enough talk. let's fight

Every Thanksgiving we purchase a new dvd for our niece and nephew as a reward for sitting through a long day of football. This year's winner is Kung Fu Panda and the opening sequence is one of my favorite animations. I can relate to Po's fearless warrior dream, set in this arresting, inky style of chinese shadow puppetry. If you've never seen this hand-drawn, 2D animation before, I recommend watching in HD! "There is no charge for attractiveness...or awesomeness."

When you get a hold of the dvd, check out the extra feature, Mr Ping's Noodle House. Alton Brown of Iron Chef America is his usual campy self, but it is fascinating to see how these noodles are created by hand!
