before, Kung Fu and animation, a comedy but also like a hard core Kung Fu film, like it was something people couldnt but there heads around, so I think in the beginning we were just like, lets just get through tomorrow, lets not get to the premiere, lets just get through tomorrow, when eventually, we figured out how to shape it up in a way to express it to people, one of the earliest things we came up with early on was whatever Akira Kirouswa shot a Jerry Lewis movie and everyone started to go, ahhhh!, John: To find the kind of film that we were going to make, that was big in scope and hopefully be beautifully shot, funny, but funny from character, not funny from you know, pop culture references or anything, so it sort of a very useful, kind of glib, but useful phrase to say this is how were different from the stuff other stuff out there. 00:17:24 - Sound Bite: Jonathan Aibel Screenwriter, Ethan Reiff (black asian shirt), Cyrus Voris(with dark gray jacket) Story Writers Kung Fu Panda Jonathan: Well these guys, came with the original idea five years ago, I came on 2 and a half years ago with my partner, unseen to then write the screenplay the dialogue, so you can ask them the inspiration for the idea. Ethan: We both always loved Chinese movies and Hong Kong movies and Kung Fu movies, it just seemed like a great opportunity to do something that could appeal to everybody, because kids are gonna love this movie, and since it was done really well and I think the grown ups are gonna love it also. For us as martial arts and Hong Kong film fans its just it was a little fun. Cyrus: There was an initial; the notion of the Kung Fu fighting Panda was just so funny, you couldnt beat the notion was so hilarious. OC: You took it to Tarentino and he said no. Cyrus: The other thing honestly is that the other Kung Fu masters in the movie, the furious 5, they all are based on traditional martial arts fighting style, there all, you know, crane style, tiger style, mantis style, those are real martial arts styles, it was sort of a no brainer, it was like, ok, we can actually take those styles and see where they really came from, the came from real animals, that did these things, it was a lot of fun. 00:19:38 - Sound Bite: Jonathan Aibel Screenwriter, Ethan Reiff (black asian shirt), Cyrus Voris(with dark gray jacket) Story Writers Kung Fu Panda Cyrus: Uh, I dont know, uh, a monkey, because the monkey in the movie does, the monkey does monkey style Kung Fun and its sort of a fun style Kung Fu, I like monkey. Ethan: You know, I like the panda, he gets to eat all the time and I eat all the time, so. Jonathan: Ill go with a cat, they sleep a lot, but they can be very productive and they bath themselves often. 00:20:13 - B-Roll Panda Character on Red Carpet goofing around. 00:23:30 - B-Roll Jeffrey Katzenberg talking with reporters 00:23:46 - B-Roll Panda Character on Red Carpet goofing around, with Jack Black. 00:27:38 - Jeffrey Katzenburg CEO DreamWorks, SKG Well one more, we got Madagascar coming too at the end of this year, so really 2009 is the beginning of the new age for all of us I think with 3D, but uh, we love, you know, this has been 5 years in the making, and I think that, you know, I think that Po is maybe the most huggable adorable animated character that we ever you know had at Dreamworks and uh, you know having Jack Black as the voice has been genuine movie magic, I dont know if there has ever been a better marriage between an actor/comedian and a piece of animation, I mean, its right up there with Donkey and Eddie and Aladdin, you know, the genie from Aladdin and Robin Williams, I mean, he brings so much to this film, its just amazing. 00:28:42 - Jeffrey Katzenburg CEO DreamWorks, SKG Uh, you know, I think a lion, you know, its nice to be king. (He laughs) 00:30:18 - Sound Bite: James Hong Mr. Ping Kung Fu Panda I think I would like to be the mantis, you know, the mantis he strike very quick (he does moves) the mantis is known for speed and multi fractured, in other words Im not going to crack your neck in one place but in several places, you notice how fast a mantis moves you cant see him move, the other people the tiger, you know when he is going to strike to you, of course your dead by the time you know, but the mantis give you that multi jabs at the same time 00:31:02 - B-Roll: Fashion Shot/James Hong daughter 00:32:25 - B-Roll: Panda Character with Jack Black and Lucy Liu 00:33:32 - John Stevenson Director Kung Fu Panda 00:35:54 - John Stevenson Director Kung Fu Panda Mark Osborne Director Kung Fu Panda (Guy with glasses) John: Obliviously, its a message of self empowerment, a message we believe in, one that we like our kids, and hopefully other peoples kids and maybe, you know, other people in general the world would be better if they believe that. Mark: I think the message is what makes you different is what makes you special so embrace that, let that be ok to be different, let it be ok to be flawed and make mistakes, you can be different you can aspire to be something that maybe no ones ever done before, you can actually do those things. John: It doesnt matter what your shape is, or what your background is, any of those things that you put on yourself is a limiting factor, dont do that, just trust that you have everything inside you to succeed if you trust that and commit to it. Mark: It doesnt matter if youve never made an animated feature film for a giant studio with a huge million dollar premiere, you can do it, you know, thats the message. 00:36:54 - A20.
