Short filmTranscript
00:00Let's get started.
00:04Just pressure.
00:13Awesome. I'm warmed up.
00:15Everybody is Kung Fu fighting in DreamWorks comedic action-packed Kung Fu Ben.
00:22Is there any more for me to say and enjoy?
00:25Starring Chad Black as the awesome Kung Fu-loving panda, Poe.
00:30This is the greatest in Kung Fu history.
00:32Dustin Hoffman as the small but powerful Master Shifu.
00:36One must first master the highest level of Kung Fu.
00:40Okay, take it easy. I can't wait to get started.
00:43And the Elite Furious Five, voiced by Angelina Jolie as Tigress.
00:49Don't try and stop me.
00:51Jackie Chan as Monkey.
00:53We should get out.
00:55Seth Rogen as Mantis.
00:57This is really good.
00:58Come over here.
00:59Lucy Liu as Viper.
01:01What are you talking about? This is amazing.
01:04And David Cross as Graeme.
01:06How'd you get out of there alive?
01:09Together, they will do battle with the greatest Kung Fu warrior ever, Tai Lung.
01:14Voiced by Ian McShane.
01:16You think I'm a fool?
01:18Ha ha ha.
01:20And destiny will be determined as one noodle-making panda discovers if he has what he drinks to become the
01:27ultimate Kung Fu master.
01:32I had a voice in an animated feature called Shark Tale.
01:38And I had a lot of fun making that.
01:40And Jeffrey Katzberg was like, hey, let's make another one.
01:43This time, you're the big cheese.
01:45And it's called Kung Fu Panda.
01:46And I was like, yeah.
01:47I'm ready to step up.
01:50Po is a panda.
01:52Woo!
01:52And he's big and cuddly and not cute.
01:55I'm just being myself on this one.
01:57They wanted me to.
01:58They wanted to be the real name.
02:00Woo!
02:01Made it!
02:03Woo!
02:04I'm a huge Jack Black fan.
02:06He has brought so much to the character and so much of himself.
02:09Is my face really red?
02:11What happens when you really feel it?
02:12And it's helped us create not only a world that's believable, but a character that's really real and genuine.
02:18And all that just comes directly from Jack and is inspired by his performance.
02:23Legend tales of a legendary warrior who's Kung Fu skills with a stuff of legend.
02:29The universe has brought us that dragon warrior.
02:34What?
02:35What?
02:36What?
02:37That's the way, wait!
02:39That flapping panda can possibly be the answer to our problem.
02:45Shifu is the great master of Kung Fu.
02:48Do you want to learn Kung Fu?
02:51Yeah!
02:52Dustin Hoffman is the great master of the art of acting.
02:55Go ahead, panda.
02:57Show us what you can do.
02:58Um, are they gonna watch or should I just wait until I get back to work or something?
03:02Just hit it.
03:03I'm out of space.
03:04I'm out of space.
03:05I'm out of space.
03:05I'm out of space.
03:07How are you gonna hit something that moves like that?
03:09Would you hit?
03:11I play an endangered wearer Chinese panda.
03:14I refuse to be in the film unless I can play an endangered panda.
03:18Can I punch your walls?
03:19Can I do a contour backflip?
03:20Focus.
03:21Focus.
03:22I get the Shifu kicked out of me.
03:24My patience is wearing thin.
03:26Awesome.
03:28Awesome.
03:28I'm ready.
03:28Go.
03:31Yay!
03:33Woo!
03:33Very important.
03:34The actor that was playing Shifu would be someone who you would have that feeling that
03:39people would honor them with respect.
03:41Dustin just as that.
03:42Grand Theft Asp.
03:43It just makes you believe anything.
03:45Who is worthy to finally gaze upon the highest teachings of Kung Fu?
03:51The Furious Five!
03:52You're so much bigger than your action figures.
03:54Except for you, Mantis. You're about the same.
03:57Who's five big heroes in life are...
04:00Megan, Mantis, Cray, Viper, Tigress...
04:06I was secretly hoping that I got to be her.
04:10It's very important that I'm the tiger.
04:12I love a tiger.
04:16They're all different styles of Kung Fu, and hers is attack.
04:19There's no defense, it's just attack, attack, attack.
