Kung Fu Panda Quotes
There are a lot of movies that take place internationally, like Kung Fu Panda portraying a little bit of China, and Ratatouille portraying a little about Paris, but it's hard to find a movie that portrays Rio or Brazil. — Carlos Saldanha
I think it's because Po [from Kung Fu Panda] is such a geek, and he is so relatable. He is so excited by life and is excited to learn new things.

Oriental DreamWorks did a lot of the surfacing of the village [in Kung Fu Panda 3] and you know all the little paintings on all the gables and everything? They have meaning, and they could do that because they know what that means, we don't necessarily know about that over here. — Jennifer Yuh Nelson
All you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun.
You're right, we both have been working on these films [Kung Fu Panda] forever and we know these characters so well that literally we will react to the same note in the same way. We will have the same answer most of the time. — Jennifer Yuh Nelson

I don't know any real jiu-jitsu or judo or anything. I do movie kung fu. With that, you can fake a punch, but you can't really fake a judo throw. You can get help from the person who you're throwing because they can kind of launch themselves. — Keanu Reeves
When you see all of the pandas in this movie [Kung Fu Panda 3], they are rolling because that is exactly what they do.

I love martial-arts movies. I grew up with my dad watching kung-fu theater every Sunday. So it was kind of my thing. — Milla Jovovich
I lived right on the borderline of a black neighborhood. So I could go into the black area and then there'd be these ghetto theaters that you could actually see the new kung fu movie or the new blaxploitation movie or the new horror film or whatever. And then there was also, if you went just a little further away, there was actually a little art house cinema. So I could actually see, you know, French movies or Italian movies, when they came out. — Quentin Tarantino
Oddly enough, I've always - I've never actually seen "The Alamo" itself, actually. So I don't really have the association of "Green Leaves of Summer" as being "The Alamo" theme. Oddly enough, I grew up watching kung fu movies. They would use the theme "Green Leaves of Summer" in a lot of needle drops in kung fu movies a lot. So I was actually more familiar with it in a Bruce Li movie than I was actually from the John Wayne film. — Quentin Tarantino
We have those new environments [during Kung Fu Panda 3] that give a scale to the movie, that are the spirit realm and the panda village.

This time we found ourselves more free. — Jennifer Yuh Nelson
You have hundreds of artists you're dealing with across the world and the scale of this movie [Kung Fu Panda] was insane - we had a parallel pipeline going on where you had two versions recording Mandarin voice actors, getting it to be funny for Mandarin audiences going beyond a straight translation, and then animating it and lighting it, it's a lot of work. — Jennifer Yuh Nelson
I think we had to push forward to make sure it was different, do something that we had never done before and yet still have the consistency to stay in the same world.
