Kungfu Panda Vs Wong Fei Hung

A Chinese film company has released its answer to Dreamworks’ animated feature, “Kung Fu Panda”. “Wong Fei Hong vs. Kung Fu Panda” is a Chinese-produced unofficial sequel (to put it politely).The direct to video animated feature will obviously not have the production values of the original $130 million film.

The film features Kung Fu Panda and Chinese martial arts folk hero Wong Fei Hung. In the film, the panda is assigned by the Buddha to protect an ancient treasure that could give the bearer the power to conquer the world.

Kung Fu Panda created controversy in China when it was released, with the success of a Chinese-themed story produced by an American company angering Chinese who wondered why they themselves weren’t capable of producing such a film. Additionally, the release of the film coincided with a devastating earthquake in Sichuan province.

With Wong Fei Hong vs. Kung Fu Panda, the Chinese can be proud that they can rightfully answer Hollywood’s attempt to appropriate their cultural heritage. Meanwhile, the rest of the world will be able to appreciate the impressive scope of Chinese innovation.

There was no controversy over the movies release, because it's not that different from the hundreds of other Chinese-themed stories to begin with - minus the western flare. I don't know what your sources are, but as a Chinese I can tell you they are wrong.

And yes, also as a Chinese, I am proud that some no-name, low-budget animation studio created a bootleg of a mediocre childrens cartoon. Thanks, asshole.
