MOVIE:  Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po (Golden Globe nominee           Jack Black) is the biggest fan of kung fu around ... which doesn't           exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's           noodle shop.  When he's unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient           prophecy, Po's dreams become reality and he joins the world of           kung fu to study alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five:           Tigress (Academy Award(R) winner Angelina Jolie); Crane (Emmy           winner David Cross); Mantis (Emmy nominee Seth Rogen); Viper           (Emmy/SAG nominee Lucy Liu); and Monkey (international superstar           Jackie Chan) -- under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu           (two-time Oscar(R) winner Dustin Hoffman).  But before they know           it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung           (Emmy/Golden Globe winner Ian McShane) is headed their way, and           it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat.  Can he           turn his dreams of becoming a kung fu master into reality?  Po           puts his heart into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately           finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest           strengths.  The film opens nationwide in the US on June 6, 2008.