04:22Don't try to stop me.
04:24Watch out!
04:26No, no!
04:28He's smart. He won't come back up those steps.
04:31When I first saw her, I thought, that must be Jackie Chan.
04:34And finally, I guess I'm not going to be the tiger.
04:37And they got so excited.
04:39This is what you trained me for.
04:43Angelina brought this amazing warmth and soul to the character.
04:46Our first session with her, we came away just so thrilled that we really had a flesh and blood character
04:51for Tigress.
04:52And she has kids, so she kind of knows how to deal with people like us.
04:56We're just kind of like big dopes.
04:59Oh, that's it!
05:01I can't take this seriously now.
05:02Yeah!
05:07Master Monkey, one of the fierce five.
05:11Monkey just jumping up and down, moving around, have a lot of acrobatics.
05:19Whoa!
05:20Use the stick!
05:21Not your head!
05:23Monkey is fast moving, and acrobatic.
05:26He does a lot of flippity-doos, and that will kick you into chops.
05:29He also, uh, is pretty funny.
05:32It's Monkey.
05:33Perfect for Jackie Chan.
05:34I don't understand. How can that be the Dragon Warrior?
05:42Don't tell Monkey.
05:43What is he doing?
05:45He's probably the original combination of, uh, Kung Fu action and comedy.
05:50I use comedy with my Kung Fu together, I think, would be good for me.
05:54Aha! Master Shifu!
05:56Of course it's Shifu! What do you think I'm doing?
05:58You're a gangsta in that arena.
06:00Yeah!
06:05Monkey!
06:06Viper's a snake, which can be very deceiving.
06:08She seems quite lethal, but she's actually quite sweet.
06:11I'm afraid we were a little hard on him last night.
06:13That Kung Fu stuff is hard work, right?
06:15Your biceps sore?
06:17Wow, the guy just doesn't quit.
06:18Get ready to feel the thunder.
06:20It's kind of inspiring.
06:22How's that?
06:23Kind of.
06:24These characters become real people to you, part of your real life.
06:28It's so alive.
06:29It's funny, because when you're doing the voiceover, you forget that the camera's there,
06:33capturing all the gestures of your face and the expressions.
06:36What are you talking about?
06:37This is amazing!
06:38I just assumed they're gonna match the voice to the character,
06:40but I never think about it the other way around.
06:42Lucy Liu.
06:43Viper.
06:43Smooth.
06:44Sexy.
06:45Sultry.
06:47Danger.
06:48Don't get too hypnotized by the other stuff.
06:52I guess I'll show you.
06:53The poor guy's just gonna get himself killed!
06:56Are you ready?
06:57I was born ready.
06:58Ow!
06:58Ow!
06:59Ow!
07:00Ow!
07:00Ow!
07:00Ow!
07:00Ow!
07:00Ow!
07:00I'm sorry, brother, I thought you said you were ready!
07:03Oh, ow!
07:05Ow!
07:06Ow.
07:08Ow!
07:08Ow!
07:10Ow!
07:12Ow!
07:18Ow!
07:22Ow!
07:22that's impressive. I warm up to Poe pretty fast. I'm amused by him and see that he's a good guy.
07:29It's just not easy finding the right nerve points. Under all this fat fur, I was going to say fur.
07:38Oh, great. Lovely, lovely, lovely. Seth Rogen is probably the best improver in the movie.
07:45He opens his mouth and stuff starts to happen. He creates magic.
07:48If I had it to the bandit, he's got a lot of heart, and he's incredibly fun to watch bounce.
07:55Act like an animated crane. All right, yeah, here's something I would never do.
08:02David Cross plays a crane. Crane is like the long spindly leg one.
08:11He's a master at deflection. If you try to throw a throwing star or something, deflect, deflect.
08:21Very good. I guess master at deflection is me as someone who doesn't answer questions in a forthright way.
08:29Thank you. Don't mention it.
08:31Crane is the kind of guy I definitely hang out with, you know, and just grab a brew and, you
08:38know,
08:38maybe make some chili, a big pot of chili.
08:40Whoa, that smells good. Oh, you are a really good cook.
08:45I guess my body doesn't know it's the Dragon Warrior yet.
