What I should have added is that's her *real* name too. The site is just copying the info we already know.

I love the clip on the front page but why are so many clip/trailers of the movie being shown. If you see all them I get the distinct feeling you've seen a lot of the movie already.

I think DreamWorks marketing department does this kind of thing way to much in my opinion. :roll:

Woo, I got quite a kick out of that (pun intended) - it's really nice to see videos focusing more on the artistic process than it is watching celebrities talk about themselves. I'm really looking forward to this!

I agree Meg. It's too bad the audio wasn't working on the video.

Also, according to the following link (May 30th post) it says James Baxter team ("Enchanted" ++ fame) worked on the opening sequence of the movie.

That's neat. Nice video too, I think that was the first time we saw that turtle character.

Btw, I'm pretty sure the Kung Fu Panda promotion starts next Friday at McDonald's, woo! Here's hoping the toys are cute and they offer something collectible, ala Shrek the Thirds' drinking glasses. :)

Po looks the best :D I wonder if they"ll bring the same toys here,too (The Bee Movie toys we had were kinda like little plushies,also in the Shrek The Third Insted of 2 other baby ogres we had a Dronkey).

I wanted something collectible like Shrek The Third received, not the toys. But hey, that's cool anyway! I loooove the toys. Thanks so much for the link! I agree, Po does look the best. :)
