Kung Fu Panda has captured critics and audiences with its irreverent mix of kung fu and heart, a tale of a slacker panda who dreams of being a kung fu master. Design and branding studio Shine was tasked with creating a main title sequence that conveyed all this while serving as a bookend to the 2D dream sequence that opens the film, and crediting 900 people who worked on it. The result, which clocks in at nine minutes, is a mini-movie in its own right.... »

It's been known for a while now (at least since the 2005 release of Chicken Little) that animated films do especially well in 3D versions.
