The end credit sequence also features hand-drawn characters and still paintings in the background. The computer animation used throughout the film was more complex than anything DreamWorks had done before. When the head of production handed the script to VFX Supervisor Markus Manninen, she reportedly laughed and wished him "good luck". But for everyone that looked at it, it screamed complexity. We launched off saying, how can you make this movie tangible? How can you find smart ways to bring this world to life in a way that makes it a great movie and not feel like the complexity becomes the driver of the story, but the story and the emotion being the driver?
Producer Melissa Cobb said that originally Po was "more of a jerk," but that the character changed after they heard Jack Black. According to Black, he mostly worked "in isolation", although he and Dustin Hoffman did spend a day together, which Cobb said helped with the scene where their characters face off. The film held its worldwide premiere at the 61st Cannes Film Festival on May 15, , where it received massive and sustained applause at the end of the film's screening.
On the same day, a red carpet premiere for the home release was held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The movie can now be purchased as a stand-alone DVD or as part of a two-disc pack that includes the companion story Secrets of the Furious Five. Since its release, Kung Fu Panda has received positive reviews from critics. Richard Corliss of Time Magazine gave the film a positive review, stating the picture "provides a master course in cunning visual art and ultra-satisfying entertainment".
It also was the highest-grossing opening for a non-sequel DreamWorks Animation film at the time. Kung Fu Panda was also well-received in China. Its American creators showed a very sincere attitude about Chinese culture. The fact that such a successful film based on Chinese culture was created by the American movie industry has led to some Chinese introspection.
As with most of DreamWorks' animated films, composer Hans Zimmer scored the film. Zimmer visited China in order to absorb the culture and got to know the Chinese National Symphony as part of his preparation; in addition, Timbaland also contributed to the soundtrack. Furthermore, in some versions, the ending credit was sung by Rain. This marked the first collaboration in eight years for the two, who had previously worked together on DreamWorks' The Road to El Dorado and the action thriller Chill Factor.

The Valley of Peace was founded nearly a thousand years ago prior to the events of the first film by Master Oogway. Oogway stood on a hill overlooking the Valley and knew that he had found the place he would call home for the rest of his life.
The third chapter of Legend of the Legendary Warrior describes how Oogway later observed the "plight of the oppressed" and wept into what is now known as the Pool of Sacred Tears. Wanting to protect those that were considered "soft and weak" from the "hard and strong", Oogway formed the self-defense system of kung fu as a force for good.
He worked many years to perfect this system and help make the Valley a safe haven and a peaceful place to live. He helped to form the thousand-mile-long bridge that guarantees safe passage into the Valley, and admitted students under his instruction in learning the art of kung fu.
At this time, with the Valley and its inhabitants now well protected, it is presumed that the Valley had thus been named the Valley of Peace. The Valley of Peace serves as the main setting for most of the movie's events — aside from those involving Tai Lung 's escape from Chorh-Gom Prison , located in the snowy peaks of Mongolia. Tai Lung's defeat of the Furious Five at the Thread of Hope prompted the evacuation of the Valley, as the snow leopard was returning, putting the villagers in danger.
The citizens soon returned to the Valley after they caught sight of the golden shock wave of the Wuxi Finger Hold from a distance. Though many buildings of the Valley had been damaged as a result, the villagers found Po , the newly-proclaimed Dragon Warrior , had defeated Tai Lung.
In Kung Fu Panda Holiday , the Valley was seen in the winter season, with snow filling much of the area. The villagers showed their Winter Festival custom of decorating their houses with colorful lanterns at night, which awed Po when he stopped to look at the view. The citizens also shared meals with friends and family on the holiday, and Mr. Ping mentioned the customs of dancing and playing games as well.
The kung fu masters of the Jade Palace , however, tend to traditionally partake in the formal Winter Feast , though this tradition may have been altered since the events in Kung Fu Panda Holiday , where the masters joined in the village festivities. The Valley is the main setting in the series, which follows Po in his various adventures protecting the land along with the Furious Five and Shifu. The Valley of Peace is threatened by numerous foes throughout the series, among them the Croc Bandits , Junjie , and Hundun.
There appears to be more goats among the Valley's population in Legends of Awesomeness as well, though it is unknown why, as they don't appear in the second film which takes place after the series.
