pardon me for asking sir, but do you think a kung fu panda would survive in the interstellar vacuum?
By: MrBloody32. on 13 Oct 08, 21:33:38
Imagine how long it would've taken to make Kung Fu Panda in 1977 using lines to form basic shapes and coloring them individually. It would've sucked!

BRILLIANT! No wonder this movie fried our brains when it came out in '77. It was put together by artists truly ahead of their time. Thanks for posting this!

I recently tried to draw 20 X-wings in the computer using 3D Studio Max R1 as I was trying to recreate the Death Star trench run. After replicating the X-wings 10 times, the computer began to slow down.
