Paper 1-Outline "KUNG FU PANDA"
Hypothesis: Kung Fu Panda is a comical animated film with its own universal details that is rather different from what we humans are used to.
I. Introduction: Kung Fu Panda is a animated feature length film made from Dreamworks in 2008. Kung Fu Panda is a comical animated film with its own universal details that is rather different from what we humans are used to. Po helps his father run the family noodle restaurant and it is expected of him to continue the legacy. However, Po is not interested in noodles, he much rather practice Kung Fu! Po is a panda bear and his father is a rooster. In this universe not much is aligned with what we are used to.
II. In this universe, size does not define strength.
a) At the 37 minute mark of this film, a cricket was able to beat Po in a battle. In our universe crickets are usually defeated with the mere strength of our index finger.
b) At the one hour mark, the tiger, snake, and monkey were battling with the evil panther. The cricket was in charge of holding up the bridge, which held up all of their weight. The cricket, although had some difficulty holding up the bridge, nonetheless kept the bridge above the ground.
--However, eventually Po gains lots of strength and is able to take down the evil Panther.
III. In this universe, gravity doesn’t hold down a panda bear.
a) At the 12 minute mark, Po used a tree to catapult what looked like 20 to 30 feet over a brick wall.
b) At the 14 minute mark, Po sat on about 8 to 10 fireworks and flew about 100 feet into the air.
c) At the 15 minute mark, Po was carried by 5 roosters and 4 pigs out of the festival.
All three of these examples show that Po as a panda bear didn’t weight as much as he would of here in our very own universe.
--Gravity is usually on Po’s side, however the other characters have mentioned that when Po walks he makes tons of noises, and he can put cracks into the floors with his weight.
IV. In this universe, there are no humans; so in place of the humans, all the animals have human like features.
a) Most of the animals can walk on all fours: pandas, pigs, rabbits, tigers, turtles, rhinos
b) The animals in this film have “opposable thumbs” Po, Tiger, Monkey all can use chopsticks to eat noodles.
c) Rhino’s are considered to be part of the bad guys. Rhinos in KFP have piercings, wear studs, and have tattoos.
d) Most of all, all these animals speak in English.
-- However, randomly in the movie the animals would say phrases in Chinese, they would sometimes say “master” in English, and sometimes see “shi fu” in Chinese. They aren’t exactly bilingual, but can say random phrases in Chinese.
V. Conclusion
Kung Fu Panda is a animated film following a huge Panda Bear who always dreamt of following Kung Fu, in his universe, the rules aren't anything like what we humans are used to.
