Analysis: Kung fu panda






Additional Notes




Floor plan


Design behind the movie


  • Creating a distinct look based on "Chinese art - beauty in emptiness". Simplicity in shots - focus on characters and the background sets that were created. Chinese landscapes and architecture and artwork - culture, in particular the classic Chinese palace and temple architecture. Clothing fits in with the style of the time setting as well; the Jade Palace.






  • Outdoor locations influence by:
Li River Valley in the city of Guilin.


  • Gold signifying the Emperor and red, for luck were important; the primary colours used in the film.

Note: CinemaScope used to provide a wider view of the scenes.
