Since its first run, it gained an unprecedented box office.The film became the first cartoon movie whose box office went over a hundred million and took over the position of The Lion King, also making it the new No.1 cartoon movie in inland market. It caused the cultural exchange and the collision between the China and Western world.Because of factors like cultural difference, a foreign film who wants to attain the acceptation of Chinese people is not an easy thing, but the Kung Fu Panda had done it. What’s more, the third sequel of Kung Fu Panda, during its first run in January this year,was still looked forward and warmly welcomed by the audience. The reason of such situation is thisHollywood film incarnated the traditional Chinese culture.Involuntarily, the film received acceptation from the mainland audience. And at the same time, it has given rise to reflection and introspection on the cultural difference between Chinese and Western.

said,“We had prepared this moviefor over ten years, every
oneof us had a heroic dream of defeating evil and be the helper of the weak in our childhood time. And as my own self, I am crazy about Chinese culture and Chinese Kung Fu.Thus, the creative idea of the Kung Fu Panda came up to me gradually. In other words, Kung Fu Panda is my very own lover’s letter to China.” In this film, the Chinese culture is expressed incisively
and vividly, the manifestationof differences and collisionsbetween the Chinese culture and Western culture can be spotted everywhere in this film, which is meant to attract the audiences whether they are Chinese or not.
