Q. What made you want to do this movie about a karate-chopping panda?

A. I had a lot of fun working on Shark Tale [as Lenny, the scene-stealing, vegetarian shark], and I wanted to do another good animated film. You have more time for improv and character exploration when you're doing animation. And I thought it would be interesting to play a character who has an idea of himself as a kung-fu master but is really less than a master.
