Kung Fu Panda Boycott in China...

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2008-07-06 22:22.

Kung Fu Panda has China calling for a boycott to the film.

Kung Fu Panda turned out to be more than just an animated hit in China. It has gotten Chinese artists to find fault with their own film industry and call for less controls on culture, according to Reuters.

Wu Jiang, the president of the China National Peking Opera Company told Reuters, “The film's protagonist is China's national treasure and all the elements are Chinese, but why didn't we make such a film?” The movie speaks of a fat panda who dreams of martial arts glory and this was faithful to the Chinese culture and laced with good humor that China was unable to produce, according to Reuters.
