Watching movies used to be a once-a-week affair for Alv and I before Ian came along. Now it is a rare treat - ok maybe not so rare since we watch one every month (thanks to a great parent-support system!). It is especially nice when Alv splurges on Gold Class tickets for us. Wah watching movies is never the same after having done it at Gold Class. The plush reclining seats ala the old-SIA biz class seats, the comfy thick warm blanket, a hot delicious latte (doesn't come with the $30 per seat price)... But I digress.
I can't wait to watch Kung Fu Panda. The trailer is so funny already. I think part of its charm lies in its "copying" of the Chinese/Cantonese kungfu tv serial/movie scenes I grew up watching. Yes I love my kungfu shows though I may not look it. There is one scene when Po and his shifu fight over a dumpling with chopsticks - that's so classic kungfu!
Anyway here are some fun facts about the movie - made possible with HP technology:
- The weirdest animation control was for Po’s uvula (the piece of tissue hanging down from your palate)
- Po’s cheeks were rebuilt during the film to allow him to stuff his mouth with more food!.
- The Jade Palace is made of 88,100 different surfaces/pieces.
- Master Crane has 6,019 feathers on his body.
- Viper has 120 bones along the length of her body.
- Number of arrows that shower down on Tai Lung during his prison escape: 1,500 arrows.
- When Po and the Five eat together, there are 64 noodles in each bowl.
- Number of acupuncture needles in Po’s back while talking to Tigress: 133.
