Everybody loved them so much, and we couldn't imagine leaving people at the end of the second film, that all of the pandas were gone because of the storyline. It was just a reassurance. We can't leave people thinking that all of the pandas are gone. People were asking, "Ooh, is he going to meet his panda father? " That big homecoming and identity search seemed like a great fruition to Po's journey. You went through a thorough research process with this film, then? Definitely. We always wanted to try to make something authentic. We don't want to make something that seemed like, "These people are vaguely interested. " No, we're hardcore fans. The first time, we had to research it from afar, through internet searches, book searches. The crew was amazing at how close they got it to the point that we had a very surprising response from the Chinese audience. They embraced it so much. That's why in the second one, we went to China—to actually hold real pandas, which was quite an honor. We wandered all over China.

In your opinion, what is the reasoning behind the lack of 2D animation coming from the studios these days? I think mainly it's audience taste. It's a big pendulum where people are always excited about the new things. At the time of the first movie, when everything was transforming over to CGI, everyone was all excited about CGI and they became used to seeing it. 2D is such an amazing art form, and it can't be lost. It got to the point where a big, big studio production wouldn't do the 2D format. Strangely, if you don't do it, you don't have the pipeline to do it. It becomes actually harder to do. The editing in the film is very striking—the ways in which you use split-screen techniques, for example. Clare [De Chenu] has been the editor on all three movies, and she is amazing.