08:56Ian's amazing. Ian can go from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds.
09:01He comes in as the nicest guy in the world, and then he becomes Tai Lung.
09:05Hey! Oh!
09:06Ah!
09:08McShane doesn't really play the good guy in a lot of things.
09:11I don't know why. Maybe because he's horrified.
09:17Bad guy's always getting the best lines.
09:20What are you going to do, big guy?
09:22Sit on me?
09:23Even as a childish animated figure, he scares me.
09:26Fly back there and tell them the Dragon Warrior is coming home.
09:33Come this way!
09:34He won't get far.
09:35Archers, now!
09:40My character, the commander, is a rhinoceros.
09:43Broad shoulders.
09:45Big all over muscular.
09:47Probably can be expressed like at least 5,000 pounds.
09:50Fears nobody.
09:51Except the Tai Lung.
09:54Oh, did I step on the witty titties, too?
09:57He's trying to be tough.
09:58He's trying to impress this ghost.
10:00They like him.
10:01Come on, look at him.
10:02He's a kid, but in the back of your mind, you know who it is.
10:05I hope he doesn't get loose.
10:08I have had a vision.
10:10Tai Lung will return.
10:13Master Gugwe is played by Randall Duke Kim.
10:15We wanted somebody who could not only play alongside Dustin Hoffman,
10:19which is a pretty tall order,
10:21but could give us the weight of this thousand-year-old spiritual leader of the entire Valley of Peace.
10:26Your acting as if fate is something you can control.
10:31I've seen myself as a tortoise for many years, you know?
10:35I can't tell you how many people love your voice and love your character.
10:39I love this character.
10:41Wu Wei is an entity of character that I can only aspire to.
10:46He's like what I would want to be as I get older.
10:51We are noodle folk.
10:53Broth runs through our veins.
10:55Isn't that funny?
10:56As Paul's father, Mr. Pink, is a duck.
10:58Come on, son.
11:00Let's get back to work.
11:02See it, Doug?
11:03I need to go back and look at the drawings.
11:05It's so silly.
11:06In our first session working with James Hong,
11:08he told us that his dad had a noodle shop,
11:11so he brought that to the character, which was really cool.
11:13Actually, it's a table three, five seconds and twelve.
11:16My father used to stop someone like that.
11:18Service with a smile.
11:19I'm just a loving father who cared for his son a lot.
11:24And that enthusiasm, I think, takes care of itself.
11:27That's my boy.
11:28The Kung Fu part really reminds me of a lot of the things I've seen in the Chinese films of
11:33old.
11:34Kung Fu Panda seems to marry the voices with the characters and the action very well.
11:40You're free to eat.
11:42Am I?
11:43Are you?
11:50Nailed it.
11:50And that's the game.
11:51There's a game called Essence that we used to play in our house.
11:55We have to ask them if this person were a bird, what kind of bird would they be?
11:59If this person were the weather, what kind of weather?
12:01And I think if you would say, well, if Jack Black was an animal, what animal would he be?
12:05He would be this animal.
12:07It was a perfect casting.
12:09What are you doing here?
12:11You're stuck.
12:12Stuck?
12:13I'm stuck.
12:14Help him.
12:15The panda who treats it like a joke.
12:18You're so awesome.
12:19He is silly and loose and sweet.
12:21Great comedy makes us all laugh.
12:24I think he is perfect as pro.
12:25I think he is perfect as pro.
12:29Someone wrote that.
12:31How did you get out of there alive?
12:33Bloody knuckles.
12:35And broken bones.
12:36Even in his voice, he's relatable.
12:38He has an every bang quality.
12:40It kind of looks like there might be some panda blood in him.
12:43Three drops of panda blood in him, Jack Black.
12:46I don't know where it is.
12:48I've never seen a panda in person, but I'm sure that after all my work as a panda, that
12:54now I can just go right up to one and give it a kiss.
12:57I'm going to go to the nearest panda zoo and ask them to open the cage.
13:03Let me inside.
13:04Lock the cage behind me.
13:06Let me spend some time with the pandas.
13:08All right.
13:09You're awesome.
13:10Last thing I'm going to say.
13:11Okay.
13:11Bye-bye.
