...ancient China, a pudgy young panda named Po (voiced by Jack Black) dreams of "legends full of legendary warriors whose exploits are the stuff of legends." In these Technicolor daydreams, even the legendary Furious Five are no match for a panda's bodacity. In real life, or as real as a cartoon fantasy gets, Po is the waiter in the village noodle shop run by his father (James Hong) - who happens to be a goose, but never mind. When Po hears that the thousand-year-old turtle Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) is to anoint the Dragon Warrior that...
...demonize the Dalai Lama even after he has decried the violence in Lhasa. Despite all the bloodshed, he has been supportive of Beijing hosting the Games.

"Jack - he loved his players, he cared about his players," said Peter Sterling, who won three premierships under the master at the Sydney club Parramatta. It was to Sterling that Gibson offered perhaps his most famous piece of advice, at once simple, esoteric and delightfully clever. The coach told the halfback, who'd been kicking poorly, to "kick it to the seagulls" - in other words, to a part of the field that is free of opposition players, to the point where the gulls of a coastal city feel safe settling...
