as someone with both Chinese parents and also m.a. (Chow Gar school), I felt disrespected when Po plays with Ninja stars. I cannot understand why movie that attempts to reflect as much Chinese culture as possible (excluding decorating everything with Dragons, which is a secret Chinese symbol and not used for decorations - even in the biggest Chinese movies you won't find too many Dragons) added this insult.

Kung Fu Panda is a movie made by Westerners, for Westerners, about the cultural zeitgeist of Asian martial arts films and their common tropes as interpreted by Westerners, for whom the distinction between Japanese and Chinese martial disciplines isn't really relevant. Dreamworks didn't add "ninja stars" as a sly insult to Chinese culture, they added "ninja stars" because "ninja stars" are a common element in the films being parodied. I mean, it isn't a documentary about Chinese history, it's a comedy with talking cartoon animals. Get over yourself, sheesh.
