• "Kung Fu Panda," sequel hitting DVD together

  LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - In what is believed to be an industry first, Paramount Pictures is bundling its upcoming home v

  ideo release of "Kung Fu Panda" with a direct-to-video companion film and will release the package on a Sunday -- November 9 -- instead of the traditional Tuesday.

  Most of the major studios are actively producing direct-to-video sequels to major theatrical hits, but never before has one come out on home video the same day as the original. While studios occasionally have released titles on a Friday or Monday, this is the first time a new release will arrive in stores on a Sunday.

  "Kung Fu Panda," a DreamWorks Animation hit that grossed $213.8 million North America this summer, is the big kid-vid release of the holiday season. It will be available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.

  The companion film, "Secrets of the Furious Five," is slugged, "The 'Kung Fu Panda' story continues." The film delves into the backstories of the "Kung Fu Panda" characters, with all-new animation and Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman reprising their respective voice roles as Po and Master Shifu.

  What Paramount is calling the "Pandamonium Double Pack" will retail for less than $25. A single disc of "Kung Fu Panda" only also will be made available, priced below $20.

• Fur flies at `Kung Fu Panda' premiere at Cannes

  CANNES, France - Fur might be a politically incorrect fashion statement on the red carpet at the world's most-prestigious film fes

  tival. Not when you're the star of a movie called "Kung Fu Panda," though.

  DreamWorks Animation, whose past Cannes entries include the first two "Shrek" flicks and "Over the Hedge," put its adorable martial-arts hero alongside the festival's highbrow cinema entries Thursday with the premiere of the action comedy whose voice cast includes Jack Black, Angelina Jolie and Dustin Hoffman.

  "Being an official selection of the Cannes Film Festival is the Good Housekeeping seal of approval," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, DreamWorks' animation mastermind. "And it's particularly unique when it's a broad commercial movie as opposed to an art film. There's tremendous, tremendous value to that."

  DreamWorks uses Cannes as a launch-point for its movies, through screenings and clever stunts to catch the fancy of hordes of reporters, photographers and camera crews.

  Black, who joined "Shark Tale" co-stars Jolie and Will Smith for a ride in the Mediterranean aboard an inflatable shark at the 2004 festival, this time paraded on a pier among 40 people in giant panda suits the day before the movie's Cannes premiere.

  While Black hammed it up with some kung fu poses, he wisecracked that the incessant camera flashes could go a long way to solving the energy crunch.

  "If you harnessed all that electricity, it would probably be enough to take a small unmanned ship to the moon and back," Black said. "It's got to be 1.21 gigawatts of light flashes. It's just going to be sick. Do we really need that many pictures? Where are all those photos going?"

  Black provides the voice of Po, a panda in ancient China who idolizes his country's martial-arts heroes but is too slow and clumsy to emulate their moves, stuck instead toiling in his family's noodle shop. A twist of fate lands Po under the tutelage of a revered kung fu master (Hoffman), who must train the klutzy panda to battle an evil snow leopard (Ian McShane) intent on marauding and vengeance.

  Po's allies include a tiger (Jolie), a viper (Lucy Liu) and a monkey (Jackie Chan), whose graceful martial-arts skills put the lumbering panda to shame.

  "There's a concept which everybody responds to, the idea of this sort of soft, cuddly thing having to do this extremely active, athletic thing," said John Stevenson, who co-directed "Kung Fu Panda" with Mark Osborne.

  "We saw the potential of this being the archetypal hero's journey that has been done millions of times, but we could actually do the most extreme hero's journey," Osborne said. "Take the most unlikely guy and bring him all the way to being a hero."

  As cartoon heroes go, Katzenberg thinks Po can go toe-to-toe with the animation world's box-office heavyweight, the irritable ogre Shrek.

  "I do think that Po the panda is going to give Shrek a run for his money, because I think that Po in a very different way is without question the most lovable character we've ever created," Katzenberg said. "Shrek's an anti-hero hero. Po is an unlikely hero. He is more in tune with what we are ourselves. He actually has to find the hero within, and I think we all have a hero within us.

  "So it's just very relatable to find this kind of average guy who's working in his dad's noodle restaurant suddenly have an ambitious fantasy to be something great, only to learn that being the best version of yourself is greatness."

  "Kung Fu Panda" debuts in U.S. theaters June 6.

• "Kung Fu Panda" gets early raves from analysts

  LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The Beijing Olympicshave thus far been a PR nightmare for China. Leave it to thecountry's e

  mblematic panda bear to come to the rescue, with awelcome assist from DreamWorks Animation.

  A bit cuddlier than the real thing, "Kung Fu Panda" is setfor release June 6, two months before audiences might beinclined to stay home and watch Olympics coverage rather thanventure into a movie theater.

  It's also a safe distance between Lucasfilm/Paramount's"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" on May 22and rival studio Pixar's "WALL-E" on June 27.

  The advantageous timing is one reason Goldman Sachs analystIngrid Chung recently raised her six-month target on DWA sharesto $32 from $30. The stock closed Friday at $26.37, off morethan two percent in line with the broader market slump.

  Another reason is that Chung and her associates liked theportions of the movie they have seen so much that she isproclaiming it the next DWA franchise, predicting a sequel in2011.

  She upped her domestic boxoffice estimate to $220 million,which would make it the ninth-biggest CGI film in history,sandwiched between the Pixar duo of "Cars" and "Ratatouille."

  After viewing some of "Panda," the analyst said thecharacter development was good, the scenes were amusing and theconcept will appeal to a broad audience.

  Her enthusiasm is shared by others who have seen portionsof the film, like Pali Research analyst Richard Greenfield wholast month raised his worldwide box office estimate to $563million from $534 million.

  "The film leverages elements of the 'Star Wars' franchise,"Greenfield said. "The lead Panda character voiced by Jack Blackis very entertaining."

  Chung also is bullish about DWA's "master toy agreement"with Mattel that allows it to partake in more of the upsidefrom "Kung Fu Panda" merchandise.

  She notes that Mattel is planning a line of both plush toysand action figures based on the movie. Plus, Activision ispartnering with DWA for a video game to be released the sameday the film hits screens. Management teams at both Activisionand DWA, Chung says, "are very excited about the game."

  She also notes that "Panda" is the final release underDWA's HD DVD agreement and, since Toshiba no longer supportsthe format, the studio might have the option to release "KungFu Panda" on Blu-ray just in time for Christmas.
