Kung Fu Panda 2D-Animation
Amid over at Cartoon Brew points out this little treat. The Art of the Title blog has posted HD Quicktime versions of the 2D dream sequence and closing credits for Dreamworks's Kung Fu Panda, along with an interview with Hameed Shaukat, who produced both sequences.
Kung Fu Panda was surprisingly good, much better than it had any right to be, but as much as I enjoyed the movie itself (which is really just a pure-quill martial arts film in the tradition of HK filmmaking... that just so happens to star anthropomorphic animals), the 2D animation that book-ends the movie really steals the show.
If you haven't seen the flick, check out these short sequences and you'll see what I mean.
