The plot, as such:
Riffing on the Chinese penchant for going way, way back when telling one’s family story, Hammond decided to employ the techniques used in Forrest Gump or Woody Allen’s Zelig before that to place the ancestors of the Sneezing Baby Panda in crucial roles throughout history.
“One panda’s a terracotta warrior. Another’s on the Long March,” said Hammond, who with former Nine Network news producer Walsh dug through archival footage they’ll incorporate into the film. “You know the famous photo of Nixon sitting with Mao? Using visual effects, we’ll replace the woman interpreter sitting between them with a panda.”
That article also has Hammond bitching because South Park didn’t give them a dump truck full of money when they made fun of the clip, which totally puts me on the side…of South Park!
Be on the lookout for The Life and Times of Sneezing Baby Panda….whenever it comes out. If you care. You can feel my excitement.
