Kung Fu Panda/Trivia
- Doing It for the Art: The first reaction of the producers at hearing from the animators that they didn't know how to do the rope bridge fight was encouragement; that meant that nobody had done it before and from that challenge, one of animation's wildest action sequences was created.

- Lord Shen or Commissioner Jim Gordon? Perhaps Batman isn't the only one with a secret identity.
