Chinese Zhao Bandi sues Dreamworks, because of Kung fu Panda
Zhao Bandi(趙半狄,自稱熊貓藝術家) has launched legal action against Dreamworks - the studio behind the movie - for apparently depicting the panda in a negative light and making a mockery of Chinese heritage.
Bandi previously called on people in China to boycott the picture amid fears it could be seen as offensive.
And now he has filed papers in Beijing, demanding an apology from the filmmakers.
He says, “Designing the panda with green eyes is a conspiracy. A panda with green eyes has the feeling of evil. We would never have used green eyes to describe a kindhearted figure.
“Next, why is the panda’s father a duck? Many foreigners think that the giant panda is not just China’s symbol, but also the Chinese people’s symbol.
“Drawing the father of the giant panda as a duck is an insult to the Chinese people.”
